This project should be written in Python 2.7, using beautifulsoup4 (bs4) and scrapy. Link for the site can be provided on simple request. Please provide your budget and references of previous work. ATTENTION! This shouldn't require too much coding work with Python, Beautifulsoup, Scrapy and resquests. You don't have to provide a user interface etc. Just plain functional code (pay attention to exception handling though). Code should contain comments as well, so I can easy understand what's going on. I need a scraper for a newssite (no rss), where each news item and the comments for one day (last 24hours) should be scraped and put in an json-file (without html-code in it, besides for links and images). I need one json-file for every day of scraping (filename should start with date). You don't have to provide chronjob. Will launch the script on a daily basis myself. Also, the profiles of the authors (from as well newsitems and comments) should be stored in a seperate json-file that reflects the nested structure of the online profile, together with the date 'last updated' (is part of the profile). This file should contain no html code whatsoever. These profiles should be appended to one json file. If a new profile is found, it should be appended to the json-file. When a profile is updated, a new profile is added (the old one stays in the json-file), that reflects all topics (changed and unchanged) and the new date 'last updated'. Payment only after completion of full job (via milestones). Have several other jobs of this type.

Hello, I worked with you on your last project. This one isn't too different, so I'll use more or less the same Scrapy setup as before. Regards, Blender3D.
