Problem

Our client, a large e-commerce company, needed to gather pricing data from their competitors' websites in order to stay competitive. However, manually collecting this data was time-consuming and inefficient.

We were tasked with developing an automated web scraping solution that could extract pricing information from the competitor websites on a regular basis.

Solution

We developed a Python-based web scraping tool that utilized BeautifulSoup and Selenium to extract pricing data from the competitor websites. The tool was designed to run on a regular schedule and automatically update the client's internal database with the latest pricing information.

In addition, we implemented error handling and logging features to ensure that any issues with the web scraping process were quickly identified and resolved.
