FAQ: Python Data Scraping
1) What data sources can you scrape?
Any publicly accessible website or document that permits automated access under its terms and local laws. We review each target first.
2) How do you handle anti-bot systems?
Headless browsers (Playwright/Selenium), IP rotation, dynamic waits, retries, fingerprint hygiene, and respectful rate limits.
3) How do you ensure data accuracy?
Schema validation, field-level rules, de-duplication, sampling, anomaly detection, and reconciliation against ground truth where available.
4) Which formats do you deliver?
CSV, JSON, Excel, databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL/MongoDB), Elasticsearch indexes, S3, APIs, or Google Sheets.
5) Can you build dashboards?
Yes—lightweight dashboards for KPIs, alerts & trends, or we can integrate with your BI tools.
6) Is scraping legal?
It depends on the data and jurisdiction. We collect only publicly available data and comply with terms, robots directives, and applicable laws.
7) Do you scrape behind logins?
Only with explicit authorization and a lawful basis from the data owner or client, and where terms allow.
8) How often can you refresh data?
From near-real-time to daily/weekly/monthly—frequency depends on target site complexity and your use case.
9) How do you price projects?
By complexity (dynamic pages, captchas), volume (pages & fields), frequency, QA depth, and hosting scale.
10) Can you enrich or normalize data?
Yes—standardization, entity resolution, taxonomy mapping, and optional enrichment from permitted sources.
11) Do you offer SLAs?
Yes for recurring feeds: uptime, freshness windows, delivery times, and fix turnaround.
12) What about PII?
We avoid collecting PII unless there is clear consent and a lawful basis. Compliance and privacy come first.
13) Can you integrate with our systems?
We support APIs, webhooks, S3/FTP, DB loads, and message queues to fit your data stack.
14) How do you monitor crawlers?
Centralized logs, metrics, alerts, and auto-healing strategies to keep feeds reliable.
15) Do you provide a trial?
We offer a free sample scrape and a lightweight SRS so you can assess quality before committing.
