Posted 9 months ago

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I need a script written that can: - Open a URL address. - Download a .gz file at that address (approx 65k in size) - Unzip the .gz file so as to access the HTML file inside - Open the HTML file and extract all the URL text within the HTML file (it follows a similar pattern). This is the text between <loc>...</loc> in each line of the file. - Import this URL text into a excel spreadsheet. - open the next .gz file and copy the steps above - repeat (loop) until the URL text in 763 .gz files has been extracted into excel. - combine the information in as few excel files as possible. - I should be able to run this script on my own laptop and leave it run whenever I want. The number of files may change over time, the script should know it has downloaded and extracted the information from the last file and then stop the script. -

Hello sir. I am confident in API and web scraping using Python. I have more than 8 years of good experience in this field and have successfully done several projects similar to yours. Python is very suitable for downloading and unzipping the .gz file based on the url and extracting the text. I fully understand your requirements, but there are a few questions I need to know more about. If you work with me, it is the best choice and you will get satisfactory results. I can start working right away. We can discuss it further via private chat. Best regards.
