To ensure compatibility with the Windows operating system, I propose developing the program using Python. Python offers excellent libraries and tools for web scraping and data manipulation, making it a suitable choice for this project.
The program will retrieve property data from Zillow by leveraging web scraping techniques. Using the provided Excel file, the program will read each row, extract the property address, and initiate a search on Zillow to retrieve the corresponding Zestimate property value. The retrieved data will be organized and formatted into an Excel file, providing a user-friendly output format.
My proficiency in Python allows me to efficiently handle data extraction, manipulation, and integration with Excel. I have extensive experience working with APIs, which might be useful in optimizing the data retrieval process.
Attention to detail is crucial in data retrieval and accuracy. To ensure the highest level of accuracy, I will implement robust error handling and validation mechanisms to handle any potential exceptions during the scraping process.
I am confident that my programming skills, web scraping expertise, and attention to detail align well with your project requirements. I am committed to delivering a reliable and efficient program that meets your expectations.
Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to contribute my skills and deliver a successful program for you.
