Root772317y$500? THAT'S IT?!
$1 per site for a custom scraping script and your time?
You. are. insane. -
hack61577yHello. I have a scraping project for you. I want you to scrape data from google. Just scrape all results for all queries and store them in our db. Our budget is 1$. -
Doesn't say what needs to be scraped though.
$500 is already a stupid low number of it requires actual work. -
mt3o18767y@forkbomber assume woocommerce with 1000 products. What would be the price? Hypotheticaly, if course.
And, where do you live?

Just saw an upwork offer.
The client wants the dev to put all pages into one page.
"That sounds easy" I though...
Client : I have a scraping project for you...
Me : Yeah tell me which site you want me to scrape and what data from it?
Client : I want you to scrape data from 500 sites
Me : 500 sites...are you serious?
Client : Yeah 500 sites...can you do the job?
Me : ok...for 500 sites...the charge will be $500...
Client : Are you out of your mind? $500 for just 500 sites...I can only give you $50
