If you're that fast with python, you should be able to write it yourself pretty quickly. It's pretty a fundamental application.


Possibly, but they're only asking for $60, and I figured it would take me a while to learn the package + parse all the data from the various tables and sections (it was rather heterogeneous data across the site) + if this site happened to use anti scraping measures that could mean it takes longer. They've probably done this same thing 30 times (it was their main offering on Fiverr) and can copy and paste a previous project.

So it made time/financial sense to hire them, especially since I don't need this skill for later
