I need to put together a business directory on a town per town basis, as in one town at a time, using about 10 different categories.

I can hire someone to manually scrape data from say yellow pages or super pages existing directories and make a spreadsheet. But this could be costly.

What other options do i have?

Someone could write a software that scrapes data and i just enter the town/city and keywords and it extracts info i need into a csv file. But with this method im sure you would get negative data, in that its not appropriate, so someone would have to manually check the scraped data atleast once.

Any advice or offers welcome

I can write a script that will extract/scrap the specific data you want and save into a csv

The data will be accurate and it will scrap specifically what you want to scrap only

Kindly pm me the details of the directory and I'll try to scrape it using Python. I am currently learning Python and looking to apply my knowledge in different challenges.

If I manage to scrape it, I'll let you know and it'll be at an affordable price.
