Site-specific extraction and crawling
Challenge :
The client needed data about restaurants in the most significant metropolitan areas in the USA, providing a specific price range. The details to be incorporated into the structured menu included cuisine and demographic data.
They required easy access to complete restaurant location data from particular categories, food menus, and pricing.
It was challenging to constitute data while importing restaurant data for their business. They required precise data in the required format. As a result, they can easily upload it to the internal database to run a comparison engine and perform several monitoring activities.
The customer provided us with a list of resources to be scraped, required data points, and data extraction frequency for everyday jobs.
The team X-Byte has set restaurant location scraping APIs for fetching the necessary location data from a particular source website.
The client wanted scraped data in the CSV format and uploaded it to the S3 servers. The early setup was complete within a few days, and the crawlers began delivering the necessary data instantly.
