Job Desc:

I'm looking for someone who can create a simple web scraping utility application that I can launch and execute from my desktop.

For starters, I need a few features:

1. A simple Win PC standalone utility app where I can upload an Excel sheet with a large amount of data (several million website URLs) to be processed. Simple UI, nothing fancy.

2. Crawl each domain and accurately categorize whether the website is a content site (eg engadget.com) or a SaaS tool (eg canva.com). The labeling can be somewhat subjective, so I'm not entirely sure which parameters or determining factors would make the most sense here (will need your expertise).

3. Recognize if the website is in English or some other language.

4. Output results in a form of another Excel sheet.

To Apply:

When applying, please start your proposal's first line with the phrase "Pink Panther."

If you think you can put something together relatively quickly that does the job (especially point #2), I'd love to connect and get started asap!
