I am looking for an experienced Web Scraping and Automation Developer to build an automated daily workflow for my business. I respond to over 100 government tenders a year and need to automate the discovery and document retrieval process. The Goal: Scrape 9 Australian Government tender websites daily for newly published tenders in two specific categories (UNSPSC 43000000 - IT, and 81000000 - Engineering/Research). Extract key details (Title, Agency, Closing Date, URL) and insert them into a centralized Google Sheet. Automatically download the associated Tender Documents and save them into uniquely named folders in my Google Drive. Periodically monitor these specific tenders for any newly published Addendums, and automatically download them to the respective Google Drive folder. The Websites: Federal (AusTender) New South Wales (BuyNSW) Victoria (Tenders VIC) Queensland (QTenders) South Australia (SA Tenders) Northern Territory (NT Tenders) Australian Capital Territory (ACT Tenders) Tasmania (Tas Tenders) Western Australia (Tenders WA) Technical Requirements & Challenges You Must Handle: Anti-Scraping: Many of these sites (like AusTender and BuyNSW) sit behind Cloudflare or similar bot-protection. You must know how to handle this (e.g., using headless browsers like Playwright/Puppeteer or proxies). Authentication: Downloading documents and addendums on these platforms requires a logged-in user session. The script must be able to securely handle my login credentials to access and download the files. Google Workspace API: You must seamlessly integrate the outputs via the Google Drive and Google Sheets APIs. Please reply with your proposed tech stack (e.g., Python, Scrapy, Playwright, [login to view URL], etc.), how you plan to handle the bot-protections/logins, and your estimated timeline/budget.

Hi, This is Elias from Miami. I checked your project description and understand you’re looking to automate the daily scraping of government tenders. The goal is to streamline this process so you can easily access the latest opportunities without manual effort. I’ve worked on several similar web scraping projects and understand the key technical challenges involved. My approach would involve using efficient scraping frameworks like Scrapy to ensure reliable data extraction, combined with automation tools to schedule daily updates. I have a few questions to get a better understanding: Q1 – What specific government websites do you want to scrape for tenders? Q2 – Are there any particular data points you want to focus on for each tender? Q3 – How do you plan to use the scraped data (e.g., in Google Sheets, a database, etc.)? I’d be happy to go through the details and suggest the best technical approach. Looking forward to hearing from you.

This looks like a great fit, I will build a Python-based daily scraper covering all 9 Australian government tender portals — extracting tender details into Google Sheets, downloading documents to named Google Drive folders, and monitoring for addendums automatically. For sites like AusTender and BuyNSW that sit behind Cloudflare, I will use Playwright with persistent browser contexts and session rotation to maintain authenticated sessions reliably. Credentials will be stored in environment variables — never hardcoded. Each portal will get its own scraper module since their structures differ significantly, with a shared pipeline for Google Workspace API output. Questions: 1) Are your accounts already created on all 9 portals, or do some still need registration? Looking forward to talking through the details. Kamran

Hello! We would design a daily pipeline that monitors tender websites for new listings in the required UNSPSC categories, extract key fields and keep everything synchronized in your Google Workspace. Our proposed stack is Python for headless browser automation to reliably handle Cloudflare-style protections and authenticated sessions. Credentials are stored securely and the bot maintains logged-in states to access and download tender documents and any future addendums. The pipeline then pushes structured data into Google Sheets and creates uniquely named folders in Google Drive via the Google APIs, placing all original documents in their respective locations. A scheduled job runs daily and also re-checks tracked tenders for updates. We will also include logging, error reporting and easy configuration so categories or portals can be adjusted later without rewriting the system. Happy to discuss timeline and budget based on your preferred hosting setup. Please, review our profile https://www.freelancer.com/u/tangramua where you can find detailed information about our company, our portfolio, and the client's recent reviews.

Hi, I have strong experience in Python, Playwright, Scrapy, Google Sheets API, Google Drive API, and automation workflows for secure document retrieval, structured data extraction, and daily monitoring tasks. I would build a reliable scraper pipeline that checks all 9 tender portals each day, handles login sessions and bot-protected pages carefully, saves matched tenders into Google Sheets, and downloads tender files and addendums into organized Google Drive folders so the whole process runs with minimal manual work. I also have real hands-on experience with headless browser automation, authenticated scraping flows, anti-bot workarounds, proxy-supported collection, and API-based integrations, which is important for platforms like AusTender and BuyNSW where simple scraping scripts usually fail. You can expect clear communication, fast turnaround, and a high-quality result that fits seamlessly into your existing workflow. Best regards, Juan

I can automate your full tender pipeline so new opportunities and documents land in Google Sheets and Drive daily without manual effort. I understand you need scraping across 9 gov platforms filtered by UNSPSC 43000000 and 81000000, plus auto download of documents and continuous addendum tracking. I’ll build this using Python with Playwright for Cloudflare protected sites, secure session handling for logins, and Google APIs for Sheets and Drive integration. I recently built a similar system where protected portals were scraped with authenticated sessions and files were auto organized in Drive with structured logs. My approach includes rotating headers or proxies, persistent sessions, scheduled cron jobs, and change detection logic for new addendums. You’ll get a fully automated workflow, structured data sheet, organized folders, and reliable daily execution. Do you want this hosted on a VPS with scheduled runs or integrated into a cloud platform like GCP for scalability and monitoring?

I can build a daily automated scraper using Python with Playwright to handle Cloudflare bot protection and logins securely. Playwright’s headless browser approach is strong for these protected sites, letting us simulate real user behavior to avoid blocks. I will write scripts that check all nine tender portals, filter new tenders by your UNSPSC codes, extract the required info, and update your Google Sheet via the API. For downloading documents and addendums, I’ll manage sessions securely, maintaining login states to access files and save them into uniquely named Google Drive folders using the Drive API. To keep everything robust, I’ll set up scheduled runs with error handling and notifications for any failures or site changes. Are you currently using any cloud platform for automation (like AWS or a VPS) to run daily jobs? Also, do you prefer all data synced in near real-time or batch updates once per day? A first stable version covering all sites and document handling should take about 2–3 weeks. I’m ready to start setting this up and get you hands-free access to all relevant tender information every day.

Hi, This is a great use case for automation, and I’ve built similar tender/data monitoring pipelines with secure document handling and Google Workspace integration. Proposed stack: Python + Playwright (for dynamic sites & Cloudflare handling) Lightweight scraping layer (BeautifulSoup / lxml) Google Sheets & Drive APIs for structured output + storage Scheduler via cron or cloud (GCP / AWS Lambda) Approach: Each site will have a dedicated scraper using Playwright to mimic real user behavior and bypass bot protections. Logged-in sessions will be handled securely using encrypted credentials and persistent session storage. New tenders will be filtered by UNSPSC categories, then pushed to Google Sheets with clean structure. Documents and addendums will be auto-downloaded and organized into uniquely named Drive folders per tender. A daily + periodic re-check system will monitor updates and append new files.
