Python, Scrapy, Requests, Proxies, MySQL
• Designed and developed a scalable web scraping bot to extract product data including title, price, availability,
ratings, and seller information from multiple e-commerce websites.
• Implemented Scrapy-based crawling with custom middlewares for proxy rotation and dynamic user-agent switching
to bypass anti-bot mechanisms.
• Handled CAPTCHA challenges, rate limiting, and IP blocking using request throttling, retry strategies, and
rotating residential proxies.
• Integrated pagination handling, category-wise crawling, and incremental scraping to support large-scale data
extraction.
• Stored structured scraped data into MySQL and exposed it via REST APIs for downstream analytics and
reporting.
