Web scraping — data collection and custom scraper development
Competitor prices, a supplier's catalog, open registry records — if you still copy them by hand, web scraping gathers them into a spreadsheet automatically. Say what to collect and where from, and specialists will send you responses. Or pick a scraper developer by services, portfolio and reviews.
Scraper developers
How much website scraping costs
What affects the price
Number of sources and fields
Collecting the name and price from one site is simpler than dozens of attributes from several sites where every page is built differently.
One-off or scheduled
A one-off export is a single run, while daily monitoring needs a server, a schedule and oversight so the data keeps arriving without gaps.
How the site shows its data
Simple pages are easy to read. If content is loaded by scripts, appears only after scrolling or is spread across filters, there is more work.
Cleaning and output format
Raw data often needs cleaning: removing duplicates, bringing prices and units to one format, matching products to your catalog.
Hosting and fixes
Hosting for a scraper that runs on a schedule, and fixes when the source site changes its layout, are usually paid separately from development.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a web scraping specialist
- 1
A sample run
Ask to see a similar scraper from the portfolio or to collect data from a few pages: you will see whether every field is there before it runs on the whole site.
- 2
Whether there is official access
Ask whether the source provides an API, a feed or an export file: such a channel comes from the site owner itself and is more stable than scraping pages.
- 3
Site rules and personal data
Check what the source site's rules allow and whether people's names, phone numbers or email addresses will end up in the data. Bypassing protection or logging into someone else's account is a reason to stop.
- 4
When the site changes
Sites update their layout, and the scraper stops working. Agree on who will fix it, how soon, and whether that is included in the cost.
- 5
The scraper's code and a guide
The scraper's code, the server and the collected files should be on your accounts, not only the specialist's. Ask for a short guide on how to run it.
What to put in the order
Which sites or sections to take data from — or an example of the page you need
Which fields to collect: name, price, stock, attributes, links
One-off or regular — and how often the data should be updated
Approximate volume: how many pages, products or records
Output format: Excel, CSV, Google Sheets or upload to your website
Payment and the date you need the first data by
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
