$8-15 USD / hour

I need to download many state-year Medicaid datasets, and figured it would be easiest to have someone create a Python code to scrape the site and download them automatically. The website is here: [login to view URL] I need to download State Drug Utilization Data for each state (+DC and National Total) for each year from 1991 to 2016. Each dataset should be for each state-year individually. I have a dropbox folder that is organized by year. The Python script should download each CSV and place it in the appropriate folder in dropbox. Note that I do not want to have one dataset per year (ie changing "State/View" to "Entire Dataset"). These files are too large to open in excel. I need the datasets to be state-by-year. Also note that I do not want to see the python script. I only want the final datasets saved in my dropbox account. If you do not have Dropbox, you can mimic the folder structure I created and just send me a zipped folder with all the datasets.

Web scraping expert My scripts works on windows, mac or linux, but linux is preferably. I can schedule scripts on server if it is required. I have more 150 finished projects (google scraping, facebook scraping, yellow pages, linkedinIn, amazon, webshops and other sites with lists of any items). I can scrape secured and protected sites, my crawlers can enter into login form, emulate ajax requests etc. If site block IP i can use proxy or TOR. I can try avoid captha on site in avtomatic or manual mode. I can export data into json, xml, csv (excel), or any database (mysql, mongodb, mssql, etc). I can develop web-interface for management running script (start, stop, etc), using PHP, HTML, JS.

Hello! My name is Warren Schultz, and I am a professional programmer with many years of web scraping experience using Python. I have read your project description, and I can create the Medicaid PDF downloading program you have described. To do so, I will use the libraries Requests (for web automation tools), BeautifulSoup (for parsing html), and Selenium (for working with AJAX and Javascript). I have written very similar programs in the past, and I would be happy to show examples. Please contact me so we may speak further and so I can send files. Thank you for your consideration.
