Parser bots

We collect only openly available data, without bypassing logins or protection. Where a source has an official API or terms of use, we follow them. Anything borderline is settled before work starts.

It happens. The bot checks itself: if the source structure changes, it reports the problem instead of loading rubbish into the database. Fixing the parsing is routine maintenance.

There is no limit. Adding a new source is a small separate task that can be done whenever you need it.

I quote the price and timeline once the idea has been analysed and fix them in the specification: as long as the task stays the same, so does the price. The project is split into stages, each paid 50 % up front and 50 % on acceptance.

No. Analysing the idea is a stage in its own right, and the specification comes out of it: what the bot does, on which venue and how it behaves when something fails.

For 3 months I fix, free of charge, any bugs in the work done to the specification. If something critical fails — trading stopping or orders going wrong — I step in within 4 hours, day or night.

I do, without middlemen or subcontractors: you deal directly with the person writing the code. With some clients I have been working for 3–⁠4 years.
