I will do web scrape alternative data for investors and analysts
About this Gig
Late data means late decisions. If your investment research still relies on quarterly reports, you are already behind. I build alternative data pipelines that turn public web sources into decision-ready signals before the numbers go official.
My alternative data service covers pricing and inventory tracking, hiring velocity, review sentiment, and competitive intelligence across the sites your models need. Every alternative data feed is validated, timestamped, and structured so you get clean inputs, not scraped mess.
Process: I map your target sources, build a Python based scraper, validate the output, and deliver via CSV or API. You get documentation on collection methods so your team can defend the data internally.
What you get:
- Custom scraper built for your alternative data sources
- Validated, timestamped, structured datasets
- CSV, API, or dashboard delivery
- Documentation for compliance and audit review
- Ongoing refresh scheduling on request
If you need alternative data that holds up under scrutiny, message me before you order so we can scope your sources and timeline.

FAQ
What is alternative data?
Alternative data is information from non-traditional public sources, like pricing, hiring, or sentiment signals, that offers earlier insight into a company before it shows up in official reports.
What sources can you scrape for alternative data?
I scrape e-commerce pricing and inventory, job boards for hiring trends, review sites for sentiment, and public financial or company sites, depending on your alternative data needs.
Is your web scraping process legal and compliant?
Yes. I collect only publicly available data, respect site terms where possible, avoid personally identifiable information, and document collection methods for your compliance review.
What format do I receive the data extraction in?
You choose CSV, API, or a simple dashboard. Every alternative data delivery includes column definitions and a short methodology note.
How do you validate the accuracy of scraped data?
I run automated checks for duplicates, missing fields, and outliers, then spot-check a sample against the source so your alternative data feed is reliable.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes, message me with your target sources and I will share a small sample dataset so you can evaluate quality before committing to a full alternative data build.
Can you set up recurring data refreshes?
Yes. Once your initial alternative data pipeline is built, I can schedule daily, weekly, or monthly refreshes so your financial data stays current without repeat orders.
What do you need from me to get started?
Send me the specific websites or sources you want tracked, the fields you need, and your preferred delivery format. I will confirm scope before starting your alternative data project.
