The task is to create a tool (GUI) using any of the following languages or their combination – Excel/VBA/R/Python/Java/Xml – that would scrape gas and electricity tariff prices from the sites like [login to view URL], [login to view URL] or GoCompare.com. Focus on [login to view URL] for now, however the tool should be able to handle the other above-mentioned websites in the future too. In the UK there are 14 distribution areas, approximately 80 suppliers and each supplier can have more than one tariff for gas, power or both (the latter is called “dual fuel” tariff). The task is to scrape data for all suppliers for all available products and for all distribution areas using the inputs provided. Since the inputs can change overtime, it is essential that the tool has a feature where inputs can be defined by a user each time before the scraping algorithm is run. To switch from one distribution area to another, use 14 postcodes, one in each area. The tool should have an input field where a user can change the postcodes down the line. All inputs described below must be user-defined inputs. Model inputs: 1. post_code (by distribution area): 1.1. East England NR1 1BD 1.2. East Midlands NG1 1JU 1.3. London SW10 9NH 1.4. North Wales / Cheshire CH1 1LE 1.5. West Midlands B1 1LR 1.6. North East England NE1 1UE 1.7. North West England LA1 1AE 1.8. North Scotland IV1 1DG 1.9. South Scotland EH1 1BS [login to view URL] East England BN1 1AN [login to view URL] England SO14 0AP [login to view URL] Wales CF10 1EB [login to view URL] West England PL1 2BA [login to view URL] YO1 6DW 2. gas_annual_usage_kwh 3. electricity_annual_usage_kwh 4. input_supplier 5. input_tariff 6. bill_paid_by (by bill payment type): 6.1. Monthly direct debit 6.2. On receipt of bill 6.3. Prepayment meter The spreadsheet attached shows which data should be extracted alongside the inputs coming in, and gives a brief example. The tool should generate an output file in .csv or .xlsx formats and should match the layout provided. When applying, please state how much time it will take you to complete the task and your budget.
