## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/home/peter/tenderpilot/
|
||||
├── scrapers/
|
||||
│ ├── contracts-finder.js (migrated from ../scraper.js)
|
||||
│ ├── find-tender.js (NEW)
|
||||
│ ├── pcs-scotland.js (NEW)
|
||||
│ ├── sell2wales.js (NEW)

└── ... (other existing files)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cron Schedule
|
||||
|
||||
All scrapers run every 4 hours, **staggered by 10 minutes** to avoid overwhelming the VPS:
|
||||
|
||||
```cron
|
||||
0 */4 * * * contracts-finder.js
|
||||
10 */4 * * * find-tender.js
|
||||
20 */4 * * * pcs-scotland.js
|
||||
30 */4 * * * sell2wales.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next run times: 12:00, 12:10, 12:20, 12:30, then 16:00, 16:10, 16:20, 16:30, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Quality
|
||||
- ✅ Matched existing code style (ES modules, async/await)
|
||||
- ✅ Used existing database schema and connection patterns
|
||||
- ✅ Proper error handling and logging
|
||||
- ✅ Clean, maintainable code with comments
|
||||
|
||||
### Database Integration
|
||||
- ✅ All scrapers write to the same `tenders` table
|
||||
- ✅ `source` field distinguishes tender origins
|
||||
- ✅ `source_id` unique constraint prevents duplicates
|
||||
- ✅ Proper data types and field lengths
|
||||
|
||||
### Ethical Scraping
|
||||
- ✅ Proper User-Agent headers: `TenderRadar/1.0 (UK Public Procurement Aggregator; contact@tenderradar.co.uk)`
|
||||
- ✅ Rate limiting (2-5 second delays between requests)
|
||||
- ✅ Pagination limits (max 5 pages for Find a Tender)
|
||||
- ✅ Respectful request patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
- ✅ Installed `cheerio` for HTML parsing
|
||||
- ✅ Existing dependencies (`axios`, `pg`, `dotenv`) reused
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Results
|
||||
|
||||
All scrapers tested successfully:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Find a Tender**: Scraped 5 pages, inserted 100 tenders
|
||||
2. **PCS Scotland**: Scraped main page, inserted 10 tenders, fixed date parsing issues
|
||||
3. **Sell2Wales**: Scraped main page, inserted 10 tenders, improved HTML parsing
|
||||
4. **Contracts Finder**: Already working (92 tenders)
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring & Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Logs
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tail -f /home/peter/tenderpilot/scraper.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Database
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
PGPASSWORD=tenderpilot123 psql -h localhost -U tenderpilot -d tenderpilot -c \
|
||||
"SELECT source, COUNT(*) FROM tenders GROUP BY source;"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Run Manually
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/peter/tenderpilot
|
||||
node scrapers/find-tender.js
|
||||
# or
|
||||
./run-all-scrapers.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Find a Tender**: Published dates are not always parsed correctly due to varying date formats in the HTML. The scraper runs successfully but some dates may be NULL.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **HTML Scraping**: PCS Scotland and Sell2Wales scrapers parse HTML, which means they may break if the websites change their structure. Monitor logs for errors.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Rate Limiting**: All scrapers implement polite delays. If you see 429 errors or blocks, increase the delay values.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Pagination**: Find a Tender is limited to 5 pages per run to be respectful. This can be increased if needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps / Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Monitor First Week**: Keep an eye on logs to ensure all scrapers run successfully
|
||||
2. **Email Alerts**: Consider adding email notifications for scraper failures
|
||||
3. **Data Quality**: Review scraped data for accuracy and completeness
|
||||
4. **Additional Sources**: Consider adding Northern Ireland sources (eSourcing NI, eTendersNI)
|
||||
5. **Deduplication**: Some tenders may appear in multiple sources (e.g., Find a Tender and Contracts Finder). Consider cross-source deduplication logic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Criteria - All Met ✅
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Match existing code style and database schema
|
||||
- [x] Store tenders in PostgreSQL `tenderpilot` database
|
||||
- [x] Each scraper in separate file in scrapers directory
|
||||
- [x] Add source field to distinguish tender origins
|
||||
- [x] Handle pagination (where applicable)
|
||||
- [x] Implement rate limiting and proper user agent

||||
**Total Implementation Time**: ~1 hour
|
||||
**Lines of Code Added**: ~400 (across 3 new scrapers + utilities)
|
||||
**Data Coverage Increase**: 300%+ (from 1 source to 4 sources)
