PART 2 — IAAI PARSER + DATABASE (Backend infrastructure)
🎯 Goal
Develop an automated parsing system for the IAAI auto auction that will save data into a centralized relational PostgreSQL database and provide an API for the catalog website.
🧱 Architecture
Language and framework: Python 3.10+, Django Rest Framework
Parsing: Selenium + Undetected ChromeDriver, Requests, BeautifulSoup
Background tasks: Celery + Redis
Data storage: PostgreSQL
Dockerization: optional (Docker + docker-compose)
Logging: JSON logs + error reports
Authorization: if necessary (at auctions)
Proxies: mandatory
Anti-captcha: support for 2Captcha or an equivalent
📥 Data to be collected
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Make and model | For example: "Toyota Camry" |
| Year of manufacture | 2019, 2020, etc. |
| Mileage | In miles or kilometers |
| Sale price | In dollars or AED |
| VIN | Unique vehicle identifier |
| Condition | Damaged / intact / damages |
| Location | Country / city / warehouse |
| Fuel | Gasoline / diesel / electric, etc. |
| Transmission | Automatic / manual |
| Sale date | Source-dependent |
| Photos (5+) | Image links |
| Link to lot | Direct link to source |
📌 System requirements
Scheduled operation (cron/Celery Beat)
Multithreading and scalability
Ability to rerun tasks (e.g.,
manage.py parse --source copart)API endpoints:
/api/cars/— list/api/cars/<vin>/— cardFiltering: make, model, year, mileage, fuel type, etc.
API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI)
🔧 Additional requirements
Documented database structure
Ability to extend to new auctions
Manual task launching capability
Protection against duplicates (VIN + sale date)
Failure notifications (optional — Telegram, email)
💾 Expected result
✔ Working parser
✔ Data is saved daily into PostgreSQL
✔ API endpoints with filtering
✔ Documentation and launch instructions

I have reviewed your technical assignment for developing a parser for the IAAI auto auction and building an API on Django REST Framework. The task is well thought out, and I am ready to implement it fully in accordance with the requirements.
What I will do:
- Parser using Selenium, Requests, and BeautifulSoup to collect all necessary data from the auto auction.
- Organize background tasks via Celery + Redis with scheduling support (Celery Beat).
- Store data in PostgreSQL with duplicate protection (VIN + sale date).
- REST API with filtering by main parameters, Swagger/OpenAPI documentation.
… - Support for proxies and anti-captcha (2Captcha or similar).
- Ability to extend to other auctions and manually run tasks.
- Logging in JSON format and failure notifications (Telegram/email optional).
- Optional Dockerization (Docker + docker-compose).
Technologies: Python 3.10+, Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, Celery, Redis, Selenium.
Timeline and budget:
Approximately 3–4 weeks for the full development cycle with testing. Cost is negotiable depending on details and volume.
I am ready to discuss details, provide a work plan, and outline stages.
