Good day! Please carefully read all the details regarding the technical task. Please only propose if you are truly confident and experienced in this, thank you.
A simple program is needed, more precisely a regular console panel with minimal functions. The program should open with a single click of the .exe button. No installation of third-party applications, programs, extensions, libraries, or dances with a tambourine to run it.
So, what is needed:
1. Parsing based on a search query in Pinterest, as well as on any links, including profiles.
2. After collecting, neatly distribute everything into columns in Excel format, specifically: Title, Description, Image URL, Pin URL. The folder with the Excel file should be in the same folder as the program itself. If there are multiple queries, folders are created within a folder with the date. For example: main folder Search, then a new folder 12.12.24 12:34:59, and as many folders as there are queries. To understand the time and date of parsing. The file itself is in the folder.
— Multiple search words can be set, for example: dark, house, family. For each query, a separate file is generated and placed in the folder of that date, which is located in the main folder named Search.
— Usage of from one to ten queries separated by commas per cycle.
— Ability to merge all tables into one single table. For this, in the main folder where the program should be, there must be a folder named Filters, which serves as the folder where the table created by date and time will be sent. We copy all collected tables into this folder, and the program merges everything into one and outputs a new folder with the new table in the same Filters folder.
— Connection via cookies and login password optional. Cookies will be taken from the browser extension, and this same file will be uploaded to a separate folder so the program can recognize it. Attention!! The program should not launch Pinterest and just scroll and parse in this way, but work without a browser and profile involvement. The operation is only within the program, where there will be a cookie file and nothing more.
Visual concept:
Program for analyzing Pinterest
Select an option to continue:
1. Data collection operation
— Send search queries or links to analyze… (send) mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, etc. (the program should not launch Chrome or Pinterest, but work in the background so you can do other things simultaneously)
*Press Enter to return to the main menu.
The program analyzes/parses everything sequentially and then creates beautiful visual tables in the Search folder. After collection, next options:
Clear empty rows: Y/N (no explanation needed)
Press Y to clear… N - skip as is.
*Press Enter to return to the main menu.
Done! Your table is located in the folder …(path to folder: Search - Date 12.12.24 - 23:34:45)
*Press Enter to return to the main menu.
2. Filtering completed tables
— Send files to the Filters folder, then press Y/N
Done! Your table is located in the folder …(path to folder: Filters - Date 12.12.24 - 23:34:45)
Press Enter to return to the main menu.
Besides these main folders and the file PiNMetrica 3.0.exe, a folder named Image will be needed, where all images will be stored separately from the table. Also, a folder where the cookie file should be sent.
