🔹 Waze Incident Alerts Scraper
👤 Client: 🇳🇱 Drunen, Netherlands Member since 2018-02-27
💰 Price: $41 Average bid
🚩 Problem: Pull incident alerts from Waze georss feed every 20 seconds to ensure near-real-time analytics.
📦 Existing: Not specified

Specifications:

[Target] GeorSS file from [login to view URL]
[Method] Python with requests + BeautifulSoup for initial implementation, switching to Playwright if needed for stability
[UI/UX] N/A (Script-based)
[Stack] Python, requests, BeautifulSoup, Playwright, JSON
[Security] No specific security requirements mentioned
[Format] JSON

Workflow:

1. Set up a virtual environment and install required dependencies: python3 -m venv env; source env/bin/activate; pip install requests beautifulsoup4 playwright
2. Write the scraper script to fetch georss data every 20 seconds using Playwright for stability, with fallback to BeautifulSoup if necessary.
3. Ensure no duplicate alerts within a single run cycle by checking timestamps or unique identifiers in JSON output.
4. Implement logging and error handling to ensure the script runs unattended on Windows 10 without crashing or memory bloat.
5. Generate sample JSON file with structure: {"incidents": [{"timestamp": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS", "incident": {...}}], "collection_time": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS"}
