Dear [Hiring Manager],
I am Andrei Stalbe, an experienced web crawler expert. I have been working in this field for over 5 years now.
I am very familiar with the job you are asking for. I have done something similar before with my custom web scraping tool, and I can surely help you.
The application would be able to run locally or on a web page, and it should also include all required libraries and instructions for both options. Open source libraries are a great and accepted option.
Regarding the sorting and filtering prior to the import, I can ensure it will support:
1) Duration of events to be displayed. If there is no filter applied, the default should be by month;
2) Selecting in the UI which columns are location, which are details, and having the application identifying time and date fields;
3) Filtering by a selected location, date range, and details.
Questions for you:
1. What type of data format do you need from the website?
2. Is the website calendar updated frequently?
3. Is there any specific language or technology you would like the software to use?
Thank you for the opportunity. I would be pleased to work on this project and answer any further questions you might have.
Kind Regards,
Andrei Stalbe
