Python Scripts, Chrome Extensions & IoT Development
Some of the most useful tools are built for one specific task. We create scripts, extensions and connected experiences to solve those needs.
Purpose-built tools for the way you work.
We build Python scripts, custom scrapers, Chrome extensions and Raspberry Pi applications around a concrete task. That may mean processing data, connecting APIs, simplifying browser work or running a display on a connected device. Data sources, permissions, runtime and maintenance requirements are established before implementation.

Browser extensions
Chrome extensions that add useful functionality to the browser or support a workflow your team uses every day.
Raspberry Pi and IoT
Purpose-built software for Raspberry Pi and connected-device projects, including interfaces and integrations.
A clear scope from the start
What the work can include.
- A defined input/output contract, run conditions and acceptance sample.
- The agreed script, extension or device software with configuration instructions.
- Checks for missing inputs, repeat runs and failures, plus installation and maintenance guidance.
Final deliverables depend on the requirements we agree together.
Make the first conversation useful
What to send us.
- A sample input and the output or device behavior you need.
- Authorized data sources, supported browsers or hardware specifications.
- Run frequency, operating environment and what should happen when a dependency is unavailable.

A few useful answers
Before we
get started.
What do you need to scope a Python script or scraper?
We need the input source, desired output, run frequency and the environment where it will run. For data collection, we also review access requirements, source permissions, rate limits and the expected handling of changes or failures.
How do you price this work?
We review the requirements and existing setup, then agree on a scope, deliverables and pricing. Third-party subscriptions, infrastructure and ongoing maintenance are identified separately where applicable.
What happens at handover?
Handover covers the agreed source files, setup or deployment guidance and the results of relevant workflow checks. Any ongoing support or maintenance is agreed as part of the project scope.

A useful scraper starts with the data you actually need.
Plan a Python web scraping project: source access, output fields, APIs, rate limits, scheduling, validation and the handover your team needs.
