Case Study: Construction Project Data Scraping from CIS India
The Challenge
Our client, a construction analytics and materials supply company, wanted to extract detailed project and contractor data from CIS India. The goal was to track upcoming and ongoing infrastructure projects, identify potential clients, and analyze industry trends. Manual collection from the portal was tedious and failed to capture frequent project updates.
Hurdles We Faced
- Authentication Required: CIS India restricted access to project details behind a login system.
- Dynamic Content Loading: Project details were loaded through AJAX requests and paginated API calls.
- Complex Data Relationships: Each project included multiple stakeholders—contractors, consultants, and developers.
- Frequent Updates: New tenders and progress statuses were added daily.
Our Step-by-Step Approach
Requirement Analysis:
Defined essential fields—project name, location, type, value, stage, start/end dates, and associated companies.
Login & Session Automation:
Developed a custom login module to securely access and maintain session stability during scraping.
API & Data Flow Mapping:
Analyzed internal API endpoints to extract structured project data efficiently.
Proxy & Request Handling:
Used rotating proxies and rate-limited requests to avoid IP blocks and ensure continuity.
Data Cleaning & Structuring:
Transformed raw data into a standardized database format, linking projects with stakeholders for easy analytics.
Automation & Scheduling:
Configured automated scripts to refresh project listings regularly, keeping the dataset always up to date.
Results & Impact
- Extracted thousands of construction and infrastructure projects across India.
- Enabled the client to identify leads, track industry trends, and target relevant contractors.
- Reduced manual research time and ensured real-time access to construction intelligence.
