Junior Web Developer (Entry Level) – Typescript / Dev Tools & Research Task
Job Description I am looking for a junior web developer at entry level who can assist with configuring a TypeScript-based news scraping tool. This job does not require heavy coding, but you must know how to work with browser developer tools and CSS selectors. Your main task is to manually configure selectors for various news websites so the scraper fetches the correct content blocks. You will open the site, inspect elements, identify the correct selectors, add them to the configuration, and run the scraping task via npm to confirm the results. What You Will Do Visit selected news websites and manually inspect the HTML structure Identify the correct selectors for titles, content blocks, timestamps, authors, etc Enter these selectors into the project config (TypeScript) Run the scraping task locally using npm and verify results Manually build a large curated list of news websites to scrape Manually research YouTube creators who post news or commentary Only include credible, active, trustable channels No dead links, fake profiles, or outdated channels This project is 100 percent manual work. AI-generated lists or selectors will not be accepted because they produce too many errors. Requirements Basic understanding of HTML, CSS selectors, and browser DevTools Able to run TypeScript projects locally (npm install, npm run, etc) Strong attention to detail Fast working speed Ability to manually verify all sources Comfortable doing online research Responsible attitude toward deadlines Important Notes This task should take only a few hours for someone with a good working pace If the task is taking much longer than expected, I may end the job early with a honest review only Please only apply if you are confident in both your speed and accuracy Your reputation may be affected if you accept the job without the required efficiency Apply tot his job
