I need a clean, well-structured extract of permit holder information from the WA State Labor & Industry online permit lookup (sometimes called the Permit Center). Whether you can do a fully automated scrape or need to do a manual pull is up to you—the key is accuracy and complete coverage. Scope • Visit the WA State L&I electrical permit lookup site and capture every record that appears in the public search results that: - Is for a generator or automatic transfer switch installation. - For the license numbers that will be given to you - for the timeframe given (5-6 years back). • Extract only the permit holder–related fields (name, address, and any other holder-specific details that the site exposes). • Return the data in a single CSV or Excel file, encoded in UTF-8, with consistent headers and no duplicates. The file needs to be able to be used in a mail merge or address label capability. Acceptance The file must open without errors and pull all relevant permits. Please include a brief note on your chosen approach, the approximate turnaround time, and, if you automate, the language or toolset you’ll use (Python + BeautifulSoup, Selenium, etc.). Samples of the data files are attached

Good day! Here’s how we can help: * Extract a complete, accurate list of permit holder records from the WA State L&I permit lookup for generator and automatic transfer switch installations * Filter strictly by the license numbers you provide and the specified 5–6 year timeframe * Capture only permit holder–specific fields (name, address, and exposed holder details) with consistent headers and no duplicates * Deliver a clean, UTF-8 encoded CSV or Excel file ready for mail merge or address labels We are a team of 62 professionals with over 9 years of experience in structured data extraction from public portals, including government and regulatory systems. We focus on completeness, validation, and clean outputs rather than bulk or unreliable pulls. To align on execution: will the permit lookup require CAPTCHA handling or session-based navigation, and do you prefer a fully automated approach (e.g., Python with Selenium) or a controlled manual-assisted extraction for maximum accuracy? Once confirmed, we can estimate turnaround precisely and start immediately.

Hello, I hope you're doing well . From your description, you need a clean, complete extract of permit holder data from the WA State L&I online permit lookup, filtered for generator or automatic transfer switch installations, specific license numbers, and a 5–6 year timeframe. What’s missing is a reliable, error-free process to collect all relevant public records and structure them for downstream use in mail merges or address labels. The solution would involve either a Python-based automation using requests and BeautifulSoup for static pages, or Selenium for pages with dynamic content, to iterate through all search results, extract permit holder fields (name, address, and other holder-specific details), and normalize the data. Deduplication and consistent UTF-8 encoding will be applied. Alternatively, if automation is blocked or unstable, a careful manual extraction following the same filters will ensure accuracy. All results will be compiled into a single CSV or Excel file with clean headers and no duplicates. You will receive a fully verified, UTF-8 encoded CSV/Excel containing all relevant permit holder records for the given licenses and timeframe, ready for mail merge or label printing, along with a brief note on the method used and validation checks. Looking forward to work with you for your project. Thank you !
