My real-estate site needs fresher property information; at the moment the listings lag behind the market by several days. I already have access to external APIs that supply all the fields I need—address, photos, price, status, and agent ID—but I haven’t wired them into the site’s back-end yet. What I need from you is a lightweight integration that pulls new and modified listings every week, merges them with the existing database, and retires anything that is no longer active. A simple cron job or scheduled task that calls the API, parses the JSON, and updates the MySQL tables will do the trick. Error handling and basic logging are essential so I can track any failed calls or malformed records without digging through the server logs. Deliverables • Clean, well-documented code that connects to the external API, authenticates, and fetches weekly property listings • A database update routine that inserts, updates, or archives listings as required • A scheduling mechanism (cron, CloudWatch, or similar) that runs automatically once a week • Brief setup notes so I can redeploy the script on staging or production If you prefer PHP, Python, or Node, that’s fine as long as it remains easy for me to maintain. I’ll grant API credentials and a staging database as soon as we start. Looking forward to keeping my listings current without manual effort.
