If the client is a small co, do it in Golang and store scraped data in Blockchain to get right keywords in your portfolio.
I would use Python as the programming language.
I would host it in AWS.
I would use a Blockchain ledger database.
I would use Cyber Security to ensure the data is safe.
I would analyse the data using Data Science techniques
I would provide a UI/App using Mobile Development
I would provide IT Support
etc
