This is repository for learning to scrapping web data from Wikipedia.
The reason I created this project: As the first step, I want to scrape data and handle them myself. So I choosed Wikipedia, with the support from BeautifulSoup library (Python). I also use Streamlit library to build a tiny app.
I know it seems complex doing web scraping manually while Wiki has bunch of convenient APIs for this, but I want to start simply and stupidly 😁.
You can try it by clone the repo, install necessary dependencies with pip (I provided the requirements.txt, you're very welcome). Or use can use the virtual environment that I included (More about this here).
Run the app by use command:
streamlit run my_app.pyThen, head to your http://localhost:8501 and check the app.
Have a nice day!
