MPA COVID-19 Hackathon. This webscraper pulls information from large retail sites. Currently Sam's Club and Walmart. The website is accessible locally. Here are instructions on how to do it:
- First, install all the dependencies below. You'll need all of them for the application to work.
- Choose a location to cd into. C:\Users\user\Documents\ is where I placed mine. Clone the repo into there.
- cd into Hackathon_WebScraper --> flask_website. At this point, you should see all our files such as __init__.py, samsclub_scraper, walmart_scraper, etc.
- While inside the Hackathon_WebScraper/flask_website directory, you can type in your command prompt 'python __init__.py' (no quotes) and this will run the website. If you're having trouble, try python3 and make sure all dependencies are installed.
- That should be it :) You'll be able to use and navigate our site. I hope you enjoy it! Please refer to our video if you have troubles.
