ScrapeIt 💣

This is basically a webscraper that is capable of scraping a mobile websites for all details about mobile phones listed on their website.
The code has 3 parts :

• script
• spider
• convert

Script file 🚀

This is the main file that processes the list of phones and get their respective links. As the site is dymanic, the script checks if a specific row number is loaded, if not it then it waits untillt the row number is loaded and then it scrapes the page for all links that lead to the phones specification page. Finally saves the data as a json file.

Spider 🕷️

This uses the saved json file. It is of the format phone_name:phone_relative_link. The spider uses this data to crawl into the various websites and saves the data as a dictionary. Finally, the dicts of all the phones is made into a list and saved it into a file

Convert 📂

This converts the saved file into a csv so that it can be used with more ease

Note the URL used is a public website, but is saved as a variable in the secret.py file

How to use: ☁️

1. Run script.py
2. Run spider.py
3. Run convert.py
