A script that scrapes devpost for a list of hackathons and puts them in a nice JSON
- python3
- mechanicalsoup
- flask
Resolving the dependencies:
python3 : I'm not gonna tell you how to do this, you should know
You may need to run these commands as root (you almost certainly need to.)
mechanical soup : $ pip install mechanicalsoup
flask : $ pip install flask
put scraper.py into the folder with your other code and import it
OR run app.sh and then go to 127.0.0.1:5000/api and it'll be some nice JSON data for you.
