University Web Scraper

Built using Python and Beautiful Soup. Parses University academic sites and compiles papers, articles, and other academic material into a .csv file.

Creating Virtual Environment

I've used Visual Studio to create my virtual environment:

  1. Open the solution.
  2. Right click on 'Python Environments'.
  3. Click 'Add Environment'.
  4. Make sure the new environment name is 'venv'.
  5. Create a new virtual environment based on requirements.txt.

This can also be done via the command line, however, I had some trouble integrating the environment with Visual Studio when creating it this way. If you're not using Visual Studio then this method will work.

cd UniversityWebScraper
python -m venv ./venv
"venv/Scripts/activate"
pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Program

An executable file has been included for ease of use. Open a command prompt and cd to the root of the cloned/downloaded repository. Then run this command to get a list of command line arguments:

PyUniScraper --help

You can use this executable to get .csv files that contain academic material information for your chosen university.
