Project-1: Hacker news top articles scraper

  • In this project, I have created a python script which scrapes the data from the hacker news home page.
  • The script scrapes the data off the first 2 pages of the Hacker news home page about the best articles which have more than 100 votes.
  • The data which is scraped and later stored in a csv contains columns for ‘Title’, ‘Links’ and ‘Votes’ for the no of votes.

Libraries used

  • requests
  • BeautifulSoup4
  • pandas
  • pprint
