Web Scraping & Words Masking

python-bs4-web-scraping

Overview

This project involves web scraping multiple websites using BeautifulSoup (bs4) to extract the most common words and their frequencies. The collected data is then processed, translated using Deepl, and analyzed to find common words among different websites. The results are presented in various CSV files, providing insights into word frequency and commonalities across different web pages.

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/KeremDUZENLI/python-bs4-web-scraping.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd python-bs4-web-scraping

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install requests
   pip install beautifulsoup4
   pip install nltk
   python -m nltk.downloader all
   pip install --upgrade deepl

4. Set up your environment variables:

   Create a .env file with the following content:

   DEEPL_KEY=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx:xx
   

   Replace xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx:xx with your Deepl API key.

Usage

1. Run the main script to scrape websites, process data, and generate CSV files:

   python main.py

   This will execute the entire pipeline, including web scraping, translation, and common word analysis.

2. Explore the generated CSV files in the csv directory for detailed information on word frequency and commonalities.
