In this project, we will be reviewing an application for automating web scraping of newest health advice from the World Health Organization from the Worldometers website and visualize data concerning COVID-19 by depoying a dashboard.

Link to the application deployed in Heroku : @covid-dashboard : https://ettabaa-hajar-covid.herokuapp.com/

We have 3 main files :

1. get_data.py : scraping data using Selenium.
2. dashboard.py : visualising figures of the dashboard.
3. index.html : HTML code of the dashboard

This project was built using :

• Python
• Selenium
• Plotly
• Flask

You can clone this public repository by entering the following command into terminal :

git clone https://github.com/hetta-14/dashboard-scraping-coronavirus/

Once you've download the code you should install needed libs by typing the command :

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

All the libraries with their specified versions can be found in this file.

We will recover the data scraped from the site https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ by entering the following command :

python get_data.py

Selenium launches and controls the web browser. The webdriver "chromedriver.exe" manages the browser by Selenium.

Note :

• Before scraping, read the website terms and conditions at robots.txt to understand how you can legally use the data. Most of sites prohibit you from using the data for commercial purposes.
• Be sure not to download the data too quickly, as this may damage the website. You could also be blocked from the site.

Using Plotly, we are going to plot and visualize the figures from the scraped data with the following command :

python dashboard.py

The following figures represent a snippet of the dashboard visualizations :
