This application was built to scrape the latest information about Mars and display it in one location. The project is driven by a Python backend featuring a scraper built on Selenium Webdriver, BeautifulSoup, and Pandas with routing provided by Flask. The scraped data is stored in MongoDB via the Pymongo driver. The data is visualized using HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap 3.3.7.
The live app can be found here: https://mars-update-center.herokuapp.com/
The app presents a clean experience that makes scraping and review data easy.
