A common way to gather data off the web is to scrape it! In this project, use beautifulsoup to grab some daycare data off the toronto.ca website.
https://www.toronto.ca/data/children/dmc/a2z/a2za.html - a comprehensive list of licensed day cares in Toronto.
-
Use some of new found web scraping and data analysis skills to help narrow down search for daycare services in Toronto.
-
Use the python packages “requests” and “BeautifulSoup” in order to scrape the above URL to get the daycare name and address. Save the results into a pandas dataframe and save it as results.csv for later use.
-
Pandas data frame should consist of the following information:
- Name of Daycare
- Address of Daycare
- Daycare centre contact information
