This simple project scrapes publicly available information about Goldwater scholars from the official website.
In building the Goldwater Scholar Community website, we wanted to have an easily searchable database of all the scholars to date. Although the website has only tracked scholars since 2006, it will serve as a good start as we begin to import older records.
Ensure you have installed Python3 and the required modules: re, requests, bs4, csv. Then you can run the program using:
python3 main.py
Note that the program will scrape the site by querying each award year page, so please be mindful of network traffic.
