A web scraping, regex, and data visualization project (in progress)
This is a project about pinball machines, inspired by Pinball Map and the Internet Pinball Database. My purpose in this project is to gather and visualize some data about pinball machines, practicing my web scraping, regex, and Tableau skills along the way.
Here's what you'll find in this repo:
- pinball-wizardry.ipynb: a Jupyter notebook containing project code.
- pinball_dashboard.html: an HTML document containing an embedded Tableau dashboard.
To run the notebook on your own machine, you'll need Python 3 and the following packages:
- re
- requests
- time
- bs4
Check out the dashboard I built on Tableau Public: https://public.tableau.com/profile/jenny.kreiger#!/vizhome/PinballWizardry/Dashboard
