Web Scraper for making maps of practices offering continuing medical education

Primary LanguagePythonMIT LicenseMIT

Introduction

Die Suche nach passenden Weiterbildungspraxen in der Allgemeinmedizin ist unnötig schwierig. Hier ist ein einfaches Skript, anhand dessen man die Suchergebnisse der Webseite der Bayerischen Landesärztekammer auf eine Karte markieren kann.

Limitations

this script will only get the first 100 practices of the search, as this is the maximum to display on one page using the form. It is possible to modify the request to the server to include an arbitrary number of results in the response using the browser devtools. The server response will then contain as many results as specified, although it is still paginated on the page.

Instructions

  1. visit this website and make a query: https://secure.blaek.de/Portal/WBBSuchePortal/WBBSuchePortal/Suche
  2. Save the result using HTML only as input.html in the directory containing the script
  3. run the script, resulting in the file out.csv
  4. create a new map on https://www.google.com/maps/
  5. import out.csv
