NUFORC dataset scrapper

The idea for this scrapper comes from the following repo holding data from more than 8 years ago.

Goal

By running the scrapper, you will scrap every data (sorted per date) from the NUFORC website.

ReportRepresentation.Data scrapped is stored inside data.csv file inside the project directory. If you don't want to run the scrapper, you can download the dataset.csv file which may be (and surely is) out of date.

ReportRepresentation.Data structure

ReportRepresentation.Data inside the CSV file has the same structure as any report webpage (for instance, this one). That is to say :

Date / Time	City	State	Country	Shape	Duration	Summary	Posted	Images

Dependencies

You will need the following requirements

Java
Scala build tool (sbt)

Getting started

Open a terminal, clone the repository and run sbt

cd <project folder>
sbt run

You should now have a data.csv file inside <project folder>.
