psychtoday-web-scraper

This project uses Flask and BeautifulSoup to show how to scrape the web for information based on user input.

webscraper.py

This file contains the main scraper work. It routes the user to a form, where they can put in the location of the area they would like to scrape for therapists. We read this in from the form with a post request upon submit in get_data(). We then use the lc variable as input for scrape(). scrape() returns all of the collected data and prints it by rendering the results.html template.
