📖How does it work?

We developed an algorithm capable of scraping a website's interface, collecting data of a list of products in many supermarkets and send to a cloud MongoDB. Also, some dashboards were developed (using HMTL, CSS and Javascript) to allow analysis on products' price changes over time.

🧰Languages and Tools

  • Python
  • MongoDB
  • Selenium
  • JavaScript
  • NodeJS

⁉️Why?

Our goal is to collect data from online supermarkets' products in order to analyse price changes during some period of time.
