COVID-19-Web-Scraper

A Web scraper written in python that collects overall and country wise covid-19 statistics from worldometers and Wikipedia. The scraper collects country wise statistics from 15th Feb to current date, such as :-

  • Total cases
  • Total deaths
  • Daily cases
  • Daily deaths
  • Active cases

And overall statistics for all countries such as :-

  • Total cases
  • Total recoveries
  • Total deaths

The repo also contains code to write these data files into a postgreSQL database running on localhost. The files - country_stats.py and overall_stats.py make csv datasets scraping all data since Feb 15 to date. The file daily_updation.py daily updates these datasets made above with the current date statistics.
