This repository contains archived source code for automatically web scraping price data from largest Vietnamese e-commerce websites.
The scraping algorithm utilizes BeautifulSoup and selenium (when needed, see e.g. py/prices_lazadavn.py).
Each website requires its own scraper, defined by a corresponding file in the /py folder. An interface for managing web scraping processes is built using tmuxp. The scraping for each website starts daily at a random time between 0AM and 1AM, finishes its tasks, then hibernates until the next day.
This repository requires existing installations of Python 3.8, pipenv and tmuxp.
After cloning this repository locally, run the following command from the project source to set up a Pipenv environment and initiate all scrapers:
tmuxp load ./src/tmuxp-scraping-session.yaml
