Page-Scraper

This is a Python based web scraper designed particularly for scraping information about students
clearing Google Summer of Code in the past years. It collects the name, organisation and project
details of each successful candidate which is available on Google's official webpage: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com
and stores it in a .csv file.
It further compares the obtained data with the student database in .json format and returns
the name of the relevant matches.

How to Use

  and accordingly change the name in check.py( scraper.py remains unchanged).

python scraper.py
