Project Outline

1. Find website to scrape

BPP 10 Point Plan-Marxist ARCHIVE

2Search source to figure out how to target elements I want to scrape
- numbered list?
  - Looks like it is an ol, which I believe is ordered list, which contains 10 li-list items. Which is synchronous, and Digital anomonopeac? It being quite literally and digitally a list of 10 things
    - So either grab through the ol class or li class. Would either work and what would difference be>
      - Using
        
        document.querySelectorAll("li")
        
        In the console I was able to get returned the li items that I want.
        
        But how would I reference them-oh I need to actually scrape the elements from the page, for which I need...
        
        Can it be done in Javascript?
        
        Python?
        
        I’m going to try and use the script I wrote in class following along with the material being covered in class and see if I can appropriate it to get the
        elements from the BPP 10 Point Plan printed out to the terminal.
        
        RUH ROH THEY CAUGHT ME

        Looks like I need to try another website?

        Got it!
        
        Then I will need to figure out how together ti from the terminal to a javascript object
        
        what is the current structure of the data
        
        Looks like a string of text.
        Print it on to a file and imagine how I would get that file ready for a js project. And then try to do or Oz and come back to later.
        
        Tried as json and .txt
        
        both realists look the same. Like a string without quotations marks. I could
        
        Put quotes around it and then read the .txt file in as a string, or maybe I don’t even need to wash the data in any way, just pull in the text with p5?
        
        what was the week we did that in PAZ?
        
        I got a version working with the p5 script reading in the .txt file created on the command line by the python script from the css selector on the website!
        
        Up next
        
        duh, style the text a little
        
        figure out how to programitcaly do the part it did
        
        which was uploading the .txt file to codepen
        
        Implement some of the ideas for coolest things I can facilitate with this data in a web endvironemnt
        
        document some formations
        
        then send to markdown for ulysses prep for web
        
        review and organize these project notes
        
        Here is the link to the codepen that has the functionality I need I believe
        Link: ObqOBj
        
        what do I want it to end up as
        
        And then what would the ‘better’ way be. If I know sockets and server side programming as well as I would like
        
        Terminal to file in folder with index.hrml and .js file waiting to receive it?
        
        Set up steps
        
        Anything else before running script
        
        Python run.py
        
        Make sure beautiful soup is imported
        
        Start virtual env
        
        Cd into folder
