Screen Scraping And Data Synthesis
Current- Determine potential points-based competitor outcomes prior to surfing contest completion from website data available only in a heats-based format. Results used during live contest broadcasts. Write Python code to:
- generate Excel spreadsheets by screen scraping data from multiple html pages lacking a public-facing API into a concise format for viewing competition data during contest
- calculate potential points-based outcomes as contest progresses through each heat of multiple rounds
- generate JSON files containing competitor attributes used to inform subsequent calculations
- screen scrape separate competition calendar web pages and combine for unified Excel export
