Dummy Craigslist in Django Framework

This project makes use of the Django Framework and is best suited for EdTech purposes. Although, it can be used for several other purposes but requires a slight modification. This code packet makes use of concepts like Web Scraping and scraps data from the live Craiglist website. This link can be found in "../dummyCraiglist/myApp/view.py" in the variable name 'BASE_CRAIGLIST_URL' which is currently set to Hyderabad but can be modified accordingly. That data acquired is stored in live runtime which can also be modified for permanent storage also. 

 

This project gives a very interactive upfront that is very different from the usual Craiglist that comes up in a textual manner only. This module can be integrated with real-time job companies like OLX and hence they can increase their services and bring in business revenue. 

 

The most important part of this project is that it doesn't only scraps data from Craiglist but if modified can also scrape data from another website. Just make sure the company allows scraping on their website. This can be done by modifying the URL and the parameter list that has to be scrapped.
