A repository containing the projects for my data scraping class, summer term 2021 at the University of Bamberg.
The attended course focuses on obtaining raw data rather than conducting some fancy analyses with it. This is also the case for the Jupyter Notebooks in this repo.
As far as real topics are concerned, there is a wide variety:
A first project included:
- Scraping Tweets off of Twitter by using its API (included a small analysis of Tweets, we scraped the timelines of politicians Christian Lindner and Annalena Baerbock)
- The inevitable Covid19-Scraping-Project, where I was able to scrape data provided by the M-Media-Group Coronavirus-API (included active cases, death tolls etc. for a lot of countries, not only in Europe). Analysis itself then focused on Italy and Germany.
My second project which is also the second part of the term paper revolves around newspapers/media outlets in the US and their way of reporting on different topics and is more of an explorative analysis. More about this may follow in the README.
