Crawler for skin cancer images

This project attempts to create a crawler for dermoscopic images of skin cancer. This includes both frontend and backend.

The backend consists of packages to crawl images from websites and a web server to collect them and serve the images as an API.

The frontend consumes the API and displays information to the user.

How to run

Backend

• Add Kaggle API token at ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json
• In backend/, run static_crawler.py. The crawling process takes some time.
• Run Flask server:

export FLASK_APP=app.py
export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run

Frontend

Open file frontend/index.html
