Jeans that Fit!

• 

  Concept of what the site could look like!

Inspiration

I have always struggled to find jeans that fit. There have been many tears, hours and hours of searching, and wishing there was a way to just easily condense all the hundreds of websites down into something easily searchable. That's the goal of this project- to create that dream website that allows users to filter according to their needs and wants, to find the perfect pants for them.

What it does

It scrapes existing retailer sites and catalogs the data into a database, in which it can be displayed and filtered accordingly.

How we built it

I'm using BeautifulSoup for Python to perform the HTML parsing, along with Flask for the website backend. MySQL is being used for the database.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge with this project is creating a framework that works for many sites, as websites are all built differently. It is something I'm still working on!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of creating a semi-flexible scraper that works (so far) on all Old Navy webpages! You just have to paste in the URL, and it grabs all the info and adds it to the database.
