Inspiration

I was planning to make a calendar for INIT, so I needed the schedule data. I didn't end up doing the calendar, but did make this scraper using Python.

What it does

What it says on the tin!

How we built it

  • Python
  • requests
  • JSON
  • BeautifulSoup

Challenges we ran into

  • Parsing the dates
  • Converting dates & times to UTC

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Getting all the dates and times converted

What we learned

  • How to parse HTML with BeautifulSoup
  • How to convert between timezones in Python

What's next for MLH Init Schedule Scraper

I dunno, maybe I'll use it in the next LHD or next years INIT.
