I got this as an assignment from a company recruiter and I've successfully scraped a dataset of about 650 movies with their 'Plot', 'Music' and 'Marketing' sections and gross. I've tried tfidf and count vectorizers and performed LSA/PCA to reduce the dimensions which originally are around 20k terms. This is really boggling me, due to less instances(650) I guess the no. features should be around 100 or atleast < 600 but that is a drastic reduction of dimensions using PCA …
My team and I (first year cs uni students) are currently doing a project based on IMDB 5000 dataset obtained from kaggle : https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/carolzhangdc/imdb-5000-movie-dataset While doing EDA, we realised that the gross entries are inconsistent, for example, some movies like "My Date with Drew" has a gross of 85222, which, we found, was based on its "opening weekend". Then we have movies like "Compliance" which has gross of 318622, but this refers to "Gross US & Canada". My question is, …

My desktop computer recently broke, and I'm currently working on a small laptop with barely 500mb of space left. I need to download about 100gb of files from the DFAUST dataset. I was wondering if there was a way to write a script that did this. Wget doesn't work because the downloads must be done on the website itself behind a login. Is there a way to use a form of data scraping to get behind this and automate the …

I have a couple of questions (since until now I have only worked with small or academic datasets). My questions: How do I download this many different images? Since it's pretty hard to manually download the pictures individually, is there a way to automate it? I'm following this platform and am required to make a different class for each player. …
I recently discovered a new R package for connecting to the LinkedIn API. Unfortunately the LinkedIn API seems pretty limited to begin with; for example, you can only get basic data on companies, and this is detached from data on individuals. I'd like to get data on all employees of a given company, which you can do manually on the site but is not possible through the API. import.io would be perfect if it recognised the LinkedIn pagination (see end …

From each company, I require data from thousands of employees.

Initially I thought about using a webscraper …
I'm scraping data from Bing search results for (non-commercial purposes, of course) on Python using BeautifulSoup. I've entered an Indian dessert name, called 'rasmalai' as the word that I am focusing on. The code I'm using returns the title and a description of the web page. I've also extracted the links for the results. Here is the code I used: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import urllib, urllib2 def bing_search(query): address = "http://www.bing.com/search?q=%s" % (urllib.quote_plus(query)) getRequest = urllib2.Request(address, None, {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 …

Does anybody know a way of extracting data with python from more convoluted website structures? For example, I'm trying to extract data from the players in the ATP profiles, but it's just so complicated I quit. I think they're pulling data from some database in the script and I suspect that even if I tried I wouldn't be able to get it. I then started using a specialized software called ParseHub, which pulls the data somewhat visually. It's a pretty …
