Web-Scraping-Challenge

Objective

Deliverable 1: Scrape titles and preview text from Mars news articles. Optionally export the data into a JSON file or a MongoDB database.

Deliverable 2: Scrape and analyse Mars weather data, which exists in a table.

Solution

Part 1 - mars_news.ipynb scrapes news headlines and preview text from https://redplanetscience.com/ and saves these to a new.json

Part 2 - mar_weather.ipynb scrapes weather data from https://data-class-mars-challenge.s3.amazonaws.com/Mars/index.html and stores information in a dataframe and csv file. Analysis and findings are noted in markdown cells throughout notebook.

Screenshots_part_2 stores screenshots of estimated dates for midsummer and midwinter, which are then used to calculate the length of a Martian year in Earth days.
