This repository holds all the necessary code to run the automation robot that extracts strain-related information at Leafly.
Update: Leafly now uses an advanced mechanism for detecting web-scrapping (Cloudflare v2 and re-captcha). Thus this project will not be supported anymore as it now involves breaking their detection with external services.
If you are interested in the most recent Leafly data dump (20th September 2022), please contact [email protected].
Install all the pre-needed requirements using:
pip install -r requirements.txtWe have already dumped all Leafly's data and made it available in both .json and .csv formats. Note that there might be some missing values as Leafly's database is incomplete for not well-known strains.
The dataset and its additional information are available at Kaggle.
Initially, one needs to scrap/dump the list of strains (URL format) to proceed with the meta-data extraction. To accomplish such a step, one needs to use the following script:
python scrap_strains_list.py -hNote that -h invokes the script helper, which assists users in employing the appropriate parameters.
Further, with the strains' list in hand, it is now possible to extract JSON-like information from every URL. To fulfill this purpose, use the following script:
python scrap_strains_data.py -hInstead of invoking every script to conduct the automation, it is also possible to use the provided shell script as follows:
./pipeline.shSuch a script will conduct every step needed to accomplish the automation process. Furthermore, one can change any input argument defined in the script.
We know that we do our best, but it is inevitable to acknowledge that we make mistakes. If you ever need to report a bug, report a problem, talk to us, please do so! We will be available at our bests at this repository or [email protected].
