Japanese Restaurants in Central
I scrapped the data of Japanese restaurants in Central because I had a date with a friend to have Japanese cuisine there, and it was a perfect opportunity to make restaurant selections, just the right time to apply the skills learned in class to my real life. : )
I use the website filter and type the keywords, central and Japanese, and used ParseHub to scrap all 278 results, it’s a user-friendly tool, especially the selected next page function, really useful and convenient! I mainly selected the highest/lowest rating restaurants and also had some general observations of the reviews of the restaurant categorized by the spending-per-head, and I write the results on my assignment2 webpage.
I met some difficulties cleaning the data in openrefine, not familiar with the GREL language yet, and it takes me a long time to extract numbers from a string.
I was stuck running the code in Jupiter notebook, after importing the database and everything else, I always get an error message saying there is no such table, I looked up many tutorials and finally find my bug in the location of my file, so I cleaned up all my files and relocated them, finally succeeded.
it’s tough to do the assignment just as usual, but I did have a better understanding of the content in class after some watching more tutorial videos, and also felt a little more confident in my skills, which made me feel good.☺️
