Prerequisites: Python Requests, Python GUI – tkinter
Sometimes we just want a quick fast tool to really tell whats the current update, we just need a bare minimum of data. Web scraping deals with taking some data from the web and then processing it and displaying the relevant content in a short and crisp manner.
What the code is doing ?
- First we are using Tkinter Library to make GUI required for our script
- We are using requests Library to get the data from the unofficial api
- Then we are displaying the data we need in this case its Total active cases: and confirmed cases
below is the implementation.
Python3
import requestsimport jsonfrom tkinter import *window = Tk()# creating the Boxwindow.title("Covid-19")# Determining the size of the Boxwindow.geometry('220x70')# Including labelslbl = Label(window, text ="Total active cases:-......")lbl1 = Label(window, text ="Total confirmed cases:-...")lbl.grid(column = 1, row = 0)lbl1.grid(column = 1, row = 1)lbl2 = Label(window, text ="")lbl2.grid(column = 1, row = 3)def clicked(): # Opening the url and loading the # json data using json Library page = requests.get(url) data = json.loads(page.text) lbl.configure(text ="Total active cases:-" + data["statewise"][0]["active"]) lbl1.configure(text ="Total Confirmed cases:-" + data["statewise"][0]["confirmed"]) lbl2.configure(text ="Data refreshed")btn = Button(window, text ="Refresh", command = clicked)btn.grid(column = 2, row = 0)window.mainloop() |
Output:
