💻 Week 02 - Webscrapping script

2023/24 Autumn Term

Below is the script that was showcased during the week 2 class. You can try it out by yourselves on Nuvolos or Google Colab.

Click on the button below to download the source file (.ipynb notebook) that was used to create this page, if you ever want to try the demo for yourselves:

Python libraries imports

In this step, you import all the Python libraries you need to execute the code that follows. Some libraries (e.g re, the library that deals with regular expressions i.e string pattern matching, or datetime, the library for date and time manipulation or requests, the library designed to send HTTP requests and used in webscrapping) are part of the Python Standard Library (see here for the list of packages included in the standard library in Python 3.10) but some (most notably pandas, the library for dataframe manipulation and one of the main libraries in use in data science, and BeautifulSoup, the library used for webscrapping) are not and need to be installed (using a pip install or a conda install command) before you import them, otherwise you would get an error at import time.

#Necessary python libraries import (before import step, the installation of library is required in python environment)

import requests   #library for webscrapping
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup   #library for webscrapping
import pandas as pd   #basic library
import re   #library for regex (word matching)
import datetime   #library to use DateTime method

Sending an HTTP GET request to Wikipedia

This step is about sending a request for data from the Wikipedia page you are interested in i.e the current events page. If your request is successful, you get a response code 200. If not, you get an error code, e.g 404 (Page not found).

# URL of the webpage with the ongoing events
url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events"

# Send an HTTP GET request to the URL
response = requests.get(url)
print("response:", response)

response: <Response [200]>

Scrapping the ongoing events column for content

# Check if the response code is 200
if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse the HTML content with BeautifulSoup
    soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

    # Find the div with role="region" and aria-labelledby="Ongoing_events"
    ongoing_events_div = soup.find('div', {'role': 'region', 'aria-labelledby': 'Ongoing_events'})

    if ongoing_events_div: #checking the ongoing events column is not empty
        headlines = []
        descriptions = []
        timestamps = []

        # Find all the h3 elements within the ongoing_events_div
        h3_elements = ongoing_events_div.find_all('h3')

        for h3 in h3_elements:
            # Get the headline text from the span with class "mw-headline"
            headline = h3.find('span', class_='mw-headline')
            if headline:
                headlines.append(headline.text.strip())
            else:
                headlines.append("No Headline")
            # Get the description text from the following sibling (next_element)
            description = h3.find_next_sibling()
            if description:
                descriptions.append(description.text.strip())
            else:
                descriptions.append("No Description")

            # Get the timestamp from the following sibling of the description
            if description:
               timestamp = h3.find_next_sibling().find_next_sibling()
               if timestamp:
                  timestamps.append(timestamp.text.strip())
               else:
                  timestamps.append("No Timestamp")
            else:
              timestamps.append("No Timestamp") 

        # Create a DataFrame with the columns
        df = pd.DataFrame({"Headline": headlines, "Description": descriptions, "Timestamp": timestamps})

        # Display the DataFrame
        print(df)
    else: #what to do in case the ongoing events column is empty/not found 
        print("Couldn't find the 'mw-collapsible current-events-sidebar' div on the page.")
else: #what to do in case the current events page is not reachable i.e the response code is not 200
    print(f"HTTP request failed with status code {response.status_code}.")

      Headline     Description     Timestamp
0  No Headline  No Description  No Timestamp
1  No Headline  No Description  No Timestamp
2  No Headline  No Description  No Timestamp
3  No Headline  No Description  No Timestamp

The code in the small chunk below simply displays the content of the Wikipedia page that you are scrapping i.e the content that you obtain from this line of code soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

print(soup) # Displays the content of the scrapped Wikipedia page (HTML format)

Processing the Description column

# Currently only 3 rows, one for each Headline
# Next to split the clubbed values in the 'Description' Column

# Split the 'Description' column by newline character ('\n') and stack the resulting Series
split_descriptions = df['Description'].str.split('\n', expand=True).stack()

# Reset the index to match the original DataFrame's structure
split_descriptions = split_descriptions.reset_index(level=1, drop=True)

# Rename the Series to 'Description' to match the original DataFrame
split_descriptions.name = 'Description'

# Drop the original 'Description' column from the original DataFrame
df = df.drop('Description', axis=1)

# Concatenate the original DataFrame with the split 'Description' Series
df = pd.concat([df, split_descriptions], axis=1)

Extracting start year of the events from the events description

The function below (extract_year) tries to find an event start year in the event description. It assumes that each description contains a start year i.e (the first occurrence of) a series of 4 digits, either occurring at the start of the description and followed by an empty string or separated from the other characters in the description by an empty string (if found in the middle of the description). It uses a so-called regular expression to find the start year in the description and extract it. extract_year is then applied to all rows in the Description column to create a new column Event Start Year that has all the start years associated with each event. The processing is made complete by then removing the start years from the Description column values and dropping the Timestamp column that was not fit for purpose and did not contain event dates.

# Function to extract the year from the description
def extract_year(description):
    # Use regular expressions to find a 4-digit year in the description
    year_match = re.search(r'\b\d{4}\b', description)
    if year_match:
        return year_match.group(0)
    else:
        return None

# Create a new column 'Event Year' by applying the extract_year function to the 'Description' column
df['Event Start Year'] = df['Description'].apply(extract_year)

# Remove the year value from the 'Description' column
df['Description'] = df['Description'].apply(lambda x: re.sub(r'\b\d{4}\b', '', x) if pd.notna(x) else x)

df

	Headline	Timestamp	Description	Event Start Year
0	No Headline	No Timestamp	No Description	None
1	No Headline	No Timestamp	No Description	None
2	No Headline	No Timestamp	No Description	None
3	No Headline	No Timestamp	No Description	None

# Drop the "Timestamp" column
df = df.drop(columns=["Timestamp"])
df

	Headline	Description	Event Start Year
0	No Headline	No Description	None
1	No Headline	No Description	None
2	No Headline	No Description	None
3	No Headline	No Description	None

String manipulation in dataframe columns

# Remove leading and trailing whitespace from all columns (if any)
df = df.apply(lambda x: x.str.strip() if x.dtype == "object" else x)
df

	Headline	Description	Event Start Year
0	No Headline	No Description	None

# Remove special characters from the 'Description' column
df['Description'] = df['Description'].apply(lambda x: re.sub(r'[^A-Za-z0-9\s]+', '', x))
df

	Headline	Description	Event Start Year
0	No Headline	No Description	None
1	No Headline	No Description	None
2	No Headline	No Description	None
3	No Headline	No Description	None

Index reset

# Reset the DataFrame index
df = df.reset_index(drop=True)
df

	Headline	Description	Event Start Year
0	No Headline	No Description	None
1	No Headline	No Description	None
2	No Headline	No Description	None
3	No Headline	No Description	None

Extracting event location from Description

# Function to extract the event location from the description
def extract_event_location(description):
    # Use regular expressions to find the location based on keywords
    location_match = re.search(r'(?:United|Sri|South|North)\s+\w+|\b(?:United|Sri|South|North)\b', description)
    
    #Note: We have only added 4 options in location_match variable, we can add other words such as: 
    #'New' for 'New Zealand',
    #'Costa' for 'Costa Rica',
    #'El' for 'El Salvador'
    
    if location_match:
        return location_match.group(0)
    else:
        # If none of the keywords are found, fetch the first word from the description
        words = description.split()
        if words:
            return words[0]
        else:
            return None

# Apply the extract_event_location function to the 'Description' column
df['Event Location'] = df['Description'].apply(extract_event_location)

#Discuss the Correct Location values
df['Correct Location'].value_counts(dropna=False)

#which one are valid values or not?

Correct Location

Note that not all ‘Correct Location’ values are valid country/city names. Values such as ‘Global’, ‘Food’, ‘Inflation’, ‘Belaruseuropean’, ‘Great’ or ‘Impeachment’ obtained by scrapping requires a more in-depth look and more cleaning and processing. Webscrapping alone is not alone in this case!

Calculating event duration

To calculate event duration, the reference point taken is the current year i.e 2023.

# Function to calculate duration and format the result
def calculate_duration(event_year):
    if pd.notna(event_year):
        current_year = datetime.datetime.now().year
        duration = current_year - int(event_year)
        if duration == 1 or duration == 0:
            return f"{duration} year"
        else:
            return f"{duration} years"
    else:
        return None

# Create a new column 'Duration' using the calculate_duration function
df['Duration'] = df['Event Start Year'].apply(calculate_duration)
df

	Headline	Description	Event Start Year	Event Location	Correct Location	Duration
0	No Headline	No Description	None	No	No	None
1	No Headline	No Description	None	No	No	None
2	No Headline	No Description	None	No	No	None
3	No Headline	No Description	None	No	No	None

Reordering columns

#EXTRA (Just to showcase that the placing of columns can be changed easily)

# Get the current column names
columns = df.columns.tolist()

# Move 'Duration' column next to 'Event Year' column
columns.remove('Duration')
columns.insert(columns.index('Event Start Year') + 1, 'Duration')

# Reorder the columns in the DataFrame
df = df[columns]
df

	Headline	Description	Event Start Year	Duration	Event Location	Correct Location
0	No Headline	No Description	None	None	No	No
1	No Headline	No Description	None	None	No	No
2	No Headline	No Description	None	None	No	No
