The OFACrawler opens the calendar from a website https://outdoorsforall.org/events-news/calendar/ and crawls the events' data from this website for 3 consecutive months from the current month and generates a json file with the results.

Dependencies -

Python - https://www.python.org/downloads/
Pip - https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
Beautiful Soup 4 - pip install beautifulsoup4
dateutil - pip install python-dateutil
datetime - pip install DateTime

How it works

Opens the website https://outdoorsforall.org/events-news/calendar/ and parses three months of events from the current month. Produce a list of events' data and outout json file. Displays timestamp of start time and end time, logs connecting to link successful or failed, links of events found.

Running the crawler

Make sure ALL dependencies are installed before running AND that you have ran OFASraper.py first. Once done simply run the OFAScraper.py script and wait until it finishes creating the json.

Example of output

Following is the JSON generated -
