The final project completed during my time at WEA. This project was done under the mentorship of the engineers at Shyftlabs. You can find it Here.
Having gathered a bit of experience using Rest APIs, I used this project as a chance to finally deploy my own.
The OG Web Scraper API utilizes a Python script which leverages the BeautifulSoup library to successfully gather Open Graph tags off of relevant e-commerce sites. Most notably, it is fully compatible with sites made with Shopify.
The website containing API documentation was created with React and TailwindCSS, and features instructions supporting both JavaScript and Python, along with a page to sample the API locally.
What I Learned
- E-commerce sites use Open Graph tags to sort their product’s information
- Create Python scripts, and have their output be attached to a front-end web page
- Deploy an API with Vercel
- More technical and impressive CSS animations and styling
