How to capture epidemic data with python

Import BeautifulSoup from bs4.

Imported re

Import json

# 1. Send a request to get the first page of the epidemic (data comes from Lilac Garden).

response = requests . get('/ncovh 5/view/pneumonia ')

home _ page = response . content . decode()

# 2. Extract the latest day's data from the epidemic homepage.

soup = BeautifulSoup(home_page，' lxml ')

script = soup . find(id = ' getAreaStat ')

Text = script. string

# 3. Extract data to get data in json format

json_str = re.findall(r'\[。 +\]'，text)[0]

# 4. Convert json format to python type

last _ day _ corona _ virus = JSON . loads(JSON _ str)

# 5. Save the data of the latest day in json format.

With open ('data/last _ day _ corona virus.json',' w') as fp:

Json.dump (last _ day _ corona _ virus, fp, ensure _ascii=False)
