Challenges

Team CigarSeek took Tiksom on board to build it from scratch. We came up with an efficient strategy:

  • Perform Web scraping by fetching the HTML content of the target webpage. 
  • Sending HTTP requests to the target website's server to retrieve the HTML content.
  • Handling Dynamic Content
  • Extracted data is typically saved and stored directly in a database for further analysis or usage.

  • Due to user traffic in millions efficiency was their major concern

Responsibilities
  • Data Processing and Cleaning.
  • Ensure the extracted data is in a suitable format for storage in the PostgreSQL database.
  • Generate a Rails model that represents the table where you want to store the scraped data.
  • Error Handling and Testing: Handle errors that may occur during web scrapings, such as connection errors or data extraction failures.
  • Write tests: Create test cases for your web scraping process to ensure it functions correctly and efficiently.
