External factor integration: Events #8

Integrate external events data

Considerations:

• What types of events do we want to consider (concerts, festivals, local events, ect...)
• How quickly are the events being updated
• How reliable/popular the website is
• Needs to be able to run on some schedule (daily, hourly, ect...)
• Is there a way to be alerted when an event is announced immediately?

Relevant sources to look into:

• AskNews
• PredictHQ
• Twitter API

Acceptance criteria:

• Python script that scrapes event data
• Execute at least 3 "runs" show that the data is cleaned
• Be ready to present file/finding at next meeting (10/7)
