# bd-medicine-scraper
[](https://www.python.org/)  [](https://www.kaggle.com/ahmedshahriarsakib/bangladesh-medicine-analytics) [](https://github.dev/ahmedshahriar/bd-medicine-scraper)
## Overview
Welcome to the bd-medicine-scraper repository!
In this project, I scraped Medicine data (from [medex.com.bd](https://medex.com.bd)) using **scrapy** and integrated it with **Django REST Framework**. The data is stored in a **PostgreSQL** database. I designed the scraper in a way to keep the relations between models.
I also customized the django admin panels, added additional features such as -
- auto complete lookup relational fields
- custom filtering (alphabetical, model property)
- bulk actions (export to csv)
Other Customizations:
- custom scrapy command to run scrapy spiders from django command line. (ex- `python manage.py `)
- custom django commands
- to export models to csv. (`python manage.py `)
```
python manage.py export_medicine_data /home/ahmed/Desktop/medicine_data.csv
- to export generic monograph PDFs
```
python manage.py export_generics_monograph
I also added proxy configuration to scrapy.
## Run
Create a python virtual environment and run these commands from root directory-
```
pip insrall -r requirements.txt
```
This will run the django app-
```
python manage.py runserver
```
NB: Migrate before running the app
```
python manage.py makemigrations && python manage.py migrate
```
To run all spiders-
```
python run_crawler.py
```
To run a specific spider-
```
python manage.py
```
ex - `python manage.py med`
