# Essay Researcher

### Overview:

A **Python** website to ease the process of preparing sources for an essay or assignment. After entering a topic sentence and keywords, a list of articles with excerpts containing these words is returned, allowing the user to fundamentally streamline their research process. The program uses the **Flask** framework to display results on the web, and **BeautifulSoup4** to scrape through websites for information related to the topic and keywords that the user enters. To build the front-end **HTML/CSS** and **Bootstrap** were used, and for the backend Python and **BeautifulSoup4** were used. Built for the **DefHacks 2020 Hackathon**.

### Features:

* User is able to input a topic sentence and keywords to refine their search 

* Option to specify the type of suffix for the URL, with the options being, .gov, .edu, or .org sites.

* Returns list of articles with related excerpts as well as URLs to said articles
