This is a simple Web Scraping project using python, it helps the user to see details of any CodeChef profile by their username.
🔹 make sure you have python installed in your system or install it here
🔹 install pip
I have not added too many comments as the function, variable names itself is quite Self explanatory, but if someone is still having problem to understand the code just try testing the code out.
Clone the project and install the library that are required
git clone https://github.com/Shadow129-sys/CodeChef-Profile-Scraper.git
cd CodeChef-Profile-Scraper
pip install -r requirements.txt
write the usernames in input.txt and run the main.py file in terminal.
python -u main.py
take a look at the Sample_InputOutput folder to get a better understanding about the input output format.
