this-italian-doesnt-exist

Random fake Italian identity generator. But mostly just a web scraping exercise.

Each scraper implements parallel processing through worker threads.

Expected output

{'name': <name>, 'surname': <surname>, 'postcode': <postcode>, 'city': <city>, 'dob': <dob>, 'email': <email>, 'phone': <phone>, }

Required dependencies:

cheerio, node-fetch
