For reproducibility, this README.md describes how to start the crawler and application.

First, ensure your Docker environment is installed and running. Then, follow the steps in the "Environment Setup" section to build your Docker image.

Env setup

docker pull selenium/standalone-chrome
docker build -t tw_plant_illustration_crawler .

How to Run the Code

Starting the Crawler

Run the Docker command listed under the "Crawler" section to start crawling data from the specified URL.

docker run -v /Users/wen/Desktop/TW_Plant_Illustration_crawler:/app tw_plant_illustration_crawler /bin/bash -c "source activate env && python src/crawler/crawler.py"

Data Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL)

After crawling the data, run the Docker command listed under the "ETL" section to process and save the data.

docker run -v /Users/wen/Desktop/TW_Plant_Illustration_crawler:/app tw_plant_illustration_crawler /bin/bash -c "source activate env && python src/ETL/etl.py"

Starting the API

Once the data is processed, run the Docker command listed under the "API" section to start the RESTful API service.

docker run -v /Users/wen/Desktop/TW_Plant_Illustration_crawler:/app -p 8000:8000 tw_plant_illustration_crawler /bin/bash -c "source activate env && uvicorn src.api.api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --reload"

Visit http://localhost:8000 to check if the API is running properly.
