The purpose of this project is to build a machine learning model from a non existing database to predict the popularity of a movie based on several features. The database is collected using web scrapping technique. In this project the website named Sens Critique has been used for scrapping to collect necessary data.

N.B. The author does not support web scrapping for piracy or any sort of unauthorized use of data from any website. This project is for education purpose only.

🛠 Built With

• Python3, Pandas, NumPy, and SQLLite3

Key Features

• 500 pages of the website containing 16 movies each is scrapped and about page of each movie is also scrapped to collect necessary data.
• This project is a great example of scrapping dynamically loaded data on a website.
• Several features are considered in order to build the machine learning model for the prediction of a movie popularity.
• The project uses selenium package to simulate a browser experience in order to load every page smoothly.
• Pandas is used to generate a dataframe.
