I love roller coasters and "Ride every roller coaster in the world" is on my bucket list. I'd like to try to build a world map with all the roller coasters in the world, which you can mark with pins or different colors when you've visited them. Something like what people do in general with world maps:
Source: https://www.amazon.com/Scratch-Poster-Deluxe-United-States/dp/B07G3DPJMF/
- Scrape Ultimate Roller Coasters website
- Got all the links to the individual roller coaster pages, but parsing each page is different. Especially since there aren't any clear
classesoridson the info I want/need. - Learned a new lesson in scraping via a VPN or proxy site so my IP doesn't get blocked and I can't access the site anymore...
- Got all the links to the individual roller coaster pages, but parsing each page is different. Especially since there aren't any clear
- Create simple API to access later
- Figure out how to make an interactive map with marked points for the roller coasters
- Come up with a way to "check off" one of those marked points for completio
