Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
We are an early-stage startup focused on building technology for non-profit organizations (NPOs). As part of our offering, we are building a database of NPO information from various sources. These sources will include pulling information directly from the websites of the non-profit organizations.
As part of this project, we would like to prototype and test approaches for pulling data from a list of 150 websites. The following data should be collected from each website and saved in CSV format:
- Name
- Primary Location
- Leadership Team / Board Information
- Contact Email
- Contact Telephone Number
- Social Media Links (Twitter, Instagram, etc.)
- Mission
- Financials
The student(s) will define the actual fields needed for this data and run a process to pull data from the provided list of URLs. Completion of this project should include
- Written overview of the process used that includes the tools considered, tools selected, any feedback on the how these tools worked, and lessons learned from the project.
- Detailed instructions for configuring the tools used. Infinite Giving will need the ability to re-run the process.
- CSV file for the 150 websites
