During the pandemic, local venue the Vaudeville Mews closed permanently. They have a show calendar on their website and I wanted to archive the data before it gets taken down. I hadn’t done web-scraping before but it just took an afternoon to get setup in Python and scrape the website with BeautifulSoup (a library that simplifies scraping). I captured the data, wrote it to a csv, and then uploaded it to a Google Sheet Archive.

I have more plans for this data but now that I have it pulled down and archived, there is no rush to complete the project before the website gets taken down.
