Wrote a data scraping library that scrapes data from multiple APIs + with web scraping. Used the network tab on the Chrome inspect panel to see the API requests then imitated them in Postman and observed the headers and parameters, wrote a custom function that makes it easier to send custom cURL requests. Implemented caching to make the functions that used web scraping instead of API. In the end, I returned all data in a JSON format. My colleague used the library in a web app and visualized the data using graphs.
