DFS Charts

DFS Charts is a data analysis tool for Daily Fantasy Sports. Users can search for any active player using an search bar featuing auto suggest, then view multiple data points and graphs to help them choose the best lineups.

I chose to work on this project in order to learn web scraping, the process of extracting data from websites. Sports data, while widely available on the internet, is not available via an API. To create my own database, I built a recursive web scraper to collect the needed data. I also coded a cron job that will scrape each new day's data
