run-scraper.py not working

Open xdebbie opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

The database is awesome but unfortunately it stops in 2017... so I have been trying to update the database so we can have the data up to 2020 (today) but I cannot make the run-scraper work. I keep getting the same syntax error in the line 73 print 'Finished page: ' + str(pagenum) over and over again...

Is this code still working? I am guessing Pitchfork has had some redesigns in the past years - how can I scrape the data all over again to fetch an updated database?

Hi! sorry i missed this notification! My guess is that the pitchfork site has changed sufficiently that the scraper oughtnt be trusted, so it'd probably be better for you to start from scratch!
