🚀 Project Overview

The DevTeam AI website is my submission for the Bright Data Web Scraping Challenge. This project is a fully functional platform that demonstrates advanced web scraping capabilities, using various APIs to fetch and process data from multiple sources.

The website allows users to:

  1. Scrape Images and Videos:

    • Unsplash (images)
    • Pixabay (images and videos)
    • Pexels (images)
  2. Fetch Information and Content:

    • Wikipedia data scraping for articles and information.
    • Movie Information using the OMDB API.
  3. AI-Assisted Features:

    • An AI Assistant that helps users interact with the scraped data.
  4. Image Processing:

    • Background Remover for images.
  5. Geolocation and Coordinates:

    • Location Coordinates scraping via GetCoordinate.
    • IP Geolocation scraping using GeoIP services.

🔧 Technologies Used

  • HTML and CSS: To create the structure and styling of the website.
  • Java: To add backend functionality and integrate APIs.
  • APIs: Multiple APIs were used to fetch and scrape data, including:
    • Unsplash API
    • Pixabay API
    • Pexels API
    • OMDB API
    • Wikipedia API
    • GetCoordinate API
    • GeoIP API

🌟 Key Features

  1. Multi-Platform Data Scraping: Fetching data from popular platforms like Unsplash, Pixabay, Wikipedia, and more.
  2. Movies & Images: Integrated scraping for movie details and high-quality images/videos.
  3. AI Assistant: Helps guide users in using the website’s data scraping tools efficiently.
  4. Geolocation Tools: IP-based geolocation and coordinate fetching functionalities.

💡 Challenges Faced

The biggest challenge was integrating multiple functionalities into a seamless user experience while ensuring the APIs were utilized efficiently. Adding and combining these features required careful planning, especially with managing data inputs/outputs using Java.


🎯 Future Improvements

I plan to:

  • Add more scraping sources and APIs to enhance the website’s functionality.
