This is an app used to quickly find general information about video games by searching using a name. The app uses the queried keyword(s) and then scrapes game information from popular sites like Metacritic, HowLongToBeat, Wikipedia, and Google. The information is then organized and listed in an easy to read format.
This app is deployed here: https://videogameinfo.herokuapp.com/
The heroku deployment works now that I've added multiprocessing and set a limit of 10 games for a search.
To launch this app on your local environment, clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/Kou-kun42/VideoGameInfo.git
Then, set up a python virtual environment using:
python3 -m venv env
and then activate it:
source env/bin/activate
Next, install all the required packages:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Finally, launch the app:
python3 app.py
