Python Forum

Hi,

I have a question how can i scrape websites by pressing html button and then save the scrape data into database and then download them whenever required.

This is my office project. A web page where i would have all the scrapers saved and just press download button and it starts downloading data into csv.

I have divided this project into three parts Execute, save into database and download into csv.

Lets discuss part 1-Execute

I have prepared web scrapers in python. I have prepared Html page from where i will execute python scripts, Now how can i execute these python from my views.py in Django.

My folder structure looks like this: Desktop--> Dashboard-->Rera-->Reraapp, rera,temlate, manage.py and dbsqlite3. In template there is a folder files in which i have the attached HTML page saved.
views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.conf.urls import include
from django.http import HttpResponse
# Create your views here.

def index(request):
    first = {"here":"will enter more details"}
    return render(request, "files/first-page.html", context=first)
    #return HttpResponse("<em>Rera details will be patched here</em>")    

i have saved my scrapers scripts where i have saved the views.py
suppose my scraper file name is maharashtra.py which is saved where views.y is saved also
In the attached Html page i have scrapers name and buttons like start crawling and download.

Now whenever i press then button start crawling it should start the scrapers.

This is the first part.

**Please Tell me How to save into database for part 2 just a push i need**
