ProductScraper

This Python project scrapes product information from the Digikala e-commerce website to extract details about available laptops, such as price, model, CPU, GPU, RAM, screen size, etc. The extracted data is stored in a MySQL database using the mysql library. Additionally, the project includes a simple machine learning model built with scikit-learn for predicting laptop prices based on user input configurations.

Features

• Web Scraping: Scrapes product information from Digikala's laptop category.
• Data Extraction: Collects details like price, model, CPU, GPU, RAM, screen size, etc., from each laptop listing.
• Database Storage: Stores the extracted data in a MySQL database.
• Machine Learning Model: Develops a simple price prediction model based on laptop configurations.

How It Works

1. Find Number of Pages: Determines the number of pages available for the laptop category on the Digikala website.
2. Loop and Extract Links: Iterates through each page, extracting links to individual laptop listings.
3. Retrieve and Collect Data: Requests each laptop's URL and collects desired information.
4. Decode and Store: Decodes the extracted information and stores it in a MySQL database.
5. Model Creation: Builds a machine learning model using scikit-learn to predict laptop prices based on user-specified configurations.
