Even though numerous resources available to get the required dataset, it is good to have a self-created dataset. In the current scenario of COVID-19, I found interesting data on worldometers.com. It shows a table containing total number of cases, total number of tests performed, total number of closed cases and so on. This table is updated daily.
Just out of curiosity, I wanted this COVID-19 data in my own dataset. With the help of basic python libraries, pandas, numpy and BeautifulSoup I decided to scrape this entire data into my own data set. As I successfully created the dataset, I would like to share my story with you all. Hence, I will walk you through my Jupyter-Notebook.
