Scraping Gold

This was posted on 2020-11-01

 For a future project, I wanted to try and get the history of the price of gold. I did a bit of scouting and landed on the history page of goldprice.org. However, the data was in a chart and I wanted to extract it to a table.

To do this, I wrote a very short web scraping tool which scrapes the data off the chart and formats the data points as a numpy array on python.

The GitHub code can be found here.
