A project for a new updated viewer of public art in the city of Honolulu
View Project
This project provides an updated interface to view and navigate through public art projects in Honolulu. The information comes from the Mayor's Office Culture and Arts (MOCA).
The current existing project (art.honolulu.gov) was last updated a decade ago. This project is an initiative to update the existing project with a new and refreshed user interface.
Using Python, we scrape the information from MOCA's object portal and merge it with the existing Public Art Open Portal Dataset (This dataset contains latitude/longitude coordinates, although outdated). We then use this combined information to present the data in our interface.
scrape_search.py- Scrapes the City and County of Honolulu Art in City Buildings Online Collections Database searching page by page collecting urls to each of the collection objects
- Example Use:
python scrape_search.py scraped_object_urls.txt
scrape_object_details.py- Iterates over a list of object urls and collects details from each of them
- Example Use:
