scraping ownership projections #23

Closed kacperadach closed 8 years ago

kacperadach commented 8 years ago

scrapes the projected ownership percentages. Works as is, gotta clean it up a bit. Also I have to store a cookie here because that site has a captcha if you try and use a bare request. Curious to see if this will continue working or if the cookie might expire.

Yah I can't say I'm in support of hard coding a cookie into version control. Our scraping stuff is already pretty fragile as is - I don't think it's too big an ask to download another file. Let me think it over...

Up to you, I just threw this together because I was bored. Could write a selenium task to download the csv :)

Closing unless you want to add some selenium stuff like we discussed that grabs the cookie.
