Inspiration
Not enough real-time data on the environmental impact of public transportation in Chicago.
What it does
We built a website that displays graphs and tracks real-time data to keep accurate metrics.
How we built it
We used the Flask python module to create a simple website and the CTA's API to count the number of active buses and trains.
Challenges we ran into
The web server was error prone and difficult to work with. We also had far more trouble processing the data the CTA's API provided than we had originally projected.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Successfully using the CTA's API to extract real-time data and meaningfully integrate it with data analysis.
What we learned
We learned to extract web data through beautiful soup, and create graphs with matplotlib.
