Given a piece of digital artwork, we want to be able to find the artist's online tags and socials. Both to credit them more easily and be able to find more of their works.
Inspiration: I follow artists/art aggregators on twitter and insta and sometimes I see a piece of art that I like, and there's no credit so I can't follow the artist. I wanted to solve that issue for myself.
What it does: It takes image URL and returns an artist name
How we built it: It was designed entirely in python. We use flask to display a simple frontend UI, and we call the backend from the Flask file
Challenges we ran into: There a couple of pains with regex trying to parse the HTML files that we scraped with bs4/selenium
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We're proud that we have something that works with some test cases honestly. We're a small team, and one of us needed to get some rest during the night bc of some injuries sustained earlier, so our working time got cut into a bit. We're glad we finished
What we learned: Experience with search API, TwiPy, and Flask
