Scrape a Website Every Day

There’s lots of information out there on the web, and not all of it is accessible via API. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to “scrape” a website and read the data with a package like BeautifulSoup.

Here’s a Scheduled Task that runs every morning, finds the Quote of the Day from Wikiquote, and sends it to you by email. It uses the BeautifulSoup package to get the data (see how to install it) and pyspace’s built-in anvil.email API to send the email.
