Learning Neo4j with Garbage Television

I like social network data, and I want to learn graph databases, specifically neo4j. I do not like the 'romantic competition' shows; The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise. I do like the sheer amount of scrapable data these shows expose on wikipedia.

These scripts show my attempts at learning to:

• Scrape semi-structured wikipedia data
• Create and update a Neo4j graph database
• Write a decent document describing the above

The current results give you a network of the players and their starred-in and competed-in relationships with the various seasons of the various shows. Red node show players, and blue nodes show the individual seasons.

To Use

You'll need to pip install a few things:

• BeautifulSoup
  • pip install beautifulsoup4
• The neo4j python driver
  • pip install neo4j
• wikipedia-ql
  • pip install wikipedia_ql

You'll also need to install neo4j and have a local graph database running, with address and auth info to match what's in the scripts. You can get started here
