With so many local pizza options we wanted to help people find the best deals around! We sought out to compare prices of local pizza places, rank them, and then call and order the food. Our project uses uipath to scrape data off of a website for menu items and prices. We created an algorithm that sorts menu items based on their price from all the local pizza places. Returning us the best deals in town.
We did the scraping using the uiPath studio. They had excellent pattern matching features that allowed us to specify data to be scraped (in this case menu items and their prices) from the html. We generalized this approach to multiple URLs getting all this web data into text files. We then had a python script sort these listing by price and return them. We also have a small script using twilio that will call saying it would like to order pizza, but due to technical restrictions we couldn't connect these last two pieces together and get it to really order for you, if the pizza places would accept TTS.
