I used this recently to scrape a bunch of online restaurant reviews by a guy who I really like, use regex to get the postcode from the markup, do a geocode using postcodes.io, then plot the reviews on a Google map. It took about two / three hours and felt kinda dirty in a good way. Beautiful Soup made the first part really easy.

Hmm, cool project idea but if the subject doesn't know you're doing this, it is a bit weird to stalk their online footprint. Unless you mean the person is a professional restaurant reviewer and you like their opinion. Oh well, good luck either way.

  Yes, they're a professional reviewer and I enjoy their reviews.
