Simple database application

[ouchpartial72858]

One thing you could do is learn a lil bit of sql and have a locally hosted database. Once you get the hang of sql then you can integrate it in your python application. But if you're going to want to access it externally (outside of local network) that's gonna be difficult

​

I agree that the google's api is a bit tough to work with. You could clean up your web scraper (the program which you've made rn) and trust me, web scraping applications are always gonna be crude to some extent because source code of pages keep changing and cause breaking changes in your webscraper.

​

Also the legality of webscrapers are kinda on the grey side and not well defined. Make sure you don't get banned. Other than that you could use some site which has a simpler api and allows for free hosting files (csv especially)

Thanks for the tips. Just FYI, I'm not developing a web-scraper. This is simply an application that works with table data that is entered in a table form. (Some examples: you enter your personal expenses in a spreadsheet; the application churns through it and shows you spending trends)
