Description

This simple tool scrapes drug names from druginfo.nlm.nih.gov using bs4 and requests.

This script is designed to pull drug names from the website and return a pandas dataframe for use in various applications. I am not responsible for any misuse of this script. It implements a sleeping time to limit the rate of requests to the website.

Usage

from drug_scraper import DrugScraper
ds = DrugScraper()
df = ds.get_drug_names()
