Scraping movie directors from a BBC list of movies, find out where is their birthplace and then map it using Mapbox GL.

Programming languages used: Python (Pandas, BeautifulSoup), Javascript.

Step 1: To create a list of movies and movie critics into a dataframe. The list was scraped from this website: http://floatingmedia.com/columbia/BBC.html

Step 2: Find out where directors from that list were born by scraping IMDB website - https://imdb.com/

Step 3: MAPPING with MAPBOX Using HERE (https://developer.here.com/) to get latitude and longitude. Use the information to create a Mapbox map using Javascript/HTML.

This was part of a final project for a introduction to programming class at Columbia University/School of Journalism

Obs: the code won't work unless you get an API key here(https://developer.here.com/) and add the code where it says " API_KEY ="

Final result: Where were the people who directed these movies born?
