Wikipedia timeline

This is a webpage where you can find every Wikipedia article dated between two dates.

You can't find every article, only the ones I was able to scrape.

You can check it out at jonny.sytes.net/wikipedia

How it works

This works by scraping all the possible wikipedia articles and getting their dates. After that, everything else is storing it on a database and looking it up. The scraping is done by scraper.py.

Self host

In order to host this webpage yourself:

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/Jonny-exe/wiki-timeline
2. Install all requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Run the website with: python3 manage.py runserver 8080
4. You will see the website on: 127.0.0.1

If you want to use pre-scraped articles, download the sqlite database, in the releases, and move it to the root directory.
