web-scraper-for-IDSP

The programme is for scrapping IDSP website (https://idsp.nic.in/index4.php?lang=1&level=0&linkid=406&lid=3689). IDSP website is maintained by the Government of India. The web scraper is written in Python 3.7.5 on Windows 10 64 bit platform. It can download the weekly reports and store it in specified folder, if the folder is not there, then it would create on its own. The range of weeks can be varied as per requirement. N.B.: (1) It is suggested that the range of weeks be kept within considerable range as some of the PDF files on IDSP website are broken e.g. 4th week of 2017 (https://idsp.nic.in/WriteReadData/l892s/15XXXXXXXXXXXX435411.pdf) (2) Just like any other programmer, I too have taken help from different online platforms, while writing the code.
