I am getting 0% accuracy on submitting the csv file

#1

According to me, I have done all the steps correctly to scrap a shopping website and I am also getting the expected result then why I am getting 0% accuracy. Is it due to  which gets added automatically before a special character?

hey @Mohit2000 ,
Yes it is the reason, because as to score higher the submission should have the same values as in the checking script else it wont be scored.

I hope this helps.

When I am seeing my csv file in jupyter notebook, it is not showing  but when I opened the same file in ms word, it is showing Â. Do I have to remove  in ms word then submit the csv file?

#4

Just go with what you see in jupyter notebook , MS word by default decodes some unicodes , hence you wont see that there.

#5

hey @Mohit2000 , can you please share your submission file once , so that i can check and be sure on what actually is wrong .

hey @Mohit2000 ,
the problem your submission records consists extra qoutes, which might have been while saving the file using write commands.
I suggest you to store this file using pandas and then check your results.

#8

I have written df to a new csv file using pandas (df.to_csv('filename.csv)) but my result accuracy is 0% again. Please help!

#9

There were extra quotations in csv file which I realised but now accuracy is 97%

#10

thats good.
You might be using scrapy to do this task ,right?
I would say that , kindly use Beautiful Soup to get this done ,
i don’t know the reason why it is so , but yeah i have got this from many students that scrapy produces such result.

#11

I have used beautiful soup only to scrap this website.

hey @Mohit2000 ,
There is no issue in your submission file.
I just found out that there is a small error in actual file being used to check the results.
I have requested the mentors to update the same.
Your task is done successfully. Don’t worry.
