This is the code from the article I published on Medium

It describes a method to retrieve the number of votes as published on CNN live story hour by hour.

You can find a bash script to download the Json files from the live story news site. Those Json files are also provided in this repository, they contain links to the images I am processing in the article (or you can download the images there)

Have a look to the Jupyter notebook to get more insight on the python code.

Python requirements:

• pandas
• scikit-image
• Pillow
• tqdm
• requests
• ipyplots
• pytesseract
• matplotlib
