I used request and cheerio to scrape the Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy and create an API with all the entries' titles and URLs. The app allows the user to search for an article, with a custom-made autocomplete widget that allows them to view the closest matches and visit the relevant encyclopedia entry.
