Reading a Live Ticker Part III: Get your live data with Screen Parsing

The next part is about capturing the images from our computer screen. I wrote a small python script (in my Github repository), that captures the 13 digits of the German “Schuldenuhr” (dept-clock). I used this site , which has a continuous update on the German dept. The script iterates over the 13 digits, account for “.” between every third digit and saves them as a 28×28 pixel image. The parameters are currently working with my monitor (resolution: 1920 x 1080) and the Google Chrome browser. Depending on your monitor, or changes to the page, you need to adapt some parameters.
