Python crawler - Taiwan Pay ATM Maps

---

Introduction

Taiwan Pay provides an overseas withdrawal service which the transaction fee is cheaper than wire transfer's. It's an useful service for foreign travellers if they have no cash. see Taiwan Pay.

The problem is where are those ATMs. Taiwan Pay provides a search function to search the information of ATMs. see Taiwan Pay search ATMs. It's good enough but most of foreign travellers may not know about the system of address in other countries so that they have no idea how to input the keywords.
