About This Course

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone interested in analyzing data
  • Anyone who doesn’t know how to start gathering data
  • Anyone who wants to develop their ability to scrape data
  • Anyone interested in starting with web scraping
  • Anyone who is interested in expanding their Python knowledge
  • Anyone who wants to gather a wide array of data to play with

What you’ll learn: 

  • Tackle new challenges by understand the underlying method/approach to take
  • Scrape static web pages
  • Be able to scrape websites that use JavaScript
  • Extract all sorts of data from websites
  • Know what to look for and how to approach parsing a website

Web scraping is the art of picking out data from a website by looking at the HTML code and identifying patterns that can be used to identify your data. This data can then be gathered and later used for your own analysis.

In this course we will go over the basic of web scraping, python web scraping tools, learning all about how we can extract data from websites, and all of this is guided along by a work example.

At the end of the course you should be able to go off on your own, and pick out most common websites, and be able to extract all the relevant data you may need just through using Python code.

Our Promise to You

By the end of this course, you will have learned web scraping using Python.
