Description
Have you ever thought about how important is data in our everyday life?
It doesn't matter if you're a data scientist, data analyst, or programmer, getting access to the data you need is important! This is why some of the top Fortune 500 companies such as Walmart, Target, and CNN use web scraping to stay ahead with data. We can say this is one of their best secret weapons.
Welcome to Web Scraping in Python with BeautiuflSoup, Selenium, and Scrapy!
The most complete and project-oriented course. In this course, we're going to learn web scraping solving cool projects that will help us scrape data off some of the most well-known websites. To name a few:
Amazon Audible
Twitter
Google
Football Stats
Worldometers
Movie pages
This is the most complete web scraping course in Python and is split into 3 parts: BeautiuflSoup, Selenium, and Scrapy. My goal is that you become an expert in web scraping. This is why only 10% of the content of this course is focused on Beautiful Soup, while 40% is dedicated to Selenium and 50% to Scrapy.
Why I built the course this way?
Beautiful Soup has a lot of limitations, but it's still useful for a gentle introduction to web scraping. In contrast, if you learn Selenium you will be able to scrape any website. and if you add Scrapy to your toolkit you will be able to scrape any website faster than with any other web scraping library. Throughout this course, you will see the power of web scraping with each Python library.
What makes this course different from the others, and why you should enroll?
This is the most updated and complete web scraping course in Python. You will be using Python 3.7, Scrapy 2.4, Selenium 3.1 and BS4
This is the most project-based course you will find. We will scrape many of the most well-known websites
You will have an in-depth step by step guide on how to become a professional web scraper.
