Introduction to Web Scraping
Welcome to the course! Today, we will begin exploring how web scraping works.
There are numerous methods in python for extracting data. Let's compare the most popular libraries for web scraping: Requests, Beautiful Soup, lxml, and Selenium.
Throughout this course, our primary focus will be on the first two libraries. However, it's worth noting that selenium and lxml are incredibly powerful tools:
- Selenium enables JavaScript support, a programming language that allows developers to interact with dynamic fields and menus;
- lxml facilitates working with both HTML and XML files.
