See the in-depth capabilities of Python’s web scraping toolsPython is a high-level programming language used for general-purpose programming. It has a design philosophy which emphasizes code readability and a syntax which allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java.This video course is a rich collection of recipes that will come in handy when you are scraping a website using Python, addressing your usual and unusual problems while scraping websites by diving deep into the capabilities of Python’sweb scraping tools such as Selenium, BeautifulSoup, and urllib2. The video will start with showing how to use selenium module for scraping by setting up a web driver, debugging with the Console and downloading files and streamlining with a Headless Browser (PhantomJS). The video will then move on to demonstrate how to do parsing with Beautifulsoup which would include introduction to the BeautifulSoupObjects, Nested Selectors and Regular Expressions Basics and how to do UTF-8 Encoding. The video will finally end by showing how to do fetching with urlib2 by using the developer tools Network tab, how to bypass the browser and retrieve files.By The end of this video, you will be successfully able to understand the in-depth capabilities of python web scraping tools.About the AuthorCharles Clayton is a sole proprietor of crclayton technologies co and an independent web developer. He is an experienced developer and Python specialist in Python web scraping solutions and tools such asSelenium, BeautifulSoup,and urllib2. He has 2 years of experience as a Reliability Engineer with West frazweer.

Scraping with Selenium 6 lectures 40:53 The Course Overview This video provides an overview of the entire course. When to Web Scrape This video aims to explain the course’s expected prerequisite knowledge and system requirements, then introduce the concept of web scraping, situations in which you may want to use it,and why it is a valuable skill to know.
  • Understand the scope of the course.
  • Understand the applications of web scraping.
  • Understand how it will help you in your day-to-day life.
What Makes up a Website Without understanding the foundations of web development, it is challenging to write efficient and robust web scraping scripts, so we will cover how a website is structured and how to locate data with precision.
  • Understanding the basics of HTML tags and properties.
  • Understanding CSS and how it relates to our goal.
  • Applying CSS selectors to cleanly identify our desired data.
How to Interact with a Website In order to query a website to scrape data from it, we need to see how the website is structured in its underlying code. We also need an application that will let us test our queries.To do this, we will learn about the element explorer and console of the Chrome Developer Tools.
  • Open your browser’s developer tools.
  • Use the Element Explorer to identify our desired data.
  • Use the Console to test and debug our selectors.
Using the Selenium Module Now we know how to create CSS selectors and use the Chrome developer tools to look at HTML and construct a query, but how do we turn this into a Python script? We use the selenium module and a web driver.
  • Download the ChromeDriverWebDriver.
  • Install the Selenium module for Python.
  • Use these to write Python code to automate the browser..
Ethical Web Scraping Now that we know how to web scrape with Python, we need to be aware of the ethical and legal ramifications associated with web scraping. Mainly, the solution is to be considerate and use common sense.
  • Understand your script’s effect on a website.
  • Read a website’s terms and conditions.
  • Take steps to mitigate the stress your script imposes.
