Course Description

This course will teach you how to treat the internet as a data source. We will learn how to scrape, analyze, and read web data, as well as how to access web APIs. We will be working with HTML, XML and JSON data formats in Python. This course will cover Chapters 1-10 of the book "Python for Everybody". This course will require you to be familiar with Chapters 1-10 and the first two courses of this specialization in order to succeed. These topics include variables, expressions, conditional execution (loops and branching and try/except), functions and Python data structures (strings and lists, dictionaries and tuples), as well as manipulating files. This course covers Python 3.
