Data science has always recognized the importance of tools that allow for the retrieval and analysis of information stored on the Internet. This course will show you how to navigate HTML code and create tools that automatically crawl websites. Although we will be using the Python library scrapy to scrape, many of these techniques can be used with other Python libraries like BeautifulSoup and Selenium. This course will give you a solid understanding of the html structure and the tools needed to access it. It is also possible to create simple scrapy spiders which can crawl the web on a large scale.
