Welcome to BobTech! In this first episode of our web scraping series, I walk you through the basics of web scraping using Python—with a focus on simulating a login on a mock website. In this video, you'll learn how to:

• Understand the fundamentals of HTTP requests and sessions

• Use the requests library to send a POST request and simulate user login

• Utilize BeautifulSoup to parse HTML and extract data

• Inspect a webpage to identify elements like login forms and tables

• See the raw HTML response and verify that our login was successful

This tutorial is designed for beginners and covers all the essential steps you need to start automating data collection from web pages. Grab your code editor, follow along with the examples.
