Web Scraping Crash Course! With Python and Scrapy [PyOhio 2023]

PyOhio

Talk by James Walters at PyOhio 2023:

APIs are a great way to consume publicly accessible data. But what do you do when there's no API? Enter web scraping: a way you can harvest data out of the same HTML documents you look at in your web browser.

We'll talk about:

* What is web scraping?

* What is Scrapy and why should you use it?

* How to scrape data from HTML elements in a web page

Source code for the example project in the talk will be available!
