Web Scraping Essentials with Python, Requests, and BeautifulSoup will teach you one of the hottest topics of the Data Science Industry.

Web Scraping (also known as Web Data Extraction, Web Harvesting, Web Crawling, etc.) is a technique used to extract large amounts of data from websites and save the extracted data into a local file or to a database.

In this course, you will learn how to perform web scraping using Python 3, Requests, and BeautifulSoup, probably the most used open-source library written in Python for parsing HTML documents.

Since this is intermediate Python you are required to already master the basics of Python before enrolling in this class. My advice is to first check my other classes on Python published here on SkillShare; they will help you build a strong foundation of Python Programming Language.

In this course, you'll get the Web Scraping skills in Python to move ahead!

Instructor's Courses

I've been a Network and Software Engineer for over 15 years, the typical profile of a DevOps Engineer.

I've cofounded Crystal Mind Academy, a Cisco Academy and professional training center in Romania, that focuses on teaching cutting-edge technologies to students.

I have contributed to education in areas of programming, information security and operating systems. During the last 12 years more than 20,000 thousand students have participated in-person or online training programs at Crystal Mind Academy.

I have developed documentation, labs and case studies for many training programs such as Cisco CCNA, CCNA Security, CCNP, Linux Administration, Information Security, Python Programming, Network Automation with Python or Blockchain Programming (Ethereum/Solidity) which have been successfully attended by thousands over the years.

When I'm not working, I crossfit, read a good book, enjoy a good time or travel with my wife and children.
