Python for Web Scraping and APIs Online Course

R

I recently worked with a great team at 365 Data Science to create an extensive online Python for Web Scraping and APIs course! The course is now available on Udemy. Check it out here!

The course covers many important topics, including the following:

  • All about APIs: Get and Post requests
  • HTML syntax – what’s it for and why is it useful for web scraping
  • BeautifulSoup – scraping links, text, and other elements from a webpage
  • How to easily scrape tables from webpages
  • How to automatically download files from the web
  • Handling modern challenges: how to scrape JavaScript-rendered webpages
  • Exploring the requests-html package, a powerful alternative to BeautifulSoup
