Web Scraping

Web Scraping is a method used to extract large amounts of data from websites where the data is extracted and saved to a local file in your computer or to a database in table (spreadsheet) format. Coursera's web scraping catalogue teaches you the fundamentals of scraping and parsing data from websites using a variety of tools and methods. You'll learn how to automate the process of data extraction, understand the structure of web pages, use libraries and packages to facilitate scraping, handle obstacles like CAPTCHA and JavaScript-protected pages, and adhere to legal and ethical considerations in web scraping. This skill is particularly useful for data scientists, researchers, digital marketers, and anyone keen on harnessing the power of data available on the web.
