WHAT IS WEB SCRAPING

• Web scraping is the process of using bots to extract content and data from a
website. Unlike screen scraping, which only copies pixels displayed onscreen,
web scraping extracts underlying HTML code and, with it, data stored in a
database. The scraper can then replicate entire website content elsewhere.
CHARACTERISTICS

• Automation: Web scraping is typically automated, using scripts or tools to extract data efficiently
from websites.
• Data Extraction: The primary purpose is to extract specific information or data elements from web
pages, such as text, images, or links.
• Dynamic Content Handling: Web scrapers can navigate through dynamic content generated by
JavaScript, allowing extraction from modern, interactive websites.
• Structured and Unstructured Data: It can handle both structured data (tables, lists) and unstructured
data (text, images) on web pages.
• Frequency: Scraping can be done as a one-time
time task or on a regular basis for continuous data
updates.
USES

• Data Collection: Gathering information for research or analysis.


• Competitor Analysis: Monitoring competitors’ pricing, products, or strategies.
• Market Research: Extracting trends, reviews, or user opinions.
• Price Comparison: Tracking prices of products across different websites.
• Content Aggregation: Creating comprehensive databases or directories.
• Social Media Monitoring: Collecting data from social platforms for analysis.
• News Aggregation: Extracting news articles or updates from multiple sources.
FEATURES & RELATIONS

• HTML Parsing: Capabilities to parse HTML and extract relevant data from the structure of web
pages.
• Selector Mechanism: Tools provide a way to select specific elements on a webpage, like CSS
selectors or Xpath,, to target the data for extraction.
• Automation: Automation of interactions with websites, including form submissions and navigating
through pages.
• Data Cleaning: Functions to clean and preprocess extracted data, removing unnecessary tags or
formatting.
• Concurrency: Support for concurrent processing, enabling faster extraction of data from multiple
sources simultaneously.
EXAMPLE &IT’S APPLICATION
Replace ‘https://example-blog.com’’ with the URL of the
website you want to scrape. Adjust the HTML tags and
structure based on the specific elements you’re interested
in. Always ensure compliance with the website’s terms of
service and legal requirements.
CONCLUSION

• Web scraping is a powerful technique used for extracting data from websites,
offering valuable insights for various purposes such as research, analysis, and
monitoring. Implementing web scraping involves selecting a programming
language, installing necessary libraries like BeautifulSoup and requests,
understanding the website structure, making HTTP requests, parsing HTML
content, and extracting the desired data.
