Along the way, Ryan will share case studies, scenarios, and humorous anecdotes from the trenches of data wrangling. This course will cover:• Web page analysis and HTML parsing with BeautifulSoup • Using Scrapy to build crawlers• Best practices and engineering patterns for working with multiple data sources, data types, distributed scraping, and more• Selenium and browser automation• Common scraper-blocking tactics and how to avoid them• Integrating with third-party services such as ScraperAPI and ZyteREQUIREMENTSTo get the most out of this course, students should have an intermediate working knowledge of the Python programming language. Some experience with databases and data architecture is helpful, but not required. Come prepared with a laptop running Python 3.8+.
