Intro to Web Scraping in Python | April 22, 4:15 to 6:15pm | Computer Lab C196.03 | Patrick Smyth
In this workshop, students will learn how to write Python scripts to pull data from the web programmatically. Students will learn about the Requests library, Python’s built-in string functions, and the basics of storing data locally. Students will also be introduced to more advanced libraries for scraping, including lxml and BeautifulSoup. Some familiarity with Python will be useful, but is not required.
