Web scraping is the process of automatically extracting information from websites. It involves fetching web pages, parsing their content, and extracting relevant data for further analysis or use. Python is a popular programming language for web scraping due to its robust libraries and ease of use.
There are several libraries in Python that are commonly used for web scraping.
- Beautiful Soup: A powerful library for parsing HTML and XML documents.
- Requests: A library for making HTTP requests and handling responses.
Install the necessary libraries using pip. For example, to install Beautiful Soup and Requests use the following command
pip install beautifulsoup4 requests
Use the requests library to send an HTTP GET request to the URL of the webpage you want to scrape.
