How to web scrape with Python | Scraping websites with Python Requests, Beautiful Soup, and Selenium

Sometimes when you want to build a program, you need access to data that you don't have. Using a combination of the requests and beautiful soup libraries, we can get that data from websites online. In this video, we will go over the things that you need to know to get started web scraping using Python such as learning HTML and using the web developer tools to facilitate your work. I also talk about how you should change the method for web scraping using the requests_html library or Selenium when you encounter websites that use a lot of JavaScript as is common with single-page web applications (SPAs) and other sites that use JavaScript to dynamically load HTML content.
