Web scraping is a method used to extract data from websites. It involves programmatically downloading web pages and parsing their HTML to extract the necessary information. It can be used to harvest data for the purpose of statistical analysis, training machine learning models, and creating alerts. In this talk, we'll discuss how to use basic programming skills in Python to scrape the web. We'll examine the technical and ethical aspects of the method, as well as practical applications.
