Web scraper in Python

Web scraping is a technique for extracting data from websites by parsing the HTML or XML code of web pages. It can be useful for collecting data for various purposes, such as data mining, data analysis, and machine learning.

There are many ways to perform web scraping in Python, including using libraries like Beautiful Soup, Selenium, and Scrapy.

Here is an example of using the Beautiful Soup library to scrape data from a simple HTML page:

import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup # Send a GET request to the website response = requests.get('https://www.example.com') # Parse the HTML content of the page soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser') # Find all the 'p' elements with the class 'text' elements = soup.find_all('p', class_='text') # Extract the text from the elements texts = [element.text for element in elements] # Print the texts print(texts)

This code sends a GET request to the specified website, and then uses Beautiful Soup to parse the HTML content of the page. It then searches for all 'p' elements with the class 'text', extracts the text from these elements, and prints it.

You can find more information and examples of web scraping in Python in the official documentation and various online tutorials.
