Course Description

In this course, you will learn the Fundamentals of XPath, Selenium, and the Web Scraping Process. We will cover the fundamentals, and afterwards, we are going to scrape data from real websites. The first real-life project will be the extraction of data from Yelp, and the next project will cover the scraping process of tables. But before we start with this Real Life Project, you will get familiar with all the basic knowledge that is required to complete it. Whenever you have a question, don't hesitate to ask in the forum section. Either I or the other students will reply to your question as soon as possible.

After completing this course, you will be confident using Selenium for Web Scraping in your personal Projects. Especially for Data Scientists it is important to be able to extract the data they need to analyze and work with. You will get downloadable files so that you can refer to all the topics that we have covered in this course. This course will be updated on a regular basis. My goal is that all my students understand the concepts of Selenium, XPath, and the whole Web Scraping Process. For this course, it's good to know the very basics of Python Programming.

Disclaimer: I teach web scraping as a tutor for educational purposes. That's it.

The first rule of scraping the web is: do not harm a certain website. The second rule of web crawling is: do not harm a certain website.
