Web scraping en Python

Learn the structure of HTML. We begin by explaining why web scraping can be a valuable addition to your data science toolbox and then delving into some basics of HTML. We end the chapter by giving a brief introduction on XPath notation, which is used to navigate the elements within HTML code.

Leverage XPath syntax to explore scrapy selectors. Both of these concepts will move you towards being able to scrape an HTML document.

Learn CSS Locator syntax and begin playing with the idea of chaining together CSS Locators with XPath. We also introduce Response objects, which behave like Selectors but give us extra tools to mobilize our scraping efforts across multiple websites.

Learn to create web crawlers with scrapy. These scrapy spiders will crawl the web through multiple pages, following links to scrape each of those pages automatically according to the procedures we've learned in the previous chapters.
