All the essential concepts from the beginning with clear unfolding with examples in Python.
Practical explanation and live coding with Python.
Every theoretical explanation that'll be followed by practical implementation.
Browser working and communication with the server.
Requests as well as responses to and from the server.
Parsing the data in response from the server.
Difference between Synchronous and Asynchronous requests.
Different tools that are used for data scraping, namely: Requests, BS4, Scrapy, Selenium.
Comprehensive comparison between Requests, BS4, Scrapy, and Selenium.
Replicating requests using the Python Requests Module for getting the data from the server.
Using BS4 for parsing the response data from the server.
The understanding of BS4 parsers functions for getting the data out of the HTML.
Using Scrapy for writing the spiders for crawling websites and extracting data.
Using Selenium for understanding the automation and control of the web flows.
Requirements
Basic understanding of HTML tags.
Familiarity with Python.
No prior knowledge of data scraping is needed. You start right from the basics and then gradually build your knowledge of the subject.
A willingness to learn and practice.
Since we teach by practical implementations, practice is a must thing to do.
Description
Comprehensive Course Description:
Data scraping is the technique of extracting data from the internet. Data scraping is used for getting the data available on different websites and APIs. This also involves automating the web flows for extracting the data from different web pages.
The course 'Data Scraping and Data Mining from Beginner to Professional' is crafted to cover the topics that result in the development of the most in-demand skills in the workplace. These topics will help you understand the concepts and methodologies with regard to Python. The course is:
Easy to understand.
Imaginative and descriptive.
Comprehensive.
Practical with live coding.
Full of quizzes with solutions.
Rich with state-of-the-art and updated knowledge of this field.
This course is designed for beginners. We'll spend sufficient time to lay a solid groundwork for newbies. Then, we will go far deep gradually with a lot of practical implementations where every step will be explained in detail.
As this course is essentially a compilation of all the basics, you will move ahead at a steady rate. You will experience more than what you have learned. At the end of every concept, we will be assigning you Home Work/assignments/activities/quizzes along with solutions. They will assess / (further build) your learning based on the previous data scraping and data mining concepts and methods. Most of these activities are designed to get you up and running with implementations.
The 4 hands-on projects included in this course are the most important part of this course. These projects allow you to experiment for yourself with trial and error. You will learn from your mistakes. Importantly, you will understand the potential gaps that may exist between theory and practice.
