Hey guys what's up before we get started smash that subscribe button, like this share it i am giving away a fucking gift card follow the links to my merch watch my ads really helps thanks okay...roll that intro *45 second intro*
It helps so much to have someone that matches your personality when learning stuff. I can't stand when asking someone for instructions on how to do something and they tell me everything that I can expect and every once i a while throw in the thing I'm supposed to do next. None of the fluff here. Just context. Every other creator would/has made this subject a 45min+ video but here I am feeling proficient after just 14 minutes with EM. Thank you, Sir!
I was struggling to navigate to iterate through second span tag in multiple td tags I.e. (tr[1:]/td[0]/span[1]) I was trying it the whole day. This is the best tutorial I have seen. Thank youuuuu.
Hey man! I watched this and applied the concepts to a weather site and made a csv of all the sunset / sunrises in 2019! Thank you! Please I love the way you explain things keep making videos sir! I have applied your teaching in a couple videos and it’s great! Learning so much!
Real Nice content! Straight to the point. I’ve played around with beautiful soup a few years ago for an small project, and I just wish this video was around at the time....
This is remarkable, very informative and down to the earth - I really love this concise format of yours which is rather contradictory to what most of ppl on yt are providing
Great video again. I've been playing web scraping a while and I find that most of websites nowadays using javascript rendering quite heavy. Will you make a part 2 for talking about how to web scrape javascript rendering website? And what do you think about another web scraping package, Scrapy? thanks Man
You're definitely skilled! For anyone watching these videos, don't get discouraged, this takes time. @Engineer Man , Can you talk about the experience of learning how at the beginning of your videos?
Happy that you've chosen this topic. I've been exploring web scraping and have a script that works pretty well on a site that I frequent. Another awesome tool that can be used to also automate web navigation is the selenium package. But on more of a question-related note, I know the script you just made was pretty simple, and the one I have isn't that complicated, but I've been wondering how one would go about writing an object-oriented script for scraping?
Selenium can be used as a web scraper, but I use it more for web navigation and then use beautiful soup to actually get the data I need from the pages once they've been navigated to. I just find beautiful soup to be a more intuitive for extracting the data.
With selenium it is like an automated user, and when you use it, you require a web driver, and you can choose if you want the automated browser to run in the background or not. I recently used selenium because I was trying to request for content behind a microsoft login page, which is loaded using javascript, thus I needed to wait till the content was actually loaded finish before i submit anything. Unlike requests, which instantly retrieves the page content.
In your browser go to next page and copy the url of, say, page 2 and go to last to find the last page url. Use that as a template to build the url of each page you want. Loop over them in turn.
John Keymer nope you’re not parsing the page a second time to find the next button. You scrape the current page and then grab the neat page by creating the string for the next url and accessing the next page - just one grab per page.
Really nice content! You explain just enough to be clear but not too much that's perfect. Please continue to remind the type of the elements you create, it's very important for beginners.
Hey, question. Your python craigslist scammed video. Why turn off comments? I had questions. Now I’m in another video to ask about it. Basically just wanted to know if the person who’s DB you tried to flood would be able to just delete all post made from your IP address?
Beautiful video man! Really valuable information here. As a sysadmin with over 10 years experience, I can state its really clean method of scraping. I was used to use bash scripts for everything but using libraries in python is sooo helpful. It would be a pain in the as in bash with awk, grep, etc. I hope to see more soon
This is an awesome video, I actually enjoy the in depth walk through of what your reasoning behind writing code is, step by step. Versus just saying " I did this" and not really explaining anything. On a separate note , I'm looking to get into python, and I have previous code development experience, but It's been a little while, and setting up an environment to start doing some coding is a bit daunting. I'm looking to do more on the machine learning , neural networks side of things. I don't struggle with any of the logic, mathematics, but I know there are many pros/cons of various IDE's . Some have better support for various packages , etc.. I was wondering if you could either make a video on some of this information, or maybe throw a few pointers my way. I would really appreciate that. Otherwise, keep up the great content!!!
I've found that I really like using Microsoft's VS Code (not to be confused with Visual Studio). The IDE has a good clean interface, lots of extension support, and a built-in terminal.
Hey great video! Lets say in your last leaderboard example, I would like to get notified when the leaderboard has changed, so to say when something changed on the site. I have built a script where I can see the HASH change, but I cant output what actually changed on to website, do you have any tips to how to monitor what actually changed on the website?
How do you scrape something like TH-cam comments (without using TH-cam api)? When I get the html data for a video using requests library, the video's comments are not their in the html data.
Hey I love you videos ! You explain everything so well. I am trying to scrape some websites but they don't allow me because of their bot protection... Do you have any tips about this ? Thanks
I got this problem too. In my case I have solved that by changing a type of my request, now it includes *headers*. You need to look up for the data of your headers in your web browser. You should visit google.com page, press ctrl+shift+I, in opened console find "network", and search necessary elements there. In in the other words, the solution is adding "headers", I hope the information will help you. Example: headers = {"accept" : "your accept symbols", "user_agent", "your user agent string" session = requests.Session() request_variable = session.get(url, headers) P.S. I am from Russian, I was not using a translating while typing it, I hope you were able to understand me.
@Engineer Man , what is your day job? And how did you get into coding? Do you have a CS degree? and.... well instead of more questions, rather just ask whats your background (ito what lead to you adding so much value with these vids)?
Amazing video. How did you decide to select 0,1,3 on your code. For example, on line 14,15,16. place = tr.find_all('td')[0].text.strip() why the Zero, One and Three?
Do you know any website or application that gives this sort of challenges? I have mostly learned python but in practice still don't know what to do with it yet.
Hey E-man Great video! I wanted to ask you this. You said that "you have to know the structure of html before doing scraping from websites" which is true but I need to create a process where I can search a keyword or basically a word on multiple websites and get the content out of those websites. Now from this content, I will create a sentiment value and generate a newsfeed in my application with a sentiment value in it. Can you suggest a way I can do that? Thanks in Advance
Using Selenium to do the site navigation to get you logged in is how I worked around getting into a site that requires login credentials prior to scraping.
I did it because view source represents the content that was delivered to the browser on load whereas inspect represents the content currently on the page. Since the scraper doesn't see anything dynamically generated, view source is best.
I have difficulties to soup data with some tags in HTML files like . I use soup = BeautifulSoup(myfile, 'html.parser') and all the link tags turned out to be tranformed to . How come
Wow, I liked this video so much! It was very useful! 😄 You really have helped me a lot, it was well and fully explained, with real life examples Thank you so much for this tutorial! 👏👏
love your tutorials. I tried following your method to scrape a site, but the output is empty. when I checked the 'tr' throughout the source code, it has values, but I do not understand why the output is empty.
but how do we scrape the nowdays web that uses javascript framework that if we look at "view page source" we dont see html tag anymore. bcause it is wraped already with js
loved it ! Efficiency and very clear for a beginner. Would be great to have the login part, and why not sending the extraction into a csv file ;) I subscribe ;)
is there somebody who did extract the data of the golf website, like getting all the names, numbers and emails of the club contacts but without regex instead using beautiful soup? I'm stuck there and would appreciate some help. I also wrote my problem in the EM discord channel in python
Yes! A great tutorial on web scraping! Now I got some ideas on some websites I could scrape for data... What kind of real-world applications could this be used for? With websites providing APIs with the data nicely packaged in JSON format, it seems like getting data via APIs seems to be the better (or at least the most common way) to do this. Are there any situations where web scraping would be better?

Oh god I'm not gonna be able to unhear that any time soon.
This is THE best beautifulsoup tutorial on the internet.
I was struggling to navigate to iterate through second span tag in multiple td tags I.e. (tr[1:]/td[0]/span[1])
I was trying it the whole day.
This is the best tutorial I have seen.

Love this presentation. Straight to the point with short and specific explanation. Keep it coming! :)
in a sea of youtube tutorials yours is the pearl. thanks!
Been doing something similar for a while but in a much more complicated way. Looking forward to making my life much easier. Thank you!
If only I had this tutorial a few years back. Good stuff.
wow.. thats the crisp explnation,,, you're the man!!
Dude you're helping me out immensely with computer science courses
Using CSS selectors is the way to go, gets rid of nested for loops and is more robust.
how?
Your videos are fast-paced and straight to the point. Thanks!
Real Nice content! Straight to the point. I’ve played around with beautiful soup a few years ago for an small project, and I just wish this video was around at the time....
This video is really a good intro to web scraping.
was trying to scrape modarchive for my project, this is way better than writing the name and id down by hand lmao, thank you!
I spent forever teaching myself this last week and now you post this. Kill me now
Your videos are fast but glorious! Love your content man! Thank you! Bless 🙏
You are the coolest tech guy I have ever seen on TH-cam
Simply brilliantly explained. I have seen few of your videos and I like your style, therefore You have earned another subscriber.
This is remarkable, very informative and down to the earth - I really love this concise format of yours which is rather contradictory to what most of ppl on yt are providing

This would be a great follow on. +1
Selenium is good and easy....

Some of the best tutors are always straight-forward: down and dirty!
You're definitely skilled! For anyone watching these videos, don't get discouraged, this takes time. @Engineer Man , Can you talk about the experience of learning how at the beginning of your videos?
Thanks for the video. I like how you take the basics and break it down with really good and practical examples.

Google knows you're into web scraping and sliced turkey lol.
Engineer Man no lie came back and got an ad for $3 jack box munchie meals. TH-cam thinks your fans are stone while watching your videos
It would be cool to see how to deal with pagination. So you want data from /page=1, /page=2 etc. Etc.
In your browser go to next page and copy the url of, say, page 2 and go to last to find the last page url. Use that as a template to build the url of each page you want. Loop over them in turn.
John Keymer nope you’re not parsing the page a second time to find the next button. You scrape the current page and then grab the neat page by creating the string for the next url and accessing the next page - just one grab per page.
These were really good examples, thank you!
You go straight to the point. Obviously, you know a lot more in-depth about this topic. Anyway, I like it.
These videos are brilliant. Thanks for all your hard work.
Really nice content! You explain just enough to be clear but not too much that's perfect. Please continue to remind the type of the elements you create, it's very important for beginners.

how would you modify this for nested div elements in place of table row and cell elements?

your videos are a life saver man. keep up the great content
Great vid with fantastic content. Would love to see this where you first login in order to get content. Getting the headers set is a challenge.
Using Selenium to do the site navigation to get you logged in is how I worked around getting into a site that requires login credentials prior to scraping.
How do I combine this with Login? For example, I want to log into my TH-cam account and scrap data from my favorite videos url.
why did you use 'View page source' instead of 'inspect' to find the page structure?
I did it because view source represents the content that was delivered to the browser on load whereas inspect represents the content currently on the page. Since the scraper doesn't see anything dynamically generated, view source is best.
great tutorials! do you have a tutorial on scraping with a function( ) using beautiful soup
I have difficulties to soup data with some tags in HTML files like . I use soup = BeautifulSoup(myfile, 'html.parser') and all the link tags turned out to be tranformed to . How come
carefully he's a hero
Awesome tutorial man! Can I suggest scraping dynamic pages as the next tutorial. Would be a sweet follow up
Thanks. Part 2 of this is being requested a lot, I need to see what is best to do.
That was beautiful not to say absolutely excellent. Man ,,,,,
awesome vid! :D
how would you do it with a site you need to be logged in to?

thank you so much for this amazing tutorial, i would like to ask what do we do if the site i want to scrap require to be logged in btw this got recap
Usually, you can login first. Leave it open in your browser and scrape away.
Super helpful, thank you.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks.
What is the advantage to using Beautiful Soup over other webscraper packages with Python?
but how do we scrape the nowdays web that uses javascript framework that if we look at "view page source" we dont see html tag anymore. bcause it is wraped already with js
what auto complete package are you using for atom?
What skills would you say are required when performing the scrapping?
Is there an equivalent parser for web scraping that you recommend or are aware of for ruby?
Try nokogiri.
Thanks!
I have an issue though, I’m web scrapping my stats from a website and when my stats update the webscrape doesn’t update it.
The website ( umggaming.com/leaderboards ) now has cloudflare causing the request.get() to give 503 status_code. any solution to this ?
Good video. Personally, i like using node with dom module and write css queries to extract what i want.
Just wondering is there way to filter it and remove all the garbage that they send back? Idk?v😐v
loved it ! Efficiency and very clear for a beginner. Would be great to have the login part, and why not sending the extraction into a csv file ;) I subscribe ;)
Teach me your ways
Is there a scraping method that can read the javascript content generated?
is there somebody who did extract the data of the golf website, like getting all the names, numbers and emails of the club contacts but without regex instead using beautiful soup? I'm stuck there and would appreciate some help. I also wrote my problem in the EM discord channel in python

I guess that any kind of scientific literature databeses use webscraping (i.e. google scholar)
Webscraping should be a last resort. Getting data via an API is much better.
Génial. Dieu sait que je galère à utiliser BSoup . Et là j'ai l'impression d'avoir enfin compris.
