A Step-by-Step Guide to Web Scraping with Python and Beautiful Soup

Web scraping is a technique that is used for extracting HTML content from different websites. These web scrapers are mainly computer bots that can directly access the World Wide Web using HTTP Protocol and use this information in various applications. The data is obtained in an unstructured format, which is then converted into a structured manner after performing multiple pre-processing steps. Users can save this data in a spreadsheet or export it through an API.

Web scraping can also be done manually for small web pages by simply copying and pasting the data from the web page. But this copy and pasting would not work if we require data at a large scale and from multiple web pages. Here automated web scrapers come into the picture. They use intelligent algorithms which can extract large amounts of data from numerous web pages in less time.
