Web Scraping Using Python
Web scraping is the automated process of extracting data from websites. This technique involves using specialized tools or scripts to access web pages, retrieve specific information, and transform it into a structured format for analysis or use in other applications.
Python is very powerful when it comes to web scraping. There are so many cases where we need it. For example, in our websites watch portal, we use it to get all the links in website and then check if every link works. If it does not we report as broken link or deadlink. This helps us a lot in improving user experience.
Web scraping is also used to get data from other website but that is a debatable subject and you can read our opinion about it here: https://fairshare.tech/2023/09/26/scraping-or-data-scraping-or-web-scraping/
