Web scraping is a powerful technique that can help you extract valuable data from websites quickly and easily.

We'll be using GitHub Copilot, an AI-powered code autocompletion tool, to help us write the code for our web scraper quickly and efficiently. With the flexibility of Node.js, as well as the helpful libraries Cheerio and Unirest, we'll be able to scrape websites and extract data in just a few lines of code.

We'll explain the basics of web scraping and how it works. Then, we'll dive right into the code editor and show you how to use GitHub Copilot to write the necessary functions and methods to scrape a sample website.

We'll cover everything from sending HTTP requests and parsing HTML to filtering data and storing it in a file. We'll also introduce you to Cheerio, a lightweight library that makes it easy to parse HTML and XML documents, as well as Unirest, a library for making HTTP requests in Node.js.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a fully functioning web scraper that you can modify and customize for your own scraping needs. And you'll have gained valuable experience working with GitHub Copilot, Node.js, Cheerio, and Unirest.

So if you're interested in learning how to code web scraping quickly and efficiently using the latest AI tools and techniques, be sure to watch this video and start exploring the power of web scraping with GitHub Copilot and Node.js.


Before we start, you should be aware that there are some legal and ethical issues you should consider before scraping a site. It's your responsibility to make sure that it's okay to scrape a site before doing so.
