What is Web Scraping?

Hi All,

This is Gürkan. I’m founder of Scrapeak.com

I started bloging about web scraping, The first subject, of course, is “ What is Web Scraping?”

It is simply called cleanly extracting the irregular data on the website. You can do that with most programming languages. But we use and recommend the Python.

Because Python is super strong at web scraping. Python has web scraping modules and libraries. For example;

• ‘Requests’ for HTTP requests
• Beautifulsoup(a.k.a bs4) for Parsing HTML
• Lxml for best encoder
• Selenium for rendering javascript
• Re for regular expression

This is what the html code of the imdb page looks like. You can see with devtools.

We can build, integrate and manage web scraping projects!
