Web Scrapping

Nicolas Jacquin

What is Web Scrapping?

  • Extracting data from website (usually what’s displayed on a webpage)

  • Used to automate repetitive processes that require checking or interacting with websites

  • Data is either extracted from the HTML (easy), but sometimes snooping around the requests done by a webpage in the background is required to get the data you need (Sometimes time consuming, consider if the time saved is worth it!)
