Book Description
Untangle your web scraping complexities and access web data with ease using Python scripts
Python Web Scraping Cookbook is a solution-focused book that will teach you techniques to develop high-performance scrapers and deal with crawlers,sitemaps,forms automation,Ajax-based sites,caches,and more.You’ll explore a number of real-world scenarios where every part of the development/product life cycle will be fully covered. You will not only develop the skills to design and develop reliable,performance data flows,but also deploy your codebase to an AWS. If you are involved in software engineering,product development,or data mining (or are interested in building data-driven products),you will find this book useful as each recipe has a clear purpose and objective.
Right from extracting data from the websites to writing a sophisticated web crawler,the book’s independent recipes will be a godsend on the job. This book covers Python libraries,requests,and BeautifulSoup. You will learn about crawling,web spidering,working with AJAX websites,paginated items,and more.
