Web Scraping & Data Collection gives you the power to create datasets when none exist. Using Python with requests, BeautifulSoup and APIs, you'll learn to extract data from websites, handle pagination and dynamic content, work with JSON APIs, and store the results as clean, structured data — all with an emphasis on doing it ethically and responsibly.
Basic Python required! You should be comfortable with simple Python. Ideal for analysts and data scientists who need their own data.
