Hey guys what's up before we get started smash that subscribe button, like this share it i am giving away a fucking gift card follow the links to my merch watch my ads really helps thanks okay...roll that intro *45 second intro*
It helps so much to have someone that matches your personality when learning stuff. I can't stand when asking someone for instructions on how to do something and they tell me everything that I can expect and every once i a while throw in the thing I'm supposed to do next. None of the fluff here. Just context. Every other creator would/has made this subject a 45min+ video but here I am feeling proficient after just 14 minutes with EM. Thank you, Sir!
I was struggling to navigate to iterate through second span tag in multiple td tags I.e. (tr[1:]/td[0]/span[1]) I was trying it the whole day. This is the best tutorial I have seen. Thank youuuuu.
Hey man! I watched this and applied the concepts to a weather site and made a csv of all the sunset / sunrises in 2019! Thank you! Please I love the way you explain things keep making videos sir! I have applied your teaching in a couple videos and it’s great! Learning so much!
This is remarkable, very informative and down to the earth - I really love this concise format of yours which is rather contradictory to what most of ppl on yt are providing
Real Nice content! Straight to the point. I’ve played around with beautiful soup a few years ago for an small project, and I just wish this video was around at the time....
You're definitely skilled! For anyone watching these videos, don't get discouraged, this takes time. @Engineer Man , Can you talk about the experience of learning how at the beginning of your videos?
In your browser go to next page and copy the url of, say, page 2 and go to last to find the last page url. Use that as a template to build the url of each page you want. Loop over them in turn.
John Keymer nope you’re not parsing the page a second time to find the next button. You scrape the current page and then grab the neat page by creating the string for the next url and accessing the next page - just one grab per page.
Really nice content! You explain just enough to be clear but not too much that's perfect. Please continue to remind the type of the elements you create, it's very important for beginners.
This is an awesome video, I actually enjoy the in depth walk through of what your reasoning behind writing code is, step by step. Versus just saying " I did this" and not really explaining anything. On a separate note , I'm looking to get into python, and I have previous code development experience, but It's been a little while, and setting up an environment to start doing some coding is a bit daunting. I'm looking to do more on the machine learning , neural networks side of things. I don't struggle with any of the logic, mathematics, but I know there are many pros/cons of various IDE's . Some have better support for various packages , etc.. I was wondering if you could either make a video on some of this information, or maybe throw a few pointers my way. I would really appreciate that. Otherwise, keep up the great content!!!
I've found that I really like using Microsoft's VS Code (not to be confused with Visual Studio). The IDE has a good clean interface, lots of extension support, and a built-in terminal.
Happy that you've chosen this topic. I've been exploring web scraping and have a script that works pretty well on a site that I frequent. Another awesome tool that can be used to also automate web navigation is the selenium package. But on more of a question-related note, I know the script you just made was pretty simple, and the one I have isn't that complicated, but I've been wondering how one would go about writing an object-oriented script for scraping?
Selenium can be used as a web scraper, but I use it more for web navigation and then use beautiful soup to actually get the data I need from the pages once they've been navigated to. I just find beautiful soup to be a more intuitive for extracting the data.
With selenium it is like an automated user, and when you use it, you require a web driver, and you can choose if you want the automated browser to run in the background or not. I recently used selenium because I was trying to request for content behind a microsoft login page, which is loaded using javascript, thus I needed to wait till the content was actually loaded finish before i submit anything. Unlike requests, which instantly retrieves the page content.
Beautiful video man! Really valuable information here. As a sysadmin with over 10 years experience, I can state its really clean method of scraping. I was used to use bash scripts for everything but using libraries in python is sooo helpful. It would be a pain in the as in bash with awk, grep, etc. I hope to see more soon
Great video again. I've been playing web scraping a while and I find that most of websites nowadays using javascript rendering quite heavy. Will you make a part 2 for talking about how to web scrape javascript rendering website? And what do you think about another web scraping package, Scrapy? thanks Man
Wow, I liked this video so much! It was very useful! 😄 You really have helped me a lot, it was well and fully explained, with real life examples Thank you so much for this tutorial! 👏👏
I did it because view source represents the content that was delivered to the browser on load whereas inspect represents the content currently on the page. Since the scraper doesn't see anything dynamically generated, view source is best.
@Engineer Man , what is your day job? And how did you get into coding? Do you have a CS degree? and.... well instead of more questions, rather just ask whats your background (ito what lead to you adding so much value with these vids)?
How do you scrape something like RUclips comments (without using RUclips api)? When I get the html data for a video using requests library, the video's comments are not their in the html data.
Using Selenium to do the site navigation to get you logged in is how I worked around getting into a site that requires login credentials prior to scraping.
_I can't believe I used to use Selenium for this_ At least for that project I rewrote it and used raw Requests when I found out my target could return data in JSON
Great video EM, but requests is not a built-in module for python; (does not come with the default python installation), so you will have to install it. For any missing library, the source is usually available at pypi.python.org/pypi/. You can download requests here: pypi.python.org/pypi/requests To install: • OSX/Linux : Use $ sudo pip install requests if you have pip installed. Alternatively you can also use sudo easy_install -U requests if you have easy_install installed. • Windows : From a cmd prompt, use > Path\easy_install.exe requests, where Path is your Python*\Scripts folder, if it was installed (for example: C:\Python32\Scripts\easy_install.exe). If you manually want to add a library to a windows machine, you can download the compressed library, unzip it, and then place it into the Lib folder of your python path. (For example: C:\Python32\Lib) NOTE: Mac OSX and Windows, after downloading the source zip, un-compress it and from the termiminal/cmd run python setup.py install from the uncompressed directory.
I have difficulties to soup data with some tags in HTML files like . I use soup = BeautifulSoup(myfile, 'html.parser') and all the link tags turned out to be tranformed to . How come
but how do we scrape the nowdays web that uses javascript framework that if we look at "view page source" we dont see html tag anymore. bcause it is wraped already with js
is there somebody who did extract the data of the golf website, like getting all the names, numbers and emails of the club contacts but without regex instead using beautiful soup? I'm stuck there and would appreciate some help. I also wrote my problem in the EM discord channel in python
love your tutorials. I tried following your method to scrape a site, but the output is empty. when I checked the 'tr' throughout the source code, it has values, but I do not understand why the output is empty.
Why can't I find specific content on pages like whatsapp? I would like to fetch the name of a person, and I did as you said, by checking the source and getting the div class, but it simply doesn't appear in the soup
Hey, question. Your python craigslist scammed video. Why turn off comments? I had questions. Now I’m in another video to ask about it. Basically just wanted to know if the person who’s DB you tried to flood would be able to just delete all post made from your IP address?
Hey I love you videos ! You explain everything so well. I am trying to scrape some websites but they don't allow me because of their bot protection... Do you have any tips about this ? Thanks
I got this problem too. In my case I have solved that by changing a type of my request, now it includes *headers*. You need to look up for the data of your headers in your web browser. You should visit google.com page, press ctrl+shift+I, in opened console find "network", and search necessary elements there. In in the other words, the solution is adding "headers", I hope the information will help you. Example: headers = {"accept" : "your accept symbols", "user_agent", "your user agent string" session = requests.Session() request_variable = session.get(url, headers) P.S. I am from Russian, I was not using a translating while typing it, I hope you were able to understand me.
Anyone know of any tutorials on how to escape parsed data for inclusion in a MySQL table? Been getting errors that I'm sure have to do with unicode to UTF-8 Conversion but I have had no luck in finding anything to show how to escape / encode text so it doesn't throw and error when inserting into MySQL.
Do you know any website or application that gives this sort of challenges? I have mostly learned python but in practice still don't know what to do with it yet.
I was looking for a software to scrape emails from website and ended up here. I don't even know python and which software you were using. Where do i start now ?
Wondering if you or someone else know why with Python 3.7 installed on Windows and using Visual Studio I get an error that the requests module is not installed? Obvious why I guess but where or how do I get the requests module? TIA
Replying so others see if they have the same issue. In VS next to the Python 3.7(64-bit) click the icon to the right that is a package and you can install packages from there. :)
I like your tutorials because u go directly to the content, something rare in youtube these days...
Hey guys what's up before we get started smash that subscribe button, like this share it i am giving away a fucking gift card follow the links to my merch watch my ads really helps thanks okay...roll that intro *45 second intro*
So true thank you for putting out the points which matters.
Dude i watched over 15 videos+ that was recommended and after hours i found this FULLY EXPLAINED.
I felt so powerful as soon as I pulled an array of strings from a random website. Thank you for your great tutorial
It helps so much to have someone that matches your personality when learning stuff.
I can't stand when asking someone for instructions on how to do something and they tell me everything

but here I am feeling proficient after just 14 minutes with EM.
Thank you, Sir!
You're welcome buddy!
I was able to do this on another leaderboard site, appreciate your work here.
This is THE best beautifulsoup tutorial on the internet.
Using CSS selectors is the way to go, gets rid of nested for loops and is more robust.
how?
Love this presentation. Straight to the point with short and specific explanation. Keep it coming! :)
I was struggling to navigate to iterate through second span tag in multiple td tags I.e. (tr[1:]/td[0]/span[1])
I was trying it the whole day.
This is the best tutorial I have seen.
Thank youuuuu.
Been doing something similar for a while but in a much more complicated way. Looking forward to making my life much easier. Thank you!
Hey man! I watched this and applied the concepts to a weather site and made a csv of all the sunset / sunrises in 2019! Thank you! Please I love the way you explain things keep making videos sir! I have applied your teaching in a couple videos and it’s great! Learning so much!
Cheers man i used this tutorial to sort through 310000 embed links you’re so awesome
he makes it so quick and simple
If only I had this tutorial a few years back. Good stuff.
wow.. thats the crisp explnation,,, you're the man!!
was trying to scrape modarchive for my project, this is way better than writing the name and id down by hand lmao, thank you!
in a sea of youtube tutorials yours is the pearl. thanks!
Dude you're helping me out immensely with computer science courses
You are the coolest tech guy I have ever seen on RUclips
Your videos are fast but glorious! Love your content man! Thank you! Bless 🙏
Your videos are fast-paced and straight to the point. Thanks!
This is remarkable, very informative and down to the earth - I really love this concise format of yours which is rather contradictory to what most of ppl on yt are providing

Happiest man!
Oh god I'm not gonna be able to unhear that any time soon.
Thanks for the video. I like how you take the basics and break it down with really good and practical examples.
This video is really a good intro to web scraping.
I spent forever teaching myself this last week and now you post this. Kill me now
EM you're awesome. i was studying web scraping and this come up. subscribed yesterday to your channel! lol
Nice!
Real Nice content! Straight to the point. I’ve played around with beautiful soup a few years ago for an small project, and I just wish this video was around at the time....
Exactly what I needed thank you very much!!
Simply brilliantly explained. I have seen few of your videos and I like your style, therefore You have earned another subscriber.
You're definitely skilled! For anyone watching these videos, don't get discouraged, this takes time. @Engineer Man , Can you talk about the experience of learning how at the beginning of your videos?
Some of the best tutors are always straight-forward: down and dirty!
These videos are brilliant. Thanks for all your hard work.
It would be cool to see how to deal with pagination. So you want data from /page=1, /page=2 etc. Etc.
In your browser go to next page and copy the url of, say, page 2 and go to last to find the last page url. Use that as a template to build the url of each page you want. Loop over them in turn.
John Keymer nope you’re not parsing the page a second time to find the next button. You scrape the current page and then grab the neat page by creating the string for the next url and accessing the next page - just one grab per page.
You go straight to the point. Obviously, you know a lot more in-depth about this topic. Anyway, I like it.
Really nice content! You explain just enough to be clear but not too much that's perfect. Please continue to remind the type of the elements you create, it's very important for beginners.
These were really good examples, thank you!

Wow, I liked this video so much! It was very useful! 😄
You really have helped me a lot, it was well and fully explained, with real life examples
Thank you so much for this tutorial! 👏👏
your videos are a life saver man. keep up the great content
Awesome video! Can you do one on the requests module please?
carefully he's a hero
ty, saved me an hour of time from all these other videos. holy shit
Super helpful, thank you.
why did you use 'View page source' instead of 'inspect' to find the page structure?
I did it because view source represents the content that was delivered to the browser on load whereas inspect represents the content currently on the page. Since the scraper doesn't see anything dynamically generated, view source is best.
@Engineer Man , what is your day job? And how did you get into coding? Do you have a CS degree? and.... well instead of more questions, rather just ask whats your background (ito what lead to you adding so much value with these vids)?

Génial. Dieu sait que je galère à utiliser BSoup . Et là j'ai l'impression d'avoir enfin compris.

Good video. Personally, i like using node with dom module and write css queries to extract what i want.
Awesome! Kudos! Very helpful. Thanks man!
Wow just found your channel by accident and I’m loving it. Awesome content!! Do you think you can do a vid on Elastic Stack?
Great vid with fantastic content. Would love to see this where you first login in order to get content. Getting the headers set is a challenge.
Using Selenium to do the site navigation to get you logged in is how I worked around getting into a site that requires login credentials prior to scraping.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks.
I use requests and bs4. Never thought of using regex besides pattern searching
_I can't believe I used to use Selenium for this_
At least for that project I rewrote it and used raw Requests when I found out my target could return data in JSON
Saw this, instantly thought this would be easy to implement to get amazon prices... bot blockers, who thought captcha would get me 😂
I have an issue though, I’m web scrapping my stats from a website and when my stats update the webscrape doesn’t update it.

How does he knows a lib for everything? i'am addicted to his videos.
What is the advantage to using Beautiful Soup over other webscraper packages with Python?
thank you so much for this amazing tutorial, i would like to ask what do we do if the site i want to scrap require to be logged in btw this got recap
Usually, you can login first. Leave it open in your browser and scrape away.
