Course Description

In this short and concisecourse you will learn everythingto get started with web scraping using Java.

You will learn the concepts behind web scraping that you can apply to practically any web page (static AND dynamic /AJAX).

Course structure

We start with an overview of what web scraping is and what you can do with it.

Then we explain the difference in scraping static pages vs dynamic / AJAX pages. You learn how to classify a website in one of the two categories and then apply the right concept in order to scrape the data you want.

Now you will learn how to export the scraped data either as CSV or JSON. These are some popular formats that can be used for further processing.

Unfortunately many websites try to block scrapers or sometimes you just do not want to be detected. In the sectiongoing undercover you will learn how to stay undetected and avoid getting blocked.

At the end of the course you can download the full source code of all the lectures and we discuss an outlook to some advanced topics (private proxies, cloud deployment, multi threading ...). Those advanced topics are covered in a follow up course I am going to teach.

Why you should take this course

Stop imagining you can scrape data from websites and use the skills for your next web project, you can do it now.

simple to understand

By Hajdu Henrietta on 6/27/2020

Practical, on the point, delivers on the course promise.

Very good and interesting

By Ronald Ingraham on 11/4/2019

Overall, it was a pretty good course and the instructor seemed to know the subject very well. My only issue was with a number of the examples not working, even after downloading, building, and executing the included source code. Must be that some of the sites, even Google, have either updated or changed and the examples did not work.

By Justas Markauskas on 10/5/2019

Very good explanation about topic. The only bad thing is examples, none of them is working, but everything else is perfect!!!

By Carlos Ramrez Lizn on 9/23/2019

Buenos contenidos y bien explicados. Mejorara los subttulos ya que a veces no se corresponden con lo que dice el profesor.

By Joe Zepernick on 8/20/2019

the only complaint is that the volume is low. The speaker is clear and concise in delivery.
