Course Description

In this course the students will get to know how to scrape data from the API of a website (if available). We start with the fundamentals and the beginner level project. After that, two different projects will be covered, followed by the advanced project. After scraping data of wach project, the results will be stored inside an Excel file. Within the advanced level project we will create two dofferent datasets with 5000 results each. The goal is to merge both dataframes (total: 10000 results), save it in Excel and output the data in the PostgreSQL database and run SQL commands on our own data.

The requirement for this course is basic knowledge of Python Programming. Since we will not cover very difficult Python topics you do not have to be a professional. The most important characteristic is that you are curious about Web Scraping and Data Mining. You should be ready to invest time in gaining the knowledge which is taught in this course.

After this course you will have the knowledge and the experience to scrape your own data and create your own dataset. With the help of the course resources you will always have documents you can refer to. If you have a question or if a concept just does not make sense to you, you can ask your questions anytime inside the Q&A - Forum. Either the instructor or other students will answer your question. Thanks to the community you will never have the feeling to learn alone by yourself.


Disclaimer : I teach web scraping as a tutor for educational purposes. That's it.

The first rule of scraping the web is: do not harm a certain website. The second rule of web crawling is: do NOT harm a certain website.

O curso é simples usa a mesma abordagem de scraping em todos os módulos. A didática é boa, mas o curso poderia abordar mais técnicas de scraping. Até mais

I enjoyed and learned from this course. The instructor delivers good teaching and you can tell that the lessons are well prepared so that they don't drag on unnecessarily. The course is somewhat basic, but it is enjoyable and you learn the basics so you can learn more on your own.

This was such an extraordinary course. Straight to the point. Full hands-on. I mainly took the course to learn about Network traffic of a website i.e. getting the endpoints to scrape the data from. The course fully satisfied my expectations. I was even able to apply the knowledge gained from this course at work. I fully recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn scraping data from APIs.

By Marta García on 8/30/2021

Fue una buena elección, en el aspecto de la obtención de información de APIs utilizando requests, json, diccionarios etc muy bien... Me hubiese gustado más variedad entre los ejemplos de webs, y un poco más de explicación en el funcionamiento interno de herramientas como engine (sqlalchemy)

By Constantina Dretakis on 8/13/2021

Excellent course and a This teacher puts in effort to prepare his lecture slides (they are pretty well prepared and comprehensive). His lectures are fairly interesting and engaging
