Web Scraping with Python: BeautifulSoup, Requests & Selenium (Udemy.com)

The course is well-structured and easy to follow, making it accessible even for beginners. However, the last update was in December 2018, and some websites used for scraping have since changed. This made completing the final project (scraping pictures from Instagram) impossible due to Instagram’s suspicious login alerts and the need for email confirmation codes. Despite this, I’m giving the course 4.5 out of 5 stars because the 8 hours of content provided a clear understanding of the concepts and allowed me to learn a lot.

Course is not updated. Libraries used and html structures of pages analyzed have changed.

This Tutorial really awesome. Really I have learnt web scrapping from this tutorial. Author is really good, quick replied. Great example with proper totpic. I will recommended that, if anybody are interested web scrapping first you need to read this tutorial. Thanks for this.

I liked a lot this course, I impressed me a lot what kind of things you can do with a bit of Python, BS and Selenium. I enjoyed a lot the first exercise and specially the final project. At the beggining the level is a bit high for students without prior knowledge in Python and could be intimidating for newbies. Due to this, I wouldn't recomend it for newbies in Python, which was not my case. Later the teacher makes an effort to explain a bit the IDE and some basic notions of Python which are useful to refresh concepts. All the excercises are explained step by step and even though at the beggining it can be slow, at the end, you will understand why and the reward will left you without words. The final project left me with amazed of what sort of things you can do, even though this is only the top of the iceberg. During this project, I had some problems due to the local languaje, but with the teacher help, I was able to understand why they were raised and how to solve them with practical examples. Thank you very much

I cannot say enough good things about this course. Waqar (the teacher) is an absolutely-fantastic instructor. At first, I felt that this course was a bit all over the place. But, once I started getting the hang of this, I realized that this course is actually really well organized, and does a nice job of teaching web scraping. I found this course to be fairly comprehensive, despite that it aims to be a beginners' course. I would like to strongly recommend this course.

good review so far...I left this rating early in the course. I am now learning new things and think this is an excellent and very well taught course. Final Review - Excellent and well taught course. Instructor was very nice and easy to understand. I learned something useful. Would recommend.

Great course - well explained concepts. I would advise playing the videos at twice the speed though :) One thing to remember is that Instagram keeps changing its parameters, so following everything in the lectures to the T wouldn't work - you will have to do some things yourself, which is a great way to learn.

This is a great course. It it presented really well, step by step. Each step goes into a lot of detail, and is very well explained. Of course, after viewing the course you need to practise. I've really enjoyed doing this course. Great job. If you are interested in starting to learn web scraping with python, this one is for you.

Overall, the course is solid. I learned a good deal from it, and the instructor moved at the right pace for the level of skill required for this kind of course. I was a little disappointed in the format of the initial teaching. The projects were great, but the first several videos where the instructor is teaching Beautiful soup is slow. He is just reading through the documentation and using the examples from the documentation. Also, the instructor repeats himself a ton, which in some parts ruined the video watching experience and was distracting. All the bad set aside, the course does have some great parts to it and provides a fairly good learning experience.

Very detailed and well explained tutorial. It explains everything from scratch to expect level. Specially projects are very good. I found this very useful because its simple and easy to follow, making it nice alternative for scrapy. Thank you, since there are many sources to learn.

thank you very much! Your explanation is very clear, step-by-step. Though sometimes a bit slow, and too much sleep, it's great in general :)

The instructor explains everything clearly and precisely,,,,,,... was looking for this type of course but couldn't find it anywhere except UDEMY..A big thanks to the instructor for making and keeping things so simple and straight.
