Learn how to use Scrapy, the powerful web scraping framework in Python, to easily collect data from the web.
This course unlocks the magic of web scraping with Scrapy, helping you gather data without all the stress. It's super chill and packed with cool examples!
Free and open source web crawling framework, written in Python
Scraping data from webpages can be a tedious job. But it doesn’t have to be.
With Scrapy, you can scrape using XPath or CSS. With the large number of examples from both techniques, you’re sure to find a solution that fits for you.
Whether your targeting data on a single page or multiple, Scrapy can handle the job. No matter if the data is within a list, you can scrape specific patterns right out of the list. Building up your specific Scrapy job isn't a difficult task.
Scrapy is a Python library. If you're familiar with Python, XPath or CSS, you'll feel right at home using Scrapy.
At the end of this course, you will understand:
- what Scrapy is used for
- how to install it
- how to use Scapy
In summary, you'll be able to target specific elements on a webpage, whether the element is stand along or in a list. Then you can retrieve a group of those elements or just one. This technique allows you to pull down specific types of data.
The course ends with a project to help solidify what you've learned. There is a full walk through included with the project solution.

What he explained here (mostly) are available at scrapy docs. 10 bucks is nothing but this course is not even worth for 10 bucks.
Sorry to say that dude, you must give more value on your course
Some of the examples where already at the Scrapy tutorial. Not much value added after completing the course if you have already done the Scrapy tutorial.
The lecture could explain more on how to login or search on a site and then parse the results
The same information is available in free tutorials, expected more insights / advanced information.
Nice introduction to the topic.
I have to say that the cost of the course didn't meet my expectations for the course. I think that this course is a nice overview of the topic. I would have expected more from the course based on what I paid.
I was able to follow his instructions and apply to the sites I want to scrape. Thanks.
this is a good course to get up to speed on this library and ways to apply it to data wrangling

I was expecting a real world example where the instructor will demonstrate how to login to website and then scrape data not only in html files may be pdf file, handling of javascript websites and so on..Then logout from site gracefully.
