Slide 1: Title Slide


My name is ______________and today I'm going to talk about web
scraping using Python. This presentation will give you a comprehensive
understanding of the basics of web scraping, the tools used, the
essentials that you need to keep in mind while scraping data from the
web.

Slide 2: Introduction to Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language that has


gained popularity due to its simplicity and versatility. Created by Guido
van Rossum in 1991, Python is known for its clear, easy-to-read syntax,
making it ideal for beginners and experts alike. Today, Python is widely
used in web development, data science, machine learning, and more
due to its extensive community support and libraries.

Slide 3: Key Features of Python


Python offers several key features that make it particularly effective for
web scraping. It has easy-to-read syntax, which resembles the English
language, making scripts readable and maintainable. Python also
supports dynamic typing, meaning we don’t need to explicitly define
the type of data we use. Being an interpreted language, it executes
code line by line, making debugging easier. Lastly, Python has a wide
range of libraries and is compatible across different operating systems
such as Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Slide 4: Python's Data Structures


Python offers versatile data structures that are particularly useful in
web scraping. Lists are ordered collections that are mutable, while
dictionaries allow for key-value pairs, making data more organized and
accessible. Tuples are like lists but immutable, meaning their values
cannot be changed after creation. Lastly, sets contain unique
unordered elements, useful when we need to store non-repetitive data.
These data structures make it easier to process and organize the data
we scrape from websites.
Slide 5: Python Libraries for Web Scraping
Python provides various libraries that are essential for web scraping
and data analysis. Matplotlib is used for creating visualizations, while
Pandas is ideal for data manipulation and analysis through data
frames. NumPy handles numerical computations efficiently, especially
when working with arrays, and Scikit-learn is a powerful tool for
building machine learning models. These libraries are highly effective
for extracting and analyzing data from websites.

Slide 6: Web Scraping in Python


Web scraping is essentially the process of extracting data from
websites, and Python makes this task relatively simple. For web
scraping, key libraries like BeautifulSoup help in parsing HTML, and
Requests allows fetching HTML content. Selenium is used to scrape
dynamic content. However, it's crucial to keep ethical considerations in
mind. Always follow the website's robots.txt file and terms of service to
respect data privacy.

Slide 7: Steps in Web Scraping


Step 1

The first step in web scraping is to understand the target website. This
step is critical. We need to carefully examine the website's structure
and identify the data we want to collect. It is important to analyze the
HTML elements on the page, as these are what we will use to extract
the data.

For example, if we want to collect information about product prices


from an e-commerce website, we need to locate the HTML tags that
store this information. Inspecting the website's source code using tools
like Chrome's Developer Tools is essential for this process. It helps us
understand where the data is located and how to access it.

Step 2

Step two is installing the necessary libraries. For this task, we will need
tools such as BeautifulSoup and Pandas, which can be installed using
pip commands in the command prompt.

Slide 8: Steps in Web Scraping - Step 3


Step three involves importing the required modules. This step sets the
foundation for our script. Specifically, we need to import the Requests
library to fetch the web page and BeautifulSoup from the bs4 module
to parse the HTML.

Once we have imported the required modules, the next part is to fetch
the HTML content of the target webpage. We use the Requests library
to do this. For example, let’s say we want to scrape quotes from the
website; quotes.toscrape.com

Slide 9: Steps in Web Scraping - Step 4


Step four encompasses extracting the specific information we are
interested in. In our example, we want to extract quotes, their authors,
and tags from the webpage. After parsing the webpage, we use
methods provided by BeautifulSoup to locate the desired elements.
Step 5
Step five is storing the scraped data in a structured format. Once we
have extracted all the quotes, authors, and tags, we want to store
them in a more organized way, typically in a data frame. We can use
the Pandas library to achieve this. Data frames are like tables, where
we can store our data in rows and columns.
