Scraping with Python: Web Scraping in Action If programming is magic, then web scraping is witchcraft. By writing a simple automated program, you can send requests to web servers, receive responses containing data, and then analyze that data to extract the information you need. This updated, third edition of the book not only introduces web scraping, but also serves as a comprehensive guide to collecting almost any kind of data from the modern web. Part I focuses on the mechanics of web scraping: how to use Python to send requests to web servers, process responses, and automate interactions with sites. Part II explores more specific tools and applications that are useful in any web scraping scenario.

- Parse complex HTML pages;
