Want to play with spiders?

Hey Data Scientists, You might not be a fan of spiders… at least the biological kind. But how about the other, data-centric kind?

Well, that’s what we’re digging lately: spiders that crawl sites and extract the data you need from them.

In our latest tutorial series, we’re going through web scraping – a method that lets us collect more or up-to-date data for our algorithms.

Web Scraping with Scrapy – Introduction and Setup

You’ll go step-by-step through the process: setting up your environment, building your first spider to crawl sites, and then improving your spiders to handle more complicated type of data.

Our expert instructor makes it super-simple for you to follow along. In no time at all, you’ll have added web scraping to your data science toolkit. Happy crawling!
