Web Scraping
Oct 17, 2019
I very much enjoy craigslist. It’s a nice way to reuse instead of consume, save some cash, and has been a particularly good wellspring of projects. Unfortunately, the best deals at the best prices tend to get snatched up in a matter of minutes or hours. We COULD spend hours of the day endlessly refreshing craigslist. Or… we could make a script do it. Webscraping is a means of collecting useful information from a public website and using it in a computer program. BeautifulSoup4 is a library in Python3 that allows webscraping to be done much more easily.
