In this course, Extracting Structured Data from the Web Using Scrapy, you will learn how you can scrape raw content from web pages and save them for later use in a structured and meaningful format.

You will start off by exploring how Scrapy works and how you can use CSS and XPath selectors in Scrapy to select the relevant portions of any website. You’ll use the Scrapy command shell to prototype the selectors you want to use when building Spiders.

Next, you’ll see learn Spiders specify what to crawl, how to crawl, and how to process scraped data.

You’ll also learn how you can take your Spiders to the cloud using the Scrapy Cloud. The cloud platform offers advanced scraping functionality including a cutting-edge tool called Portia with which you can build a Spider without writing a single line of code.

At the end of this course, you will be able to build your own spiders and crawlers to extract insights from any website on the web. This course uses Scrapy version 1.5 and Python 3.
