Join us for the "Introduction to Web Scraping" workshop, where you'll learn the fundamentals of extracting data from websites using Python. This hands-on session will cover essential tools and libraries like BeautifulSoup and Selenium, guiding you through real-world examples and best practices. Whether you're new to programming or looking to expand your data collection skills, this workshop will provide you with the knowledge and techniques needed to automate data retrieval efficiently and ethically. By the end of the workshop, you'll be equipped to turn web pages into valuable data sources for your projects and research.
Our policy is that we do not record live workshops in order to encourage robust Q&A. However, you can always find the full workshop materials for all of our workshops at: https://library.virginia.edu/data/training/past-workshops which allows you to work through the material at your own pace. We also encourage you to reach out to the instructor at any time for a one-on-one consult, and for specific or general questions about any of the topics we cover.
