Web scraping is a technique to extract data from websites. Python has powerful libraries like requests
and BeautifulSoup
that make web scraping easy.
You can install the required libraries using pip:
pip install requests beautifulsoup4
To scrape a web page, first use the requests
module to fetch the page content:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = "http://example.com"
response = requests.get(url)
