Master Web Scraping in Python: Requests Scrapy Selenium & AI

Learn web scraping with Python, Requests, Scrapy, Selenium, and AI for real-world data extraction.

What you'll learn
- Understand the differences between Requests, Scrapy, and Selenium—and when to use each.
- Extract data using XPath, CSS selectors, and hidden JSON endpoints from real websites.
- Build robust scraping bots with pagination, headers, user-agent spoofing, and IP rotation.
- Scrape data from JavaScript-heavy websites using Selenium and bypass login/captcha walls.
- Use Scrapy pipelines to store scraped data into structured formats like CSV, JSON, and PostgreSQL.
- Leverage AI tools like ChatGPT and local LLMs to auto-generate scrapers and analyze HTML programmatically.

Requirements
- Basic knowledge of Python (variables, loops, functions) is helpful
- No prior experience with web scraping is required — all concepts are explained from scratch
