Think of all the things you do during the day. You might read the news, send emails, find the best deal for a product, or search jobs online. Most of these tasks can be automated with web scraping, so instead of spending hours looking through websites, a computer would do it for you in a couple of minutes.

Web Scraping is the process of extracting data from a website. Learning Web Scraping could be as easy as following a tutorial on how libraries like Beautiful Soup, Selenium, or Scrapy work in Python; however, if you can’t put all the concepts learned into practice, that time will be wasted.
