Jakob Greenfeld – Scraping The Web For Fun and Profit
In the past 12 months, I built 5 profitable businesses and made over $100,000 leveraging my web scraping skills.
In this course, I’m for the first time sharing everything I know about the topic.
You’ll learn:
- The basics of web scraping using Python libraries such as Beautiful Soup.
- Effective strategies to speed up your scraping scripts and reduce error rates.
- How to avoid getting blocked.
- Advanced screen scraping methods that will allow you to scrape websites that require a login.
- How to reverse engineer browser requests.
- How to find undocumented APIs and use them to extract information that’s not publicly available.
- What I’ve learned about building and selling data products.
You’ll get access to:
- 10+ videos (á 20-40minutes each). In each video, I’m showing you how to solve real-world problems that occur when we’re scraping a specific website.
- All the source code used in the videos.
- All videos and content that will be added in the future. (I’ll be adding additional videos over time based on the feedback I’m getting.)
The course is non-linear and self-paced. This way you can always pick whatever lesson is most relevant given your current situation.
