People like you should get more recognition and praise. I'm really thankful to you.

You're actually the first person i've found that has explained the various commonly used functions, and then demonstrated their use! Others just pick up an example and go through with it! Awesome content!

It's A Festive Day In Our Country Where We Celebrate "Teachers" And Thank Them For Their Contribution To Society. I Would Like To Say Thank You To You For Being This Amazing.

[sido.]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU A LOT Brad!! I started watching your videos in January when I had zero skills/experience in web development and I started practicing almost every day until I felt confident enough to start applying for jobs. Happy to say I just landed a job as a Front End Developer thanks largely in part to your videos here and on udemy. I will forever be grateful

[IsaacAsante]

Brad, I've said it before and I'll say it again: You're amazing.
Thanks for all your free tutorials.

Hello, Brad! I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I and my friend were struggling to build a website from scratch and your web tutorials helped us immensely.

[jlambert]

It is unreal how many tutorials Brad has actually made. I literally just typed in "Traversy Web Scraping" and sure enough.

This is what we're working on at my coding bootcamp and this video helped me to write a much more elegant program than what was presented as the solution by the school.

Hi Brad, I took your JavaScript course from udemy. Now I have some good knowledge of JavaScript. Thanks for the great content.God bless you.

There are a few things I want to mention. First of all if the website you want to scrap is providing an API then use this instead, the API is for this porpuse. Second, scraping with bs4 is nice for small scale, but if you want to get more information faster available, well you need to parallelize things like using grequests. BUT there is one option I would like to recommend, using scrapy which does this kind of thing for you. It is certainly harder to get into it, but it is worthwile.

[TheNickster]

Cool! It's crazy I was just looking into web scraping and beautifulsoup in particular and then you post this! Awesome content as always!
