Thanks a lot for this man! I've been trying to do a little personal project on data analytics and this was really useful. Subbed! :)

Outstanding, your content is really really good and incredibly useful. I didnt know you could add the atts within a read_html call... liked and subscribed :)

[brunosaintclair]

u have the best content in youtube for sure

Hey, great video! read_html is a great solution, but I think it might run into a problem when dealing with edge cases like duplicate names (when different people has the same name) and could treat them as one. I've added the href element to the table as unique identifier, but not sure if it can be done through read_html

Hey I’m curious about your course - how are there reviews if it’s only available for pre order?

[Indiancitizen]

Hi, really love the tutorial, I have one question, when trying to read the html in a dataframe, I'm hitting a HTTP Error 403: Forbidden, which I have seen many times when trying to scrape data from FBRef. Would really appreciate any workarounds for this, thanks.

Hey man, been following you on Twitter for a couple years now, I'm a big fan, you inspired me to study my first Data analytics course a couple months ago, my knowledge is quite limited as of right now, what previous knowledge do I need to have in order to successfully complete the course?

[shourya]

Hey, fbref have now implemented cloudfare which prevents scrapping. Is there any workaround?

[FootballObserver-nx]

Great video, I note its only the first 6 rows that are pulled, how do you get the entire table to be pulled

[Tonitaco]

How could you export that data into an excel or csv from there? What is your opinion on VSCoder?

[stargalextr]

Hey thanks for the tutorial, but I face an urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden error. So how did you navigate that

[kevinpaul]

hey, would it be okay if i use this data for my dissertation purpose? because im trying to use machine learning with this data

74 for a course kinda wild but great video

Hi man, amazing video! I tried it myself and it worked for the table you used and other tables that were like team related. But when I tried for example the passing table of Bundesliga 2 (so all the players and their stats) it did not work bcs it says it can't find any tables. While I'm quite sure I'm using the right ID. I tried it for different leagues etc but it didn't work. Do you know what could have gone wrong and how to solve it?

Did my comment get deleted from this video!? wtf

Thanks

Does anyone know a video that does this in R??

[andrewchen]

Thank you for your video! May I know if you encountered this problem when read_html?
```
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests
```
Thank you
