Python Web-scraping with Selenium vs Scrapy vs BeautifulSoup | Witcher project ep. #1

Hey data nerds 👋, in today's video we'll be discussing some tools for webscraping in Python (Selenium, Scrapy and Beautifulsoup). Then we'll move on to scrape the character names in the Witcher Wiki website. This is the first project in the Witcher project series where we will analyze the relationships between characters. I hope you enjoyed this video and any questions and thoughts are welcome! Thank you for watching 🙌🏽

I've been using Selenium for web automation, never thought to use it for web-scraping. Thanks a lot for that idea 👋
Also, looking forward to the rest of the serie.

Thanks for this! I have learned to use beautifulsoup in the python for everybody specialization in Coursera, and this video is similar to the final project I made but with selenium (in my project I scrapped song's lyrics). What a great oportunity to learn a new library and make an amazingly fun project in the way.

Thanks for your amazing content!
