BeautifulSoup and Requests in Python: Quickstart and Introduction

In this video, we will cover both the BeautifulSoup and Requests modules in Python. The purpose of this video is to give a very quick overview of both of these modules to get you to a base level of effectiveness and proficiency so that you can make use of these packages for your own purposes.

In the first part of this video, we assume only that you have Python and Pip installed on your machine. We step through the installation process for both modules and then go over some basic features.

Next, we see how we can make use of the features of both the BeautifulSoup and Requests modules to solve a real problem that may be similar to one that you are encountering that has led you to this video.

Do you like the development environment I'm using in this video? It's a customized version of vim that's enhanced for Python development. If you want to see how I set up my vim, I have a series on this here:

I have been searching and watching many videos on Python with BeautifulSoup. Yours is by far the best video because you don't wing it and you don't have to type things out. Everything is typed in and ready to go. All you do is comment and un-comment lines of code. Fantastic delivery method. And there are comments about what the lines of code do....

Hey Lucid, Just wanted to let you know that this BeautifulSoup tutorial and the other one you had posted were very great. As a beginner in programming, I have trouble following along with a lot of these tutorial videos. But you've made it easy to understand with this format. Hope to see more videos from you soon!

I had issues wit lxml, however I fixed it by installing it from Anaconda Navigator in root Environment. I also learned there are more parse like html-parser, html5lib which also do a good job and don't need depencies. Nice Tutorial!
