This is simply amazing! I have spent hours trying to figure out how to do a basic scrape and finally this video did it. I truly appreciate you sir!

Like I said in my last comment, I'm really enjoying this mini series on webscraping. You're a PHENOMENAL instructor. As always, THANK YOU ALEX!!

[Kicsa]

I went over the documentation for BeautifulSoup but watching your video is reinforcing everything I read. I will be watching the rest of your videos on this, thanks!

[TheSystemsConsulting]

Thanks Alex for this second video on the web scrapping series!

[devanshagarwal]

I just remebered my first data scrapping project using BeautifulSoup looking at this video. Thank you very much Alex for sharing this video. It's a great start for anybody looking to scrape data from various sources and easy to grasp when compared to tools like Selenium.

Alex thanks for making beautifulsoup as simple as possible

[AwanievaStudios]

I have been waiting for the next video since you started the Web scraping series. Thank you Alex 😊

Very important, DO NOT forget to use a timer otherwise you will find yourself causing DOS on the website you're scraping from or your IP being blocked by the site.

Load the page in a browser and copy the page source when building your scraper.

Thank youu for your videoss, you're a life saver

A caveat worth mentioning is to read the terms of use for any website or data source to ensure web scraping or other automated non-API retrieval method is allowed.

[gloriabukachi]

So easy to understand. Thank you teacher

[kachekijaanlega]

it should be "html.parser" not just "html".

[jmc]

This should be the 2nd video of the playlist

Hello you mentioned in your video that beautiful soup is a "snapshot" of the web page. Can we use beautiful soup to automatically update the value of something in real time? For example stock prices or currency exchange rate or price of bitcoin...etc.

[mohammadsoleman]

Hello I am new here, I actually first found the last video in this list then I heard the word previously so I searched and found the list but also you are referring to previous videos so I now am following alright but I was wondering is this part of another bigger playlist ?

[Unknown_mallu]

Hello. I have installed requests module but then also error occurs as no module named requests.why this happens?

[victorjonesofficial]

Please Alex can you do a video on how to install beautifulsoup using Anaconda prompt

[yosoydonger]

When I use this method, it doesnt give me all the site data. I'm guessing its because its a subscriber only webpage. Is there a way to bypass this?

[uplifthabesha]

can you interact using beautiful soup like clicking or entering data in an input tab

[ChrisTDBCODE]

For some reason when I run requests.get(url) it doesnt give me any status code whatsoever, I have also tried using the .status_code and nothing gets returned to me. I also checked and both Beautifulsoup and requests are installed. Is there anything I can try to fix this?
