Learn to build scalable web scraping workflows in Python. This course will teach you how to efficiently fetch, parse, and process web data using Requests, BeautifulSoup, and Celery, enabling you to handle large-scale scraping challenges with ease.
What you'll learn
Handling web scraping at scale can be challenging. In this course, Python: Scalable Web Scraping and API Workflows, you’ll learn to build efficient, maintainable web scraping workflows using Requests, BeautifulSoup, and Celery. First, you’ll explore how to fetch web data efficiently using the Requests library while handling headers, sessions, and rate limits. Next, you’ll discover how to parse and extract meaningful information from HTML with BeautifulSoup, handling messy or inconsistent data structures. Finally, you’ll learn how to scale your web scraping tasks using Celery and Redis to process jobs asynchronously and improve performance. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of scalable web scraping and API integration needed to handle large-scale data extraction efficiently, avoid common pitfalls, and integrate your scraping workflows into production-ready applications.
