Data ranging from customer reviews of products to human sentiments on societal issues, and even some IoT-generated data can be found online.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Internet is currently the largest source of data accessible to all. However, the data is not available in the way you might want it. They are usually buried within HTML documents which is the document format for web pages.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to download these documents and parse them out. If the documents have been well written and structured, then extracting data from them via scraping is easy.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some complexly written HTML pages that are complicated and messy, and extracting data from them is not an easy task. Regardless of how messy an HTML document has been written, you can scrape data from them with the right skill and tools. In this article, you will be shown how to scrape HTML data.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-html-data-scraping\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_HTML_Data_Scraping\"><\/span><strong>What is HTML Data Scraping?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zhmPSkfzXE8\" data-id=\"zhmPSkfzXE8\" data-query onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false; perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\" data-cf-modified-31d3e00379a723c450fe2b5c->\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20480%20360%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/zhmPSkfzXE8\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"play\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zhmPSkfzXE8?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>HTML data scraping is the process of extracting important data points from HTML web pages. This involves using specialized web automation bots known as web scrapers to download the raw HTML of the pages and then use parsers to traverse and extract important data points of interest to you from them.<\/p>\n<p>Data and information on web pages are usually enclosed in HTML documents in structures known as HTML elements. While the process of scraping data from HTML pages sounds easy in theory, it can be difficult and complicated in practice.<\/p>\n<p>This is because most websites have anti-bot systems that discourage bot access and prevent scraping. If your target website is protected by any form of anti-bot system, then you will need to know how to evade such an anti-bot system in other to succeed in scraping its data.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, you will need to be a coder to be able to scrape data from HTML pages. This is no longer the case as there are no-code scraping tools you can use for doing that effortlessly. There are also professional data services that specialize in web scraping.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_Scrape_HTML_Data\"><\/span><strong>Ways to Scrape HTML Data<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>There are many methods you can use to scrape HTML data. As a coder, you can develop a custom scraper or use an already-made one that you can integrate into your code. If you are not a coder, there are no-code scraping tools you can use to scrape data. There is also the option of delegating the task to a data service.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-scrape-html-data-for-coders\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Scrape_HTML_Data_for_Coders\"><\/span><strong>How to Scrape HTML Data for Coders<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a coder, there is a good number of options available to you when it comes to scraping HTML data. This is because there is a good number of tools available to you. Some provide full-fledged scraping options while others are just a tool you need to make use of. Let&#8217;s take a look at each of these below.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3 id=\"web-scraping-libraries-and-framework\" class=\"ftwp-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Web_Scraping_Libraries_and_Framework\"><\/span><strong>Web Scraping Libraries and Framework<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Most programming languages can be used to scrape data from the web. All that is required is a way to send HTTP requests and a way to parse data out of raw HTML data. If you can find out a way to get these two things done in your programming languages, then you will be able to scrape HTML data.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, popular programming languages provide libraries and frameworks that make it easy for you to scrape data from the web. One thing with these libraries and frameworks is that they are language-dependent.<\/p>\n<p>So, the libraries available to Python developers are not the same as what a Java coder has access to. Because of this, it is not possible for us to exhaust the list of libraries and frameworks for all programming languages.<\/p>\n<p>However, we can take a look at popular libraries and frameworks for a few popular programming languages.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<pre style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Python Libraries and Framework for Web Scraping<\/strong><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Python is the most popular language for web scraping because of its simple syntax, easy-to-learn nature, and huge library support for web scraping. Below are some of the popular web scraping tools you can use to scrape data from HTML.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"1-requests-and-beautifulsoup\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Requests_and_Beautifulsoup\"><\/span><strong>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/pypi.org\/project\/beautifulsoup4\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Requests and Beautifulsoup<\/a><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These are actually two tools. The <a href=\"https:\/\/requests.readthedocs.io\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">requests library<\/a> is an easy-to-use library for sending HTTP requests. This is used for downloading HTML web pages. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crummy.com\/software\/BeautifulSoup\/bs4\/doc\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Beautifulsoup library<\/a> is the extraction library. It is built on a parser and makes it easy for traversing HTML elements for extracting important data points. These two are the easiest option to learn and use.<\/p>\n<p>An Easy sample here,<\/p>\n<p>To scrape HTML data, you will need to use a web scraping library or framework, such as BeautifulSoup, lxml, or Selenium. Here is an example of how to use the BeautifulSoup library to scrape HTML data from a webpage:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Install the BeautifulSoup library using pip:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"bg-black\">\n<div class=\"p-4\"><code class=\"!whitespace-pre-wrap hljs\">pip install beautifulsoup4<br \/>\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Import the necessary modules in your Python script:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"bg-black\">\n<div class=\"p-4\"><code class=\"!whitespace-pre-wrap hljs language-python\"><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">import<\/span> requests<br \/>\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">from<\/span> bs4 <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">import<\/span> BeautifulSoup<br \/>\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Use the requests module to make a GET request to the website you want to scrape data from. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"bg-black\">\n<div class=\"p-4\"><code class=\"!whitespace-pre-wrap hljs language-makefile\">url = <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"http:\/\/www.example.com\"<\/span><br \/>\nresponse = requests.get(url)<br \/>\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Use the BeautifulSoup module to parse the HTML content of the response. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"bg-black\">\n<div class=\"p-4\"><code class=\"!whitespace-pre-wrap hljs language-makefile\">soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"html.parser\"<\/span>)<br \/>\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Use the BeautifulSoup object to extract the data you want. For example, if you want to scrape all of the links on the page, you could use the find_all() method like this:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"bg-black\">\n<div class=\"p-4\"><code class=\"!whitespace-pre-wrap hljs language-makefile\">links = soup.find_all(<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"a\"<\/span>)<br \/>\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>Use a for loop to iterate through the list of links and print out the text and URL for each link. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"bg-black\">\n<div class=\"p-4\"><code class=\"!whitespace-pre-wrap hljs language-bash\"><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">for<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-built_in\">link<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">in<\/span> links:<br \/>\n<span class=\"hljs-built_in\">print<\/span>(link.text, <span class=\"hljs-built_in\">link<\/span>[<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"href\"<\/span>])<br \/>\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This is just a basic example, but it should give you a good starting point for scraping HTML data using the BeautifulSoup library. For more information and examples, you can refer to the official documentation for BeautifulSoup.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h4 id=\"2-scrapy\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Scrapy\"><\/span>2.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scrapy.org\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Scrapy<\/strong><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20540 perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview-768x513.jpg.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20668'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20668'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Scrapy Overview\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview-768x513.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20540\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview-768x513.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview.jpg\" alt=\"Scrapy Overview\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scrapy-Overview-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Scrapy is a full-fledged framework for web scraping.

Without proxies, you will quickly exceed the request limit set by websites and when that happens, you will instantly get blocked from further blocking. While you can use proxies of your choice, I will recommend rotating residential proxies as they are the most undetectable proxies out there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"###brightdata\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bright Data<\/a>, <a href=\"###smartproxy\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smartproxy<\/a>, and <a href=\"###soax\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soax<\/a> are the popular providers of this. However, if you only need to scrape a few pages, you can set delays between requests to scrape without necessarily using proxies.

However, when it comes to scraping HTML data behind pages protected by passwords, doing so can be illegal.<\/p>\n<p>You are advised to seek legal advice from a competent legal practitioner as nothing written here should be taken as legal advice.
