When people hear about the word web scraping, their minds go to pulling data off webpages. What these people do not know is that the bulk of the work is not actually downloading a webpage but pulling out the specific data you need, and this is done through data parsing. This is because for you to download a webpage, all you need is just to send an HTTP GET request, and the whole page will be scraped for you. However, depending on the specific data you require, pulling the data out can become a difficult task in cases where the webpage is unstructured.<\/p>\n

Even for structured pages<\/a>, data not embedded in its own HTML tag but combined together with other large chunks of text can be difficult to extract. Think of texts such as phone numbers, emails<\/a>, and home addresses of people. How do you parse such data from online forums where the data aren\u2019t located in specific tags and areas you can easily pick out with the help of CSS selectors<\/a>? If you have a little bit of information about web scraping<\/a>, you will know that this is one of the most difficult tasks in the process.<\/p>\n

However, that it is difficult does not mean it can\u2019t be done, and this is why this article has been written.<\/p>\n\n
