1. Multitudes of Web
Scraping
Web scraping, also often know as web harvesting or web data extraction, primarily, is a technique
used for extracting data from the websites. It uses the world wide web directory to access the huge
database through hypertext transfer protocol and compare and analyse the desired content.
Though, it can be done manually too, but an automated process is hassle free, can handle larger
data and provided higher accuracy of results.
Web Scraping is done extensively with the
help of Python. Reason being that Python is
superfast for this job. Python has a library
called “Beautiful soup” which is required for
extracting the data out of the HTML and XML
files. It works with one’s favourite parser to
provide idiomatic ways of navigating, searching
and modifying the parse tree. It makes the job
much more easier and saves the time.
“Beautiful soup” can do a variety of things but it
has its own limitation. It cannot send a request on to the web page. So for making the requests,

2. requests are used and then further Beautiful soup can be used. Another python module which is
used for getting the URLs is Urllib2 is also used.
By why is Web Scraping used? The answer to
this lies in the fact that, web scraping:-
• Boosts Employment as there are various processes which come under the umbrella of web
scraping where manpower in required to be engaged.
• Optimizes resources as it helps in developing strategic plans and creating modules which

• Boosts profits as once the well planned strategies are executed, they are sure to reap
amazing results in terms of company profits as well as in terms of helping the respective
