Python is one of the most versatile high-level programming languages ever developed. Rather than having to jump into strict syntax rules, Python reads like English and is simple to understand for someone new to programming. This allows you to obtain a basic knowledge of coding practices without having to obsess over smaller details that are often important in other languages. Let’s suppose you want to get some information from a website? Let’s say an article from the geeksforgeeks website or some news article, what will you do?

In this book, we will discuss how to perform web scraping using the requests library and Beautiful Soup library in Python.
