Web scraping pulls data from websites. You turn this data into profit. You sell it to businesses.
Use Python. It is simple. Use these libraries:
- requests
- beautifulsoup4
- pandas
Follow these steps:
- Inspect the site. Use browser developer tools. Find the HTML tags.
- Write your code. Send a request to the website. Parse the HTML. Pull the text.
- Save your work. Use pandas to create a CSV file.
Ways to make money:
- Sell the CSV file.
- Charge a monthly fee for data.
- Build a product with the data.
Example: Sell book prices to a store. Help them track competitors.
