Library Carpentry: Introduction to Webscraping

May 12 and 13, 2022 from 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm

This event is a hybrid, two-day, example-driven workshop on May 12 and 13, 2022 for using Xpath and Scrapy to turn web pages into analyzable data.  Both synchronous remote and in-person attendance will be supported, and there will be two types of tickets (in-person, remote) for you to choose from.  This workshop will navigate you through some basic web scraping techniques including how to use XPath and the Chrome web browser with the Scraper extension to extract data from the web without needing to write code.  We will also discuss the ethics of web scraping.
