But there's lots of tutorials out there, like this one from W3Schools, that can get you up to speed with the basics and let you play around with it if you're not really comfortable with HTML. I was lucky enough to learn HTML in elementary school (my final project in the 5th grade was a Sailor Moon fan site, complete with starry page background and at least one element), so it's hard for me to remember not knowing this stuff. Especially once you get into Python-based web scraping, CSS becomes important, too. Web scraping is a lot easier if you know at least a little bit about HTML, how it's structured, and some common elements. If you have multiple pages (and especially if you're putting in a range), it's often best to start by putting in a single page, setting up the scraper, checking the results, and seeing if you need to make any modifications before you scrape hundreds of pages without capturing what you need. For the URL, I just put in the URL for the main book series.

In our case, though, we have eight different web pages we want to scrape for URLs, one for each book (sub-)series.įirst, we'll give our scraper a name (it can be almost anything I went with bsc_fan_wiki_link_scraper). if you go to the second page of results and you see the URL is the same except for something like ?page=2 on the end), you can set a range here, e.g. If you're trying to scrape multiple pages of data, and the site uses pagination that involves appending some page number to the end of the URL (e.g. The first page is where you put in the start URL of the page you want to scrape. If you run into trouble with the instructions here, importing one of our sitemaps and playing around with it might help you understand it better.) (Note: if you want to import an existing sitemap, like one of the complete ones that we've posted at the Data-Sitters Club GitHub repo for this book, you can choose 'Import Sitemap' and copy and paste the text from the appropriate sitemap text file into the text field. Using Webscraper.io's menu, go to Create new sitemap > Create sitemap, as shown by arrow 3, above. Next, you need to 1) access it in your browser by opening the Developer Tools panel, then 2) choose Web Scraper from the tabs at the top of the panel.

Webscraper.io is a plugin for the Chrome browser, so first you need to install it from the Chrome store. Webscraper.io was going to be a good tool for this job. I knew the Baby-Sitters Club Wiki on had the data I needed, presented as well-structured metadata on each book page. One of the things that makes this an easy example is because it's unusually well-structured HTML most real-world examples aren't that easy. If your data is complex, or spread across lots of different websites, the Webscraper.io plugin discussed below may not be the right tool for you. If you need to scrape data from webpages, it's a good place to start if you're not already comfortable with Python. When I need to do something simple, quick, and relatively small-scale, I go with webscraper.io, even though it gives you less flexibility in structuring and exporting your results compared to Python. Num = lect(selector).Web scraping with Webscraper.io (adapted from The Data-Sitters Club)

#I used a CSS selector but anything can be used to grab it Soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, 'html.parser') Luckily, there is a little box that displays how many pages there are at the right end of the page next to the pagination window. Now, all you need to do is extract the maximum number of pages and then use a simple for loop to get your urls. The clear pattern is that the counter starts at 0 and increases by 20 for each page. Soup = BeautifulSoup(respon.text, 'html5lib')

Respon = requests.get(urls, headers=headers) 'accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/* q=0.8', I want to print all the pages until the last one, while in pagination there are only 9 lists, whereas on the web there are 24 pages import requests Is it possible to print all the pages on the web, I have problems with pagination, it should print all pages on the web, but it only displays 9 pages, while on the web there are 24 pages,
