Scraping Using PyQuery, a jQuery-Like Library for Python
In the previous chapters, you learned about the basics of web scraping, the technologies involved, data-finding techniques, and traversing markup documents for data with the help of some Python code.
Web scraping is a handful of tasks that involve reverse engineering techniques. It entails exploring a website (examining its content-related structure, DevTools, paginations, and more), preparing or installing tools (libraries and so on), coding and testing, and finally, collecting data in files, clouds, databases, and many more places. In this chapter, we will be learning about web scraping using the PyQuery Python library; this library assists us in the use of concepts such as XPath, CSS selectors, and parsing markup documents. PyQuery provides a jQuery-like ability to write less, do more, which is very significant when coding web scrapers.
In particular, this chapter will cover the following topics:
