Summary

This chapter analyzed a variety of prominent websites and demonstrated how the techniques covered in this book can be applied to them. We applied CSS selectors to scrape Google results, tested a browser renderer and an API to scrape Facebook pages, used a Sitemap to crawl Gap, and took advantage of an AJAX call to scrape all BMW dealers from a map.

You can now apply the techniques covered in this book to scrape websites that contain data of interest to you. I hope you enjoy this power as much as I have!
