Summary

In this chapter, we saw how we can write a custom crawler from scratch. This task is made easier using Python's modules, such as requests, BeautifulSoup, and so on. Feel free to download the whole code base and test the crawler with various other websites in order to examine its coverage. There may be occasions in which the crawler does not give 100% coverage. Take a look and see for yourself the limitations of the crawler and how it can be improved.
