Building a Python Web Scraper

Introduction
Web scraping involves extracting data from websites for analysis or automation. Python,
with libraries like BeautifulSoup and Requests, is a popular choice for creating web
scrapers.

Steps to Build a Web Scraper


1. **Install Necessary Libraries**: Use pip to install BeautifulSoup and Requests.

2. **Identify the Target Website**: Analyze the HTML structure using browser developer
tools.

3. **Write the Code**: Fetch the webpage content and parse it with BeautifulSoup.

4. **Extract Data**: Use tags and attributes to locate specific information.

Example Code
```python
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://example.com'
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')
print(soup.title.text)
```

Conclusion
Web scraping is a powerful technique for gathering data. However, always respect website
terms of service and ethical guidelines when scraping data.
