Welcome to Day 148 of The Complete Python Bootcamp.
In this session, you will apply everything you have learned about web scraping by building a practical project that extracts the extended weather forecast from the National Weather Service website.
This project brings together the core web scraping concepts covered throughout this section of the course. You will use the requests library to retrieve webpage content and BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML, locate specific elements and extract structured weather data. Along the way, you will gain valuable experience working with a real website and solving practical data extraction challenges.
Today, you will learn how to analyse a webpage, identify the HTML elements containing the forecast and build a Python program that automatically retrieves and organises weather information.
By the end of this lesson, you will have completed a real world web scraping project and strengthened your ability to collect, process and work with online data using Python.
