Welcome to Day 149 of The Complete Python Bootcamp.
In this session, you will explore how to scrape weather forecast data one element at a time using Python and BeautifulSoup.
Breaking the scraping process into smaller steps makes it easier to understand how data is located, extracted and prepared for use. Rather than attempting to collect everything at once, you will focus on isolating individual HTML elements and retrieving specific pieces of forecast information from the webpage.
Today, you will learn how to identify the correct HTML elements, use BeautifulSoup to target them and extract their content in a clear and structured way.
By the end of this lesson, you will have a stronger understanding of how to approach web scraping methodically and how individual pieces of webpage data can be collected before being combined into a complete dataset.
