Web Scraping
Domain: Internet & Web
🎯 Motivation
Extracting data from web pages by parsing HTML. Useful when no API is available.
📋 Concrete Example
Scraping: fetch ‘https://news.com’, parse HTML, extract all
tags (headlines). Return: [‘AI Breakthrough’, ‘New Phone Released’, …]. Get data from any website, even without an API.
🔗 Analogy
Web scraping is like clipping newspaper articles - you go to the newsstand (website), find the articles you want (headlines), and clip them (extract). No subscription (API) needed, but you must do the work yourself.
