Web scraping, crawling and API are the first step to retrieve information to use for analysis
and to start a new business.
In this tutorial I'll show you how to use python to set up scraping and crawling processes,
how to simulate users navigation and browser behavior with a ghost browser and how to hook up and use data APIs.
I will also try to explain the technical and ethical aspects that we have to consider when we approach these kinds of challenges.
