Jakob Greenfeld – Scraping The Web For Fun and Profit

In the past 12 months, I built 5 profitable businesses and made over $100,000 leveraging my web scraping skills.
In this course, I’m for the first time sharing everything I know about the topic.

You’ll learn:

• The basics of web scraping using Python libraries such as Beautiful Soup.
• Effective strategies to speed up your scraping scripts and reduce error rates.
• How to avoid getting blocked.
• Advanced screen scraping methods that will allow you to scrape websites that require a login.
• How to reverse engineer browser requests.
• How to find undocumented APIs and use them to extract information that’s not publicly available.
• What I’ve learned about building and selling data products.

You’ll get access to:

• 10+ videos (á 20-40minutes each). In each video, I’m showing you how to solve real-world problems that occur when we’re scraping a specific website.
• All the source code used in the videos.
• All videos and content that will be added in the future. (I’ll be adding additional videos over time based on the feedback I’m getting.)

The course is non-linear and self-paced. This way you can always pick whatever lesson is most relevant given your current situation.
