Collecting Web Data at UNSW Online
30 - 31 May 2023
Collecting Web Data at UNSW Online https://intersect.org.au/training/schedule https://dresa.org.au/events/collecting-web-data-at-unsw-online-e23e7cfc-b4f8-44b6-911b-8b61baa18e18 Web scraping is a technique for extracting information from websites. This can be done manually but it is usually faster, more efficient and less error-prone if it can be automated. Web scraping allows you to convert non-tabular or poorly structured data into a usable, structured format, such as a .csv file or spreadsheet. But scraping is about more than just acquiring data: it can help you track changes to data online, and help you archive data. In short, it's a skill worth learning. So join us for this web scraping workshop to learn web scraping, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation. #### You'll learn: - The concept of structured data - The use of XPath queries on HTML document - How to scrape data using browser extensions - How to scrape using Python and Scrapy - How to automate the scraping of multiple web pages #### Prerequisites: A good knowledge of the basic concepts and techniques in Python. Consider taking our [Learn to Program: Python](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python101/) and [Python for Research](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python110/) courses to come up to speed beforehand. **For more information, please click [here](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/webdata201).** 2023-05-30 13:30:00 UTC 2023-05-31 12:30:00 UTC Intersect Australia Australia Australia UNSW training@intersect.org.au [] [] [] host_institution [] -

This can be done manually but it is usually faster, more efficient and less error-prone if it can be automated. Web scraping allows you to convert non-tabular or poorly structured data into a usable, structured format, such as a .csv file or spreadsheet. But scraping is about more than just acquiring data: it can help you track changes to data online, and help you archive data. In short, it's a skill worth learning. So join us for this web scraping workshop to learn web scraping, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation. #### You'll learn: - The concept of structured data - The use of XPath queries on HTML document - How to scrape data using browser extensions - How to scrape using Python and Scrapy - How to automate the scraping of multiple web pages #### Prerequisites: A good knowledge of the basic concepts and techniques in Python. Consider taking our [Learn to Program: Python](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python101/) and [Python for Research](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python110/) courses to come up to speed beforehand. **For more information, please click [here](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/webdata201).** 2023-05-30 13:30:00 UTC 2023-05-31 12:30:00 UTC Intersect Australia Australia Australia UNSW training@intersect.org.au [] [] [] host_institution [] -
