Korshub's take

Overview

A short, hands-on project course built around a single real task: scraping product data from an e-commerce website using Beautiful Soup and Python's requests library, then storing the results in an Excel file. Rather than covering web scraping theory broadly, it walks through one practical dataset-building project end to end, so you finish with both a working dataset and the process for making your own.

Who it's for

Anyone with basic Python knowledge who wants to stop relying on other people's datasets — data scientists and analysts especially, since the course is framed around creating your own data rather than sourcing it elsewhere.

Key takeaways

Using Beautiful Soup and the requests library to extract web data
A complete workflow from scraping to a cleaned, saved Excel dataset
Only basic Python knowledge is required to follow along

The course includes a Q&A forum for support and is framed around responsible scraping practice.

About this course

In this short course we will scrape data from an E-Commerce website, using Beautiful Soup.

Especially for people who work with data it is important to be able to create own datasets. Often we rely on datasets from someone else. This course should show all data enthusiasts how to scrape and store data in Excel Files.

The requirement for this course is basic knowledge of Python Programming. Since we will not cover very difficult Python topics you do not have to be a professional. The most important characteristic is that you are curious about Web Scraping and Data Mining. You should be ready to invest time in gaining the knowledge which is taught in this course.

After this course you will have the knowledge and the experience to scrape your own data and create your own dataset. With the help of the course resources you will always have documents you can refer to. If you have a question or if a concept just does not make sense to you, you can ask your questions anytime inside the Q&A - Forum. Either the instructor or other students will answer your question. Thanks to the community you will never have the feeling to learn alone by yourself.
