Scraping, or as they say in RuNet, data parsing, means the automatic collection of information with subsequent storage, processing and analysis of the data.

With the help of parsers, we can extract gigabytes of data in seconds, around the clock and automatically. Having mastered the skills of parsing, we can collect information from exchanges, parse various resources, articles, and based on them write algorithms for training trading bots.

Your photos, social media account addresses, phone numbers and other contact information will always be at risk of being scraped if carelessly placed on websites.

On freelance exchanges, the lion's share of orders consists of proposals to write parsers. Having mastered a profession that seems complicated at first glance, you can easily earn a couple of hundred evergreens. Agree, this is a nice addition to your main job.

Collecting, processing and classifying information using neural networks. learn to make decisions for us.

Companies can analyze products, prices, discounts from competitors and constantly fight for the attention of customers, stealing information about new products from each other.

Parsing is not always the dark side of the cookie. In my practice, I often encounter quite harmless orders, for example, for parsing reviews or comments. Simply, the person who created the site does not want to fill it out manually, because it is long and tedious. It’s easier to pay $100 for a ready-made base and relieve yourself of monotonous and routine work.

Data scraping is completely legal. The possibilities of this tool, coupled with the analysis and classification of the data obtained, are essentially limitless. You can parse everything, you just need to know how the fascinating world of information, big data, deep learning and neural networks will open up before you. The main thing is not to stop, learn something new, constantly moving forward.

Purpose of this course:
