I did similar projects in the past (in php long time ago with curl and tidy, now in python with bs4 or selenium). To avoid bot detection, you can use the tor network, detect captcha request, and simply reconnect tor to get a different IP. Of course, you still need to put random sleeps here and there. Also, you need to be prepared to update or rewrite your code any time the website changes. Nice video!
"Gathering" data from other people is one of the holy grails of programming. OpenAI is the epitome of this aren't they - Gathered data from all of the internet, regurgitated it with "AI magic" and sell it back to consumers as their own.

I just turned 41 and awfully late to investing with barely any portfolio except my 401k, I have a decent amount of cash saved up and with inflation currently soaring AGAIN, I’m getting worried about retirement, my intention is to retire at 65 atleast, so how best do I maximize my savings of over $500k
Retirement is now more difficult than it was in the past. it's all about balancing your risk tolerance with your long-term goals. Maybe consider speaking to an advisor to help in diversifying your portfolio to spread out the risk.
Generally speaking, a good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisor in planning for retirement, For over the past 10years, I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $3m in gains… might not be a lot but retirement doesn’t seem so farfetched anymore.

Just an anecdote, but when I first got into a data role I built a competitor price web scraper for my company. At the time it was supposed to be a show and tell for my boss in case python work came up in the future. It worked well enough for the business to utilize for beating the comp to vendors on price. We could keep tabs on them at a quick enough pace to adjust quotes and win. Didn't always work out but being able to say a python project netted three extra contracts is really cool

Great video! Thank you for talking about web scraping as an IT subset. What most people don't know is that it's extremely hard to build your career around it. I have been running my own web scraping software house for several years now and getting clients is more difficult than if you build apps, create websites, or do virtually anything else. People and companies simply don't have enough awareness what access to real time data can do for their businesses. Creating this awareness is actually the biggest part of my job. Writing code is just a formality afterwards.
Wouldn’t it be better to build tools that solves specific problems more than trying to convince people they need tools they don’t know about? For example I pay more than I want in my business to access a tool that does a small part of a problem I’m trying to fix. I found another tool that fixes the whole problem and I’m happy to spend $30 a month to solve that problem.
He literally used the sponsor's tool in the project. I would use the tool regardless if it was a sponsorship or not so in this case case he makes money at my benefit. I have no problem with this.
I'm trying to build as many projects as I can right now to upgrade my skills and cv. This project idea is really helpful to my resume, I'll try to do it using fastapi and mysql (if possible I'll try to track stock price). Truly appreciated for sharing this project, sir!
I totally agree, I've done a couple of web scraping scripts for some companies, and to get some specific data, however there are a lot of challenges. But in general the rate limiting for APIs and changes in DOM, or catchaps are the most common ones.
@@camilocastrillon2030react does modify the DOM. The dom is updated with the diff of the react virtual Dom. This isn't really the issue with web scraping & Dom changes though.

I've seen people exploiting online job portal sites like Upwork. They hire freelancers from the Philippines to scrap websites rather than building a program, and of course they *CHEAP AF* like we're talking about $2-3 per 100+ websites. Most of them charged $2-3 per hour which is absolutely disgusting.
Clowns like you have said the same thing for years, and still remain employees. If you think one man can take the whole pie, you're very, very mistaken.
Who is buying scraped data - companies would just build it ? or is the value proposition any community that wants/needs to know if data has changed and building some kind of tool to do that?
Tim, your videos look very professional. I see the gear/hardware you use. May I ask what software you use to record your screen and include a picture-in-picture of yourself? I did not see this info anywhere. Thanks in advance!
Great video ❤ one thing I noticed that might be helpful on your code is comments when you’re walking through what each part does. That way anyone who uses it from your GitHub doesn’t have to reference your video each time to hear what it does. Just a small detail I noticed. Otherwise, fantastic idea and project!
I am planning on working on something like this, but I am from africa and i dont have too much knowledge of these GDPR laws and so on, could you make a video on that please?

Isn't Web Scrapping Illegal? Some time ago I had the idea to do a project just like this one and I ended up giving it up because I thought I was illegal. I read it on the website's terms and conditions.
I did something like this for a company I worked for. Setting up slowly changing dimensions tables in python is p hard when there aren’t primary keys for the data you’ve scraped.
@@TannerBarcelosyou are scraping tons of data? Why would you need primary keys? Just collect the data you want, pass it into a pandas dataframe and give it whatever header names (keys) that you want
The idea is cool(the frontend part) except the "pay us to run your code and provide you the data data your code got" part, but what if you would want to scrape like 100k distinct items? The frontend will become just a long scrollbar.
How many pages can you scrape using this approach before Amazon blocks your scraper, and what's the best approach to avoiding detection by Amazon and other sites?
Please can anyone give a RESOURCE for data analyst who want to be able to code things like this. I honestly just need like a roadmap to understand how to even get to this level
Funny enough I used PyQt5 to build a web scraper, I can scrape Amazon without getting block... But with this new information I can extend my web scraper a lot further to make a more complex project. Thank You Very Much Tim...
The Legality of web-scraping is still in the air. But whole thing dates back since 1993, when Google wasn’t invented and engines needed to search for web pages efficiently, like Jumpstation. So it is a real thing you could do, but there are acts you can check before trying it yourself.
If you have an open source content, legally it is 'free for use'. This is how the OSI (Open Source Intelligence) is working. By the way, I've read one report few years ago, the ~70% of information the CIA is gathering, actually, is the Open source content in the Web... Think about it... ;-)

I'm trying to scrap documents from a website with multi layers, so I can use those files with a logical chat bot to reference what I'm looking for, please any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
bear in mind this is illegal in most cases, if you try to start a saas doing this you most probably end up broke if the source of your scraping is copyright protected
Hey i watched some of your videos and i like what you do here ... i was thinking may be if you could do a tutorial on how to Develop an API with Python or JavaScript
But Tim you know what the problem is. When a Co website have T&C that does not allow machine access to their website and your scraper crashes it then they can come after you for damages if they lost a lot of money. And you are the guy who sold this piece of software to the user. Imagine you sold dozens of such scrapers doesnt this put your legal risk very high? As freelancers we need to be very careful about the legal repercussions of our work.
If you don't want to be apart of something that can be a legit legal issue. Do what I do, steer away from it. Use API's instead so you and/or your company can safely exist without getting sued in the future.
Hey, thanks for the great content! Guide me please, what is the road map for learning the tools to understand what you have done in this project and be able to do it on my own?
you can think of a project of your own. and try to make it. if you ran into problems than search on internet. but these kinds of projects are tricky. so you need solid advice. and one thing you do will not work after few months. 😂
one time i found a scraper on internet. but it was slow. so i made it 50x faster. you can think of it like this too. find someting and than optimize it.
good day tim, i just want to mention and ask permission that i will extend this base code. for now i made a private repo and soon on the right time i will make it public and will credit you. thanks
Tech With Tim, dude, big fan, suggestion, get a ton of sleep like a TON like 24 hours then eat and take a shower then a really cold shower, and then go get a professional picture made or just use your camera and then use that pic as your profile pic cause on your profile pic u look like you're going to pass out from too much hard work too many hours (which I understand being a techie myself) your eyes are giving you away. Love your stuff man, thank you tons, keep it up PLEASE, TKX!

Always love seeing your videos really helped me when I was starting out and still a great source for learning new things here and there. Also I know your go to tends to be python and that you have done content with SQL and APIs with Python but in terms of teaching new programmers especially those that come to work on my team the hardest concept to teach is just the overarching idea of how The web in my case that's usually an Angular Project with TS interacts with API (Endpoints etc) and how that API links to our SQL database etc basically just teaching how it all connects from an oversight perspective. I think a video like that would be helpful to newcomers obviously the individual pieces are necessary to know but how they work together is important to ^_^ Regardless Keep up the Great vids :)

I already made few tools and selling them but i have no idea how to sell web scraping data or tools
Also thanks ❤ that's a good starting point
Edit: 9:02 after seeing this i remember i made something similar but it scraps anime each one with it episodes and each episode with stream url and title desc... and then display and stream anime with electron ui but i never finished it cuz i have no idea how to make ui with js
can you do a scraper for movies?
Can you please build a live streaming web app & show us?
I'm trying to scrap documents from a website with multi layers, so I can use those files with a logical chat bot to reference what I'm looking for, please any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
very great vedio like every time
Thanks Tim. Any plan for a detailed tutorial?
bear in mind this is illegal in most cases, if you try to start a saas doing this you most probably end up broke if the source of your scraping is copyright protected
Hey i watched some of your videos and i like what you do here ... i was thinking may be if you could do a tutorial on how to Develop an API with Python or JavaScript
But Tim you know what the problem is. When a Co website have T&C that does not allow machine access to their website and your scraper crashes it then they can come after you for damages if they lost a lot of money. And you are the guy who sold this piece of software to the user. Imagine you sold dozens of such scrapers doesnt this put your legal risk very high?
As freelancers we need to be very careful about the legal repercussions of our work.
If you don't want to be apart of something that can be a legit legal issue. Do what I do, steer away from it. Use API's instead so you and/or your company can safely exist without getting sued in the future.
I'm definitely adding this one to my resume
This is just an advert
Hey, thanks for the great content!
Guide me please, what is the road map for learning the tools to understand what you have done in this project and be able to do it on my own?
you can think of a project of your own. and try to make it. if you ran into problems than search on internet.
but these kinds of projects are tricky. so you need solid advice. and one thing you do will not work after few months. 😂
one time i found a scraper on internet. but it was slow. so i made it 50x faster. you can think of it like this too. find someting and than optimize it.
Oh so it's just an ad. Cool
good day tim, i just want to mention and ask permission that i will extend this base code. for now i made a private repo and soon on the right time i will make it public and will credit you. thanks
thank you my king this sounds so cool
why not use requests and bs4 instead of flask? Or is there some performance benefits.
I believe bs4 only works for raw html code. Many websites use Dynamic code like Js. Then it doesn't work
I love this dude deeply this was the reason I started learning code❤ now some one is give me a repo
Tech With Tim, dude, big fan, suggestion, get a ton of sleep like a TON like 24 hours then eat and take a shower then a really cold shower, and then go get a professional picture made or just use your camera and then use that pic as your profile pic cause on your profile pic u look like you're going to pass out from too much hard work too many hours (which I understand being a techie myself) your eyes are giving you away. Love your stuff man, thank you tons, keep it up PLEASE, TKX!
hello Tim, is it possible to make a video on how to download the newest version of chrome driver, been stucked on it for days... i wanna crai
I saw the same idea before in another video but in puppeteer -_- a stupid ad
Thanks for info
Just wondering haven't played with the program yet. But does the program also record prices differences if items have multiple versions example Red rain coat vs the same rain coat but it's Blue and cost $1 more.
You remind me of that guy who made a song I wanna be a millionaire so f, baad
Hello tim
I have a problem because I asked for a code for the enter button (when you search in Google and when you press the enter button, it gives you the result) Thank you for helping me.
Always love seeing your videos really helped me when I was starting out and still a great source for learning new things here and there.
Also I know your go to tends to be python and that you have done content with SQL and APIs with Python but in terms of teaching new programmers especially those that come to work on my team the hardest concept to teach is just the overarching idea of how The web in my case that's usually an Angular Project with TS interacts with API (Endpoints etc) and how that API links to our SQL database etc basically just teaching how it all connects from an oversight perspective. I think a video like that would be helpful to newcomers obviously the individual pieces are necessary to know but how they work together is important to ^_^
Regardless Keep up the Great vids :)
Thanks for this video. How did you bypass Playwright default timeout? It sees that Playwright has a default timeout of 3000ms regardless of setting await in line 106 to 60000 or even Wait=commit
just a Brightdata ad and python is extremely slow
Can we run whole project without brightdata functionality for website which do not blocks or medium level security in it?
Can you tell, what thing did you do to monetize through webscraping
a 20 year old idea that had been exploited to the maximum already. i myself used it to steal real time data in commercial goods trading. dont want to get specific to avoid saturation in that field next to the legal issues.
Thank you
I can build a web scraper in Python selenium that spits data into a csv. But where could I go to learn to do something like this?
Refined marketing approach... Brilliantly done
Do you have a video of web scraping data using javascript and nodejs?
Mr Tim is automation with java a a good thing ?
wich better java or python for automation
Thanks for sharing this project with us !!! 👍
