How can I use web scraping to gather data?

Web scraping involves extracting data from websites using automated tools. What specific data are you looking to collect?

I'm interested in gathering product prices from e-commerce sites.

You can use libraries like Beautiful Soup or Scrapy in Python to scrape product prices. Do you need help with a specific library?

Yes, I want to use Beautiful Soup. Can you provide a simple example?

Sure! Here's a basic example: First, install Beautiful Soup and requests. Then, use the following code to scrape prices:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://example.com/products'
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')

for price in soup.find_all('span', class_='price'):
    print(price.text)
