The importance of Web Scraping

Project overview

This project is an example to showcase the many capabilities that Robotic Process Automation (RPA) using Python has. Web scraping is one of these applications and is mainly used to extract required data from websites. Whether you’re looking to populate your online stores with products or gather necessary public information from companies or targeted clientele online, web scraping can be the tool that replaces all of that manual work.

In the video, we used the case of scraping data from BestBuy to gather information on specific laptops that are publicly listed on their website. The example provided can be applied on numerous websites and we make sure that it is feasible before heading into the project.

Execution

We start by identifying the variables on the website that need to be extracted. Then, we determine the order in which the scraping happens to make sure that the integrity of the data is preserved. Finally, we make sure that the data extracted is fed to your database or website management software automatically. We can of course keep the extracted data in the form of a CSV, TXT or Excel file to consult it manually.

Moreover, we make sure to list the predefined errors that might occur during the scraping such as a change in the URL structure for example. Our developers are immediately notified and fix the issue on the spot. Every job is registered in a log file to make sure that everything is documented.

Project results

The output is truly remarkable. Imagine you need to add 100,000 products to your website and can’t find the budget or the manpower to execute that challenging task. RPA is the solution as it mimics human interactions online through the power of coding. You can also decide the frequency at which the job runs according to your needs. All of these manual tasks are now fully automated and error-free and you can save thousands of dollars by creating that module for your business.
