Scraping the Web with Python Beautiful Soup

Wanna collect large amount of data but don't want to deal with silly APIs? Come and learn a very useful skill using python. During this session I will teach how to scrape the web with the Python Beautiful Soup library. We will select a couple fun websites with the campers attending the session and scrape the contents including text and images with some simple lines of code.

All levels are welcomed but we encourage you to attend Allison Parrish's Python for Beginners session on Tuesday June 5th ( https://itp.nyu.edu/camp2018/session/69) Please bring your laptop and install Chrome and Anaconda beforehand: https://www.anaconda.com/download/
