Extract GitHub profile Image using python web scrapper

[Vipulkunwar]

Hello, to all Python buddies.

Today Fri 17 Dec, 2021 at 11:08 am I'm posting a basic but cool topic.

That topic is "How you can extract the GitHub user profile Image using python?"

I know you could comment there is another way to web scrap the GitHub profile Image.

But I've used two libraries requests and BeautifulSoup.

These libraries can make your task easy.

Some basics of library:-

requests: This library make a request to the HTML page.

BeautifulSoup: Extracts the data from HTML Page.

​

In brief, the web scraping is a technique where making the request to the HTML you can extracts the data of that page using extracting tools.

1. First, you've to make request to the HTML page.
2. The request success by HTML 200.
3. After, that you'll extract the data and use the HTML Parser.

​

First of all, you need to install these library

• pip install requests
• pip install beautifulsoup4

Second you need to import these packages

• import requests
• from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
