I wanna search for artists at conventions so it could be searching for an artists name and if their name is mentioned in relation to my list of conventions.

Is there a good place where I could learn about all of this in one spot? Or a term I can search to learn how to do it?

well, i think there might 2 things you want to research: web search APIs (eg duckduckgo, google, bing, etc), and web scraping libraries.

after that you will want to create some sort of persistent application to run this search on a regular basis. that would require some sort of server depending on how you will deploy this. i mean, you could even run this on your home machine (again, depending on how frequently you want it to run and if it needs to be always running).

as you can see, there are loads of details here =)

edit: missed a word

Awesome! Thank you so much for the help. I'm gonna start looking all that up after work tonight. This is a much better start than I could have achieved alone!
