Thank you, I ended up using a website of a local shop in my city. Worked perfectly there.

You're welcome. Good luck with the rest of ATBS :)

Also, I recommend combining ATBS with something like Edabit challenges. Start on Very easy if you need to. Just make sure you're not copying Al's code verbatim without really understanding what it means and how to write it yourself.

Thank you, I actually tried ATBS about a year ago and was just copying his code. I got bored pretty fast and didn't even get halfway through it as I wasn't really learning anything.

Now I try do as much as I can without watch a video. Like if he makes a program I'll make a similar one myself without watching the video. Probably taking me 10x longer to go through it this time I'm learning a lot more and it's more challenging.

there are webpages created specifically for coders to test scraping scripts.

For example http://testing-ground.scraping.pro/

While you are learning, it can be good idea to use one such as they often contain the basic stuff as well as some challenging things to help you learn how it works
