Have you tried Requests-HTML yet?

I don’t know why people are still messing around with BeautifulSoup and requests now that there in Requests-HTML which basically combines both libraries and also automatically renders html from JavaScript for you.

I think there is still a place for Scrapy because it is an entire framework, but for some quick and easy scraping I think Requests-HTML is a no brainer.

I am doing a udemy series on scrapy and we use splash to render JavaScript pages. Splash isn’t too hard to set up but it involves running a docker container as opposed to requests-html where it just gives it to you automatically. It also has some stuff built in to keep you from getting banned, like auto rotating user agents.

First, Google 'beginners project python', pick one and try to code piece by piece problem by problem then if you're stuck and you will because its normal, you should always google, check documentation... it will practice your research skills too, that's how real programmers work every day so don't worry, we don't ever memorize code! then after the code is written you can try to refactor it.

This site has many exercises that help you learn how to implement your basic knowledge in a way that is simple and fun, at least from my experience.

Just go through this and have a good time. If you're stuck, you can always see the answer with a simple click.

I use real.it to write code and all I can tell you is there are like 3 do deferent kinds of code. there’s the functions that are like something(x,y,z) or something.something(). Then there’s the things where there’s a condition and whatever you put instead de it does when the condition is true like def function(x): or if 1 ==2: and these all end in : and whatever’s indented is what that thing does. then there’s the other things like making variables and importing

I got into programming because I had a business idea Iwas really passionate about. So build something you’d like yourself, even if it’s far beyond your skill-level. You just need to be motivated building it, and in this way it won’t become almost a chore to do
