APIs are a great way to consume publicly accessible data. But what do you do when there's no API? Enter web scraping: a way you can harvest data out of the same HTML documents you look at in your web browser.

We'll talk about:

• What is web scraping?
• What is Scrapy and why should you use it?
• How to scrape data from HTML elements in a web page

Source code for the example project in the talk will be available!
