About the Course

This course will show how one can treat the Internet as a source of data. We will scrape, parse, and read web data as well as access data using web APIs. We will work with HTML, XML, and JSON data formats in Python. This course will cover Chapters 11-13 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-10 of the textbook and the first two courses in this specialization. These topics include variables and expressions, conditional execution (loops, branching, and try/except), functions, Python data structures (strings, lists, dictionaries, and tuples), and manipulating files. This course covers Python 3....

(from someone in a non-computer field) Dr Chuck does a fantastic job of simplifying explanations of how python interacts with online data. This course is a great followup to the earlier python for everyone series.

Highly recommendable course if you want to learn how to access web data using Python. I would have liked to spend more time working with different APIs and getting used to working with different security protocols.

Great course covering a lot of aspects - you will learn advanced technique as well as couple of approaches to the transmission of data across networks. By far the best course in the specialization - knowledge wise.

Yet another excellent course on python.... i think i'm becoming a "pytangelist" if there is such a thing... course is to the point and with all the information that I needed to get started with some fun projects.

An extremely beautiful course for understanding the fundamentals of Web Scraping, also getting a bit tougher as we are heading towards achieving specialization in python but it goes interesting in many ways also.

Great course for looking at the basis of data extraction. There should be a second part though, because I was trying to scrape wikipedia infor and it's very different from the tidy datasets we where working with.

It took me longer than I had hoped to complete this course, but it is very satisfying to finish. Dr. Chuck, I appreciate your passion and your dedication to teaching the world about Python. Thank you very much!

Excellent Course. Apart from Dr Chuck giving great lectures, this course gives a good overview about Python and shouldn't be too difficult even for programming beginners (if you took the previous Python classes).

Very well structured, very informative. It is great that is not going into great detail, but directs the students to more resources, and focuses on the gist of the concepts.

Many thanks for this course, Dr. Chuck!

Good course, but assignments were relatively tougher. I am not criticizing - it actually pushed me to read about topics in detail from various sources. But you have got to be patient while doing the assignments.

This is a good online class for people who are interested with different tools to access web data. Besides the theory and methodology, it has some practical exercise to get familiar with the programing language.
