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....

Another in an excellent series of Python courses. Thanks for making the videos shorter, it's hard to download stuff here in Southeast Asia.

I like this course. Though there is some thing unclear in the week 6. I think it would be better to explain more basic concept about API.

Really nice course. It is a bit dense, so it takes time to digest what you see in the lectures but if you put the effort you learn a lot.
