Intro to web scraping with Selenium
Selenium is a browser automation tool that allows users to interact with HTML elements from any website. In this workshop, we will introduce attendees to Selenium and ChromeDriver, a separate executable that facilitates communication between Selenium and Google Chrome. Attendees will learn to deploy these tools to search for and grab data from websites automatically.
Prerequisites: Participants should be familiar with Python at an introductory level.
