Pls add a web scraping tutorial in details from basic on how to find elements variable names on a webpage to automatic log in on a particular website and scrape the data.

I may do one in the future just for kicks, but, basically, just use beautiful soup 4, and follow their tutorial on the website. The reason why I have not done a tutorial on it is because BS4 is very simple and I think their tutorial is fine http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/

Hi Harrison there is a python module called scrappy. I think it is a little bit more advanced.

I am also aware of scrapy. Never needed anything more than bs4, so I have never used it, thanks for the pointer tho!
