Collecting Data with Web Scraping In-Person
Participants will learn how to create a textual corpus using web scraping techniques. We will use Python's Beautiful Soup library to scrape textual data from websites.
This is an intermediate workshop intended for those with basic familiarity with the command line and programming concepts. Beginners are welcome to attend - given the caveat that intensive technical support will not be available during the workshop - in the spirit of developing computational thinking skills and deepening an understanding of what is possible in digital humanities projects.
If you are bringing your own laptop, please come with Python 2.x and Anaconda installed.
As a part of NYU's commitment to global inclusion, our events and initiatives are open to individuals of all backgrounds and identities.
