In my experience, this is usually caused by Google Chrome updating to a new version that leaves the Chrome Driver outdated. Periodically, you may come to find that your code has randomly stopped working. Click this link to download and make sure you match up the Chrome Driver version number with the Google Chrome version number you recorded earlier. Chrome Driver will do the work of our application and execute our python code. This will be important for the next tool.Ĭhrome Driver: Our next tool is called Chrome Driver. Then click “Help” and then click “About Chrome”. Once you have it downloaded, click on the stacked triple circle icon in the upper right. If you don’t have it already downloaded, click here. Google Chrome: To get the web-scraper to work you need either Google Chrome or Firefox. I have included some explanation of each tool’s function and what you’ll need to do in order to get them set up correctly. After completing this guide, you will be ready to work on your own web-scraping projects. This tutorial will teach you the basics of web-scraping in Python and will also explain some pitfalls to watch out for. I just reused the same code over and over again, applying it to different websites in a variety of projects. Since then, I really haven’t had the need to learn anything else. I tried libraries, consulted Reddit, browsed Stack Overflow, and googled my heart out until I got the code to finally work. When I first got started, it took many hours. Learning to scrape the web using Python can be quite challenging.
