diy ao3 wrapped: how to get your data!
so i figured out how to do this last year, and spotify wrapped season got me thinking about it again. a couple people in discord asked how to do it so i figured i'd write up a little guide! i'm not quite done with mine for this year yet because i wanted to do some graphics, but this is the post i made last year, for reference!
this got long! i tried to go into as much detail as possible to make it as easy as possible, but i am a web developer, so if there's anything i didn't explain enough (or if you have any other questions) don't hesitate to send me an ask!!
references
i used two reddit posts as references for this:
basic instructions (explains the browser extension; code gets title, word count, and author)
expanded instructions (code gets title, word count, and author, as well as category, date posted, last visited, warnings, rating, fandom, relationship, summary, and completion status, and includes instructions for how to include tags and switch fandoms/relationships to multiple—i will include notes on that later)
both use the extension webscraper.io which is available for both firefox and chrome (and maybe others, but i only use firefox/chrome personally so i didn't check any others, sorry. firefox is better anyway)
scraping your basic/expanded data
first, install the webscraper plugin/extension.
once it's installed, press ctrl+shift+i on pc or cmd+option+i on mac to open your browser's dev tools and navigate to the Web Scraper tab
from there, click "Create New Site Map" > "Import Sitemap"
it will open a screen with a field to input json code and a field for name—you don't need to manually input the name, it will fill in automatically based on the json you paste in. if you want to change it after, changing one will change the other.
i've put the codes i used on pastebin here: basic // expanded
once you've pasted in your code, you will want to update the USERNAME (highlighted in yellow) to your ao3 username, and the LASTPAGE (highlighted in pink) to the last page you want to scrape. to find this, go to your history page on ao3, and click back until you find your first fic of 2024! make sure you go by the "last visited" date instead of the post date.
if you do want to change the id, you can update the value (highlighted in blue) and it will automatically update the sitemap name field, or vice versa. everything else can be left as is.
once you're done, click import, and it'll show you the sitemap. on the top bar, click the middle tab, "Sitemap [id of sitemap]" and choose Scrape. you'll see a couple of options—the defaults worked fine for me, but you can mess with them if you need to. as far as i understand it, it just sets how much time it takes to scrape each page so ao3 doesn't think it's getting attacked by a bot. now click "start scraping"!
once you've done that, it will pop up with a new window which will load your history. let it do its thing. it will start on the last page and work its way back to the first, so depending on how many pages you have, it could take a while. i have 134 pages and it took about 10-12 minutes to get through them all.
once the scrape is done, the new window will close and you should be back at your dev tools window. you can click on the "Sitemap [id of sitemap]" tab again and choose Export data.
i downloaded the data as .xlsx and uploaded to my google drive. and now you can close your dev tools window!
from here on out my instructions are for google sheets; i'm sure most of the queries and calculations will be similar in other programs, but i don't really know excel or numbers, sorry!
setting up your spreadsheet
once it's opened, the first thing i do is sort the "viewed" column A -> Z and get rid of the rows for any deleted works. they don't have any data so no need to keep them. next, i select the columns for "web-scraper-order" and "web-scraper-start-url" (highlighted in pink) and delete them; they're just default data added by the scraper and we don't need them, so it tidies it up a little.
this should leave you with category, posted, viewed, warning, rating, fandom, relationship, title, author, wordcount, and completion status if you used the expanded code. if there are any of these you don't want, you can go ahead and delete those columns also!
next, i add blank columns to the right of the data i want to focus on. this just makes it easier to do my counts later. in my case these will be rating, fandom, relationship, author, and completion status.
one additional thing you should do, is checking the "viewed" column. you'll notice that it looks like this:
you can't really sort by this since it's text, not formatted as a date, so it'll go alphabetically by month rather than sorting by date. but, you'll want to be able to get rid of any entries that were viewed in 2023 (there could be none, but likely there are some because the scraper got everything on your last page even if it was viewed in 2023). what i did here was use the "find" dialog to search the "viewed" column for 2023, and deleted those rows manually.
ctrl/cmd+f, click the 3 dots for "more options". you want to choose "Specific range", then "C2:C#". replace C with the letter of your viewed column (remember i deleted a bunch, so yours may be different) and replace # with the number of the last row of your spreadsheet. then find 2023, select the rows containing it, right click > delete rows.
it isn't super necessary to do this, it will only add at most 19 fics to your count, but the option is there!
alright, with all that done, your sheet should look something like this:
exposing myself for having read stardew valley fic i guess
now for the fun part!!!
the math
yes, the math is the fun part.
scroll all the way down to the bottom of your sheet. i usually add 100 blank rows at the bottom just so i have some space to play with.
most of these will basically be the same query, just updating for the relevant column. i've put it in a pastebin here, but here's a screenshot so i can walk you through it:
you'll want to use lines 3-10, select the cell you want to put your data into, and paste the query into the formula bar (highlighted in green)
so, we're starting with rating, which is column E for me. if yours is a different letter you'll need to replace all the E's with the relevant letter.
what this does is it goes through the entire column, starting with row 2 (highlighted in yellow) and ending with your final row (highlighted in blue, you'll want to change this number to reflect how many rows you have). note that row 2 is your first actual data row, because of the header row.
it checks each row that has a value (line 5), groups by unique value (row 6), and arranges in descending order (row 7) by how many there are of each value (row 8). finally, row 10 determines how many rows of results you'll have; for rating, i put 5 because that's how many ratings there are, but you can increase the number of results (highlighted in pink) for other columns depending on how many you want. this is why i added the 100 extra rows!
next to make the actual number visible, go to the cell one column over. this is why we added the empty columns! next to your first result, add the second query from the pastebin:
your first and second cell numbers (highlighted in yellow and blue) should match the numbers from your query above, and the third number (highlighted in pink) should be the number of the cell with your first value. what this does is go through your column and count how many times the value occurs.
repeat this for the rest of the rows and you should end up with something like this! don't judge me and my reading habits please
now you can go ahead and repeat for the rest of your columns! as i mentioned above, you can increase the amount of result rows you get; i set it to 25 for fandom, relationship, and author, just because i was curious, and only two for completion status because it's either complete or not complete.
you should end up with something like this!
you may end up with some multiples (not sure why this happens, tagging issues maybe?) and up to you if you want to manually fix them! i just ended up doing a find and replace for the two that i didn't want and replaced with the correct tag.
now for the total wordcount! this one is pretty simple, it just adds together your entire column. first i selected the column (N for me) and went to Format > Number > 0 so it stripped commas etc. then at the bottom of the column, add the third query from the pastebin. as usual, your first number is the first data row, and the second is the last data row.
and just because i was curious, i wanted the average wordcount also, so in another cell i did this (fourth query from the pastebin), where the first number is the cell where your total is, and the second number is the total number of fics (total # of data rows minus 1 for the header row).
which gives me this:
tadaaaa!
getting multiple values
so, as i mentioned above, by default the scraper will only get the first value for relationships and fandoms. "but sarah," you may say, "what if i want an accurate breakdown of ALL the fandoms and relationships if there's multiples?"
here's the problem with that: if you want to be able to query and count them properly, each fandom or relationship needs to be its own row, which would skew all the other data. for me personally, it didn't bother me too much; i don't read a lot of crossovers, and typically if i'm reading a fic it's for the primary pairing, so i think the counts (for me) are pretty accurate. if you want to get multiples, i would suggest doing a secondary scrape to get those values separately.
if you want to edit the scrape to get multiples, navigate to one of your history pages (preferably one that has at least one work with multiple fandoms and/or relationships so you can preview) then hit ctrl+shift+i/cmd+option+i, open web scraper, and open your sitemap. expand the row and you should see all your values. find the one you want to edit and hit the "edit" button (highlighted in pink)
on the next screen, you should be good to just check the "Multiple" checkbox (highlighted in pink):
you can then hit "data preview" (highlighted in blue) to get a preview which should show you all the relationships on the page (which is why i said to find a page that has the multiples you are looking for, so you can confirm).
voila! now you can go back to the sitemap and scrape as before.
getting tag data
now, on the vein of multiples, i also wanted to get my most-read tags.
as i mentioned above, if you want to get ALL the tags, it'll skew the regular count data, so i did the tags in a completely separate query, which only grabs the viewed date and the tags. that code is here. you just want to repeat the scraping steps using that as a sitemap. save and open that spreadsheet.
the first thing you'll notice is that this one is a LOT bigger. for context i had 2649 fics in the first spreadsheet; the tags spreadsheet had 31,874 rows.
you can go ahead and repeat a couple of the same steps from before: remove the extra scraper data columns, and then we included the "viewed" column for the same reason as before, to remove any entries from 2023.
then you're just using the same basic query again!
replace the E with whatever your column letter is, and then change your limit to however many tags you want to see. i changed the limit to 50, again just for curiosity.
if you made it this far, congratulations! now that you have all that info, you can do whatever you want with it!
and again, if you have any questions please reach out!

Overview of the importance of LinkedIn scraping
LinkedIn scraping refers to the process of extracting data from LinkedIn profiles and pages using a specialized tool. It has become increasingly important for businesses and professionals alike. With over 700 million users, LinkedIn provides a wealth of valuable information that can be utilized for various purposes such as lead generation, market research, competitor analysis, recruitment, and networking.
One of the key reasons why LinkedIn scraping tools is important is because it allows businesses to gather valuable insights about their target audience. By analyzing user profiles and collecting data on job titles, industries, skills, and connections, companies can gain a better understanding of their potential customers' needs and preferences. This information can then be used to tailor marketing strategies or develop new products and services that cater specifically to these requirements.
Moreover, LinkedIn scraping can also help professionals in their career development efforts. By automating the process of gathering contacts and connections from relevant industry influencers or thought leaders, individuals can expand their network significantly faster than traditional methods. Additionally, by examining patterns in job descriptions or skill sets required for certain roles within an industry or company, professionals can identify areas for improvement in their own skill set or even uncover hidden job opportunities.
What is LinkedIn scraping: Explanation and definition
LinkedIn scraping refers to the process of extracting data from LinkedIn profiles or pages using automated software or tools. This technique allows users to gather relevant information such as job titles, companies, and contact details for networking or marketing purposes. A LinkedIn scraping tool enables users to navigate through the vast database of professionals on the platform and retrieve valuable insights that would normally take hours of manual searching.
Although some might argue that LinkedIn scraping violates the platform's terms of service, many businesses and recruiters view it as an efficient way to source talent or generate leads. By automating the process, it saves time and effort compared to manually visiting individual profiles. However, with increased concerns about privacy and data protection, it is important for practitioners of LinkedIn scraping to be mindful of ethical considerations and regulations surrounding data usage. Additionally, as technology evolves, so do the methods employed in these tools; advanced algorithms are now capable of offering more accurate search results by identifying patterns within user behavior and preferences.
Tools for scraping LinkedIn accounts: Popular options
One popular option for scraping LinkedIn accounts is LinkedIn Job Scraping Tool. This tool allows users to extract job listings and relevant data from LinkedIn, such as company names, job titles, and locations. It offers a variety of features including the ability to search by keyword, location, industry, or company name. With this tool, users can save time by automating the process of finding and organizing job opportunities from LinkedIn.
Another widely used tool for scraping LinkedIn accounts is Dux-Soup. This Chrome extension enables users to automate their lead generation activities on LinkedIn. It allows you to visit profiles in bulk, endorse skills automatically, send personalized messages to connections or prospects, and
even export data like job titles or industries into CSV files for further analysis. These capabilities make it an invaluable tool for professionals looking to expand their network or generate leads through LinkedIn.
Overall, these popular tools for scraping LinkedIn accounts are essential resources for anyone looking to streamline their job search efforts or enhance their lead generation activities on the platform. With the ability to extract relevant data efficiently and automate various tasks on LinkedIn, they offer valuable insights and help users maximize their productivity in leveraging this powerful professional networking platform.
Benefits of using a LinkedIn scraping tool
LinkedIn is arguably the most powerful platform for professional networking and job hunting. However, manually extracting data from LinkedIn profiles can be a tedious and time-consuming task. This is where a LinkedIn scraping tool comes in handy. By using such a tool, users can automate the process of extracting valuable data from multiple LinkedIn profiles quickly and efficiently.
One of the key benefits of using a LinkedIn scraping tool is saving time. Instead of spending hours manually gathering information, users can simply input their search criteria into the tool and let it do the work for them. This not only frees up precious time but also allows users to focus on more meaningful tasks, such as connecting with potential clients or building relationships with industry influencers.
Moreover, a LinkedIn scraping tool provides users with access to a vast amount of data that would otherwise be inaccessible or difficult to obtain. From contact details and job titles to educational backgrounds and work experience, this tool can extract comprehensive profiles that offer valuable insights about potential business partners or candidates for job openings.
Tips for successful LinkedIn scraping
Web scraping on LinkedIn can be an incredibly powerful tool for businesses and individuals alike. However, to ensure successful scraping and avoid any ethical or legal issues, there are a few tips to keep in mind. Firstly, make sure you have a clear understanding of LinkedIn's terms of service and adhere to them strictly. Respect their guidelines regarding data usage and access limitations.
Secondly, consider using reliable web scraping tools that offer anti-blocking measures. LinkedIn has implemented several countermeasures to prevent scraping activity, such as CAPTCHA tests and IP blocking. Using robust scraping software that can handle these challenges will improve your chances of success.
Finally, it is crucial to rotate your proxies when scraping LinkedIn profiles. This helps distribute the workload across different IP addresses and reduces the risk of getting blocked by the platform. Additionally, setting up proper rate limits between requests will make your activity appear more natural.
Conclusion: Final thoughts on the topic
In conclusion, the use of a LinkedIn data extractor has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we gather information and make strategic decisions in today's fast-paced digital world. This invaluable tool allows us to access a vast amount of professional data with just a few clicks, providing us with valuable insights into potential business opportunities and collaborations.
One of the most remarkable aspects of using a LinkedIn data extractor is its ability to streamline and automate the process of collecting crucial information. Gone are the days of manual searching and painstakingly compiling spreadsheets. With this tool, we can now save valuable time and resources by effortlessly extracting relevant data such as contact details, job titles, or industry preferences. This newfound efficiency allows businesses to focus on what truly matters: making meaningful connections and driving growth.
However, it is vital to remember that while LinkedIn data extractors offer unparalleled convenience, they should always be used ethically and responsibly. Respecting privacy policies and obtaining proper consent when using extracted data is critical for maintaining trust within professional networks. Additionally, staying up-to-date with any changes in regulations regarding data usage ensures compliance while mitigating potential legal risks.

It’s time to make a project folder named booking-hotel-scraper. In this folder, add one Python file named scrape.py
After that, paste the code given here in scrape.py
from selectorlib import Extractor import requests from time import sleep import csv # Create an Extractor by reading from the YAML file e = Extractor.from_yaml_file('booking.yml') def scrape(url): headers = { 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Pragma': 'no-cache', 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache', 'DNT': '1', 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests': '1', # You may want to change the user agent if you get blocked 'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.113 Safari/537.36', 'Accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.9', 'Referer': 'https://www.booking.com/index.en-gb.html', 'Accept-Language': 'en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8', } # Download the page using requests print("Downloading %s"%url) r = requests.get(url, headers=headers) # Pass the HTML of the page and create return e.extract(r.text,base_url=url) with open("urls.txt",'r') as urllist, open('data.csv','w') as outfile: fieldnames = [ "name", "location", "price", "price_for", "room_type", "beds", "rating", "rating_title", "number_of_ratings", "url" ] writer = csv.DictWriter(outfile, fieldnames=fieldnames,quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL) writer.writeheader() for url in urllist.readlines(): data = scrape(url) if data: for h in data['hotels']: writer.writerow(h) # sleep(5)
This code will:
Open the file named urls.txt as well as download HTML content given for every link in that.
Parse this HTML with Selectorlib Template named booking.yml
Then save the output file in the CSV file named data.csv
It’s time to make a file called urls.txt as well as paste the search result URLs in it. Then we need to create a Selectorlib Template.
Make Selectorlib Template for Scraping Hotels Data from Booking.com Searching Results
You may notice that within a code given above, which we used the file named booking.yml. The file makes this code so short and easy. The magic after making this file is the Web Scraping tool called Selectorlib.
Selectorlib makes selecting, marking, as well as extracting data from the webpages visually easy. A Selectorlib Web Scraping Chrome Extension allows you to mark data, which you want to scrape, and makes CSS Selectors required for extracting the data. After that, preview how the data could look like.
In case, you require data that we have given above, you should not use Selectorlib. As we have already done it for you as well as produced an easy “template”, which you may use. Although, if you need to add new fields, you may use Selectorlib for adding those fields into a template.
Let’s see how we have moticed the data fields we needed to extract with Chrome Extension of Selectorlib.
When you have made the template, just click on ‘Highlight’ button to highlight and preview all selectors. In the end, just click on ‘Export’ option and download YAML file, which is a booking.yml file.
Let’s see how the template – booking.yml will look like:
hotels: css: div.sr_item multiple: true type: Text children: name: css: span.sr-hotel__name type: Text location: css: a.bui-link type: Text price: css: div.bui-price-display__value type: Text price_for: css: div.bui-price-display__label type: Text room_type: css: strong type: Text beds: css: div.c-beds-configuration type: Text rating: css: div.bui-review-score__badge type: Text rating_title: css: div.bui-review-score__title type: Text number_of_ratings: css: div.bui-review-score__text type: Text url: css: a.hotel_name_link type: Link
Run a Web Scraper
For running the web scraper, from a project folder,
Try to search Booking.com to see your Hotels requirements
Copy as well as add search results URLs into urls.txt
Then Run the script python3 scrape.py
Find data from the data.csv file
Let’s take a sample data from the search results pages.

Top 5 Web Scraping Tools in 2021
Web scraping, also known as Web harvesting, Web data extraction, is the process of obtaining and analyzing data from a website. After that, for various purposes, the extracted data is saved in a local database. Web crawling can be performed manually or automatically through the software. There is no doubt that automated processes are more cost-effective than manual processes. Because there is a large amount of digital information online, companies equipped with these tools can collect more data at a lower cost than they did not collect, and gain a competitive advantage in the long run.
Web scraping benefits businesses > HOW!
Modern companies build the best data. Although the Internet is actually the largest database in the world, the Internet is full of unstructured data, which organizations cannot use directly. Web scraping can help overcome this hurdle and turn the site into structured data, which in many cases is of great value. The benefits of sales and marketing of a specific type of web scraping are contact scraping, which can collect business contact information from websites. This helps to attract more sales leads, close more deals, and improve marketing. By using a web scraper to monitor job commission updates, recruiters can find ideal candidates with very specific searches. By monitoring job board updates with a web scrape, recruiters are able to find their ideal candidates with very specific searches. Financial analysts use web scraping to collect data about global stock markets, financial markets, transactions, commodities, and economic indicators to make better decisions. E-commerce / travel sites get product prices and availability from competitors and use the extracted data to maintain a competitive advantage. Get data from social media and review sites (Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, etc.). Monitor the impact of your brand and take your brand reputation / customer review department to a new level. It's also a great tool for data scientists and journalists. An automatic web scraping can collect millions of data points in your database in just a few minutes. This data can be used to support the data model and academic research. Moreover, if you are a journalist, you can collect rich data online to practice data-driven journalism.

Yahoo Groups - Scraping in Chrome
What is scraping? It’s where you use a bot to cruse the internet for you and collect data into a spreadsheet. Bots can work a lot faster than you and don’t get tired or distracted so if you’ve got a lot of data to collect scraping makes your life easier.
Now it’s the end of 2019 and you’ve got a yahoo group full of old Fanfic Files that you’d like to download before it’s gone forever. Sure you can download everything by hand or use a custom script to scrape it perfectly into folders quickly but lets be honest, you ain’t got time for that shit - mentally or physically. Your best bet is using a free scraping tool and leave it going while you’re at work so you can come home to 1,000s of ancient fandom fics. Sure this inelegant solution will perform so slowly you’ll wonder if it’s a geriatric, overweight snail powered by farts but f*ck it, at least you won’t have to sit at the computer clicking on every single htm and txt file in your yahoo group right?
Here are some helpful steps below the break.
Step One:
Create a folder for your downloads. With Chrome’s settings you can then switch your download folder to this new folder.
Trust me, you don’t want your thousands of historical fic mixing in with all the other porn crap in your downloads folder. The scraping won’t be maintaining subfolder file structure so you’ll have all your group’s files in one heap of a mess. Possibly half of them helpfully named ‘Chapter_One.htm’ The less sorting you have to do later the better.
Step Two:
Install a browser extension scraper. In this case we’re using Chrome’s Web Scraper:
Once installed you can access it on any webpage by opening Chrome’s developer tools using F12 and selecting ‘Web Scraper’ from the tool’s menu bar. Note: You’ll want to dock the developer tools window to the bottom of the screen using the buttons I’ve highlighted below. vvv
If you want more details on how to use Web Scraper, click on the blue web symbol that will appear to the right of your address bar in Chrome. You’ll find tutorials and documentation. I didn’t read any of it. Why any of you are listening to me is a mystery. But if you’re happy with the blind leading the blind, jump to our next step.
Step Three:
Now we can import your Sitemap for scraping. Start by navigating in Chrome to the yahoo groups file page. Something like, https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/awesomefanfic/files
Open the Web Scraper in developer tools (F12) for this page, if you haven’t already, and click “create new sitemap”>“Import Sitemap”
Then paste the following code into the "Sitemap JSON” field:
{"_id":"testscrape1","startUrl":["YOUR FILES"],"selectors":[{"id":"folderName","type":"SelectorLink","parentSelectors":["_root"],"selector":".yg-list-title a","multiple":true,"delay":0},{"id":"subfolder","type":"SelectorLink","parentSelectors":["folderName"],"selector":".yg-list-title a","multiple":true,"delay":0},{"id":"subfiles","type":"SelectorLink","parentSelectors":["subfiles"],"selector":".yg-list-title a","multiple":true,"delay":0},{"id":"Files","type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["folderName"],"selector":".yg-list-title a","multiple":true,"regex":"","delay":0},{"id":"subFiles","type":"SelectorLink","parentSelectors":["subfolder"],"selector":".yg-list-title a","multiple":true,"delay":0},{"id":"SubFileNames","type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["subfolder"],"selector":".yg-list-title a","multiple":true,"regex":"","delay":0},{"id":"dummy","type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["subFiles"],"selector":".yg-list-title a","multiple":true,"regex":"","delay":0}]}
You’ll going to need to change where it says “YOUR FILES” to your yahoo group’s files page. Copy it from the address bar. It will look something like: "startUrl": ["https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/awesomefanfic/files"]
You may want to rename your Sitemap in the second field. Otherwise it will be named “testscrape1″
Once you’ve made your changes, hit the import button and you’re ready to start scraping.
Note: This imported JSON code provides a Sitemap structure designed to download all the documents up to a level two subfolder and place them all into that download folder. It will also create a spreadsheet record of each file’s location.
Step Four:
Now we Scrape.
Once it starts scraping it will open a new window and slowly (SOOO SLOWLY) start downloading your old files. Note: Do NOT close Web Scraper window while it is running a scrape or you will have to start again from beginning. Again, it will not be downloading folders so all the files will be dumped in one big heap. Luckily the spreadsheet it creates showing where every file came from, will help.
Step Five:
Once you’ve walked the dog, gone to work, eaten a feast for the elder gods, and danced with your coven at midnight the scraping should be about done (results dependent on number of grizzled files to download). The Web Scraper window should close on it’s own. You’re tomb-of-ancient-knowledge will be ready in the location you specified in step one. It’s possible the Scrape missed some hoary files because yahoo was refusing to open a folder or the file was in a deeper subfolder than level two (the bot checking for subfolders is why this scrape is so slow so I didn’t go deeper). For best results you will need to review the scraped file data and compare it to what you downloaded. Use “Export data as CSV” and then use your new spreadsheet to rebuild your file structure and check for any missing files. NOTHING listed in the “dummy” column will be downloaded. You will have download everything in that column (and deeper) manually.
With luck, only a handful of files will need to be downloaded manually after your review. Treasure your prize and if you’re a mod of the group, help save the files for the gen z fic readers by sharing your hoard on Hugo-award-winning AO3.
Bonus (Expert Mode):
Using the spreadsheet and batch file scripts you can recreate your file structure quickly and move the files into the new folders. A few changes will turn your list of urls into folder locations on your PC and bam! You’ve got a everything organized again! A few things to watch for: 1. You will have to remove spaces and special characters from folder names. 2. File names should be in double quotes in your batch file or have all spaces removed. 3. Files with the same name from different folders (Like chapter1.htm) should probably be done manually before running the batch to move the rest.

Hunting for Data: a Few Words on Data Scraping
No matter how intelligent and sophisticated your technology is, what you ultimately need for Big Data Analysis is data. Lots of data. Versatile and coming from many sources in different formats. In many cases, your data will come in a machine-readable format ready for processing — data from sensors is an example. Such formats and protocols for automated data transfer are rigidly structured, well-documented and easily parsed. But what if you need to analyze information meant for humans? What if all you have are numerous websites?
This is the place where data scraping, or web scraping steps in: the process of importing information from a website into a spreadsheet or local file saved on your computer. In contrast to regular parsing, data scraping processes output intended for display to an end-user, rather than as input to another program, usually neither documented nor structured. To successfully process such data, data scraping often involves ignoring binary data, such as images and multimedia, display formatting, redundant labels, superfluous commentary, and other information which is doomed irrelevant.
Applications of Data Scraping
When we start thinking about data scraping the first and irritating application that comes to mind is email harvesting — uncovering people’s email addresses to sell them on to spammers or scammers. In some jurisdictions, it is even made illegal to use automated means like data scraping to harvest email addresses with commercial intent.
Nevertheless, data scraping applications are numerous and it may be useful in every industry or business:
Applications of Data Scraping
Data Scraping Tools
The basic — and easiest — way to data scrape is to use dynamic web queries in Microsoft Excel, or install the Chrome Data Scraper plugin. However, for more sophisticated data scraping, you need other tools.
Here we share some of the top data scraping tools:
1. Scraper API
Scraper API is a tool for developers building web scrapers. It handles proxies, browsers, and CAPTCHAs so developers can get the raw HTML from any website with a simple API call.
Pros:
It manages its own and impressive internal pool of proxies from a dozen proxy providers, and has smart routing logic that routes requests through different subnets and automatically throttles requests in order to avoid IP bans and CAPTCHAs, so you don’t need to think about proxies.
Drawback:
Pricing starts from $29 per month.
2.Cheerio
Cherio is the most popular tool for NodeJS developers who want a straightforward way to parse HTML.
Pros:
Cheerio offers an API similar to jQuery, so developers familiar with jQuery will have no difficulties with it.
It offers many helpful methods to extract text, html, classes, ids, and more.
Drawback:
Cheerio (and ajax requests) is not effective in fetching dynamic content generated by javascript websites.
3.Scrapy
Scrapy is the most powerful library for Python. Among its features is HTML parsing with CSS selectors, XPath or regular expressions or any combination of the above. It has an integrated data processing pipeline and provides monitoring and extensive logging out of the box. There’s also a paid service to launch Scrapy spiders in the cloud.
Pros:
Scrapy has multiple helpful features and highly customizable settings.
It is easy to extend.
Drawback:
In the free version, you still have to manage proxies, CAPTCHAs and JS rendering by yourself.
Documentation can be confusing.
4.Beautiful Soup
Sometimes Scrapy is an overkill for simple HTML parsing. In such cases, Beautiful Soup is a good choice. It is intended for Python developers who want an easy interface to parse HTML. Like Cheerio for NodeJS developers, Beautiful Soup is one of the most popular HTML parsers for Python.
Pros:
It is easy to use even for inexperienced developers;
It is ex tremely well documented, with many tutorials on using it to scrape various website in both Python 2 and Python 3.
Drawback:
Beautiful Soup does not support web crawling with only HTML parser included.
The performance of the built-in html.parser is rather poor, though it can be solved by integration of Beautiful Soup with the lxml library.
5.ParseHub
Parsehub is a powerful tool for building web scrapers without coding, so it can be used by analysts, journalists, academicians and everyone interested. It has many features such as automatic IP rotation, allowing scraping behind login walls, going through dropdowns and tabs, getting data from tables and maps, and more.
Pros:
It is extremely easy to use: you click on the data and it is exported in JSON or Excel format.
It has a generous free tier, that allows users to scrape up to 200 pages of data in just 40 minutes.
Drawback:
Of course, it is not the best option for developers as it requires additional steps to import its output and does not provide the usual flexibility.
Bonus:Diffbot
Diffbot is different from most web scraping tools, since it uses computer vision instead of html parsing to identify relevant information on a page. In this way, even if the HTML structure of a page changes, your web scrapers will not break as long as the page looks the same visually.
Pros:
Thanks to its relying on computer vision, it is best suited for long running mission critical web scraping jobs.
Drawback:
For non-trivial websites and transformations you will have to add custom rules and manual code.
Like all other aspects of Data Science, data scraping evolves fast, adding machine learning to recognize inputs which only humans have traditionally been able to interpret — like images or videos. Coupled with text-based data scraping it will turn the world of data collection upside down.
Meaning that whether or not you intend to use data scraping in your work, it’s high time to educate yourself on the subject, as it is likely to go to the foreground in the next few years.

Easy Google Search Result API with Zenserp (Sponsored)
No matter how much experience I gain in this industry, one task I continue to fail at is building an accurate, flexible, and maintainable scraper for site search. As soon as sites change their HTML structure, my scrape is borked. When looking to build my own search results page, I looked around and the best solution I found was Zenserp. Zenserp, created by Saas Industries, is an easy to use, logical SERP API for getting customizable Google search results!
Quick Hits
Rolling your own SERP is verify difficult and impossible to maintain (think proxy networks and CAPTCHAs) — trust Zenserp to do it for you
API payloads are logical and easy to use
Get multiple data types: organic, paid, local, maps, and more
Zenserp does not store or sell your query requests
Very strong infrastructure – no QPS limit!
Provides a method for bulk data retrieval to consolidate API requests
Free to start!
Let’s have a look at using Zenserp’s API!
Using zenserp
After signing up for a free Zenserp account, you can start making requests. zenserp even has a nice question builder that allows you to export search code in cURL, Python, PHP, or Node.js:
Note: the API key used here was rotated and will no longer work
Note the available options: the search phrase, location requesting from, which Google domain you prefer, and language. Additional options include whether you want a text or image search, the number of results, and which page of results (page 1, page 2, etc.) you’d like. Super customizable!
Let’s have a look at the resulting payload:
{ "query": { "q": "david walsh blog", "hl": "en", "gl": "US", "location": "United States", "search_engine": "google.com", "apikey": "MY_API_KEY", "url": "https://google.com/search?q=david+walsh+blog&uule=w+CAIQICINVW5pdGVkIFN0YXRlcw&hl=en&gl=US&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8" }, "organic": [ { "position": 1, "title": "David Walsh Blog - JavaScript Consultant", "url": "https://davidwalsh.name/", "destination": "https://davidwalsh.name", "description": "A blog featuring tutorials about JavaScript, HTML5, AJAX, PHP, CSS, WordPress, and everything else development.", "isAmp": false, "sitelinks": [ { "title": "About David Walsh", "description": "David Walsh.

David Walsh's blog about HTML5, JavaScript (MooTools, jQuery, Dojo), CSS, PHP, AJAX,...", "isAmp": false }, // ... ], "number_of_results": 32600000 }
Since I wanted organic results, the organic property provides an interesting array of results which match when I do a manual query of david walsh blog. Notice the amount of detail in the first result, especially sitelinks, which represents the sub-links you see within a manual search on Google — wow!
If there are paid search results, those will be in the payload as well. Let’s look up bitcoin:
{ "query": { "q": "bitcoin", "hl": "en", "gl": "US", "location": "United States", "search_engine": "google.com", "apikey": "API_KEY", "url": "https://google.com/search?q=bitcoin&uule=w+CAIQICINVW5pdGVkIFN0YXRlcw&hl=en&gl=US&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8" }, "paid": [ { "paidPosition": "top", "title": "Buy & Sell Bitcoin | #1 in Crypto Security & Safety | coinbase.com", "trackingUrl": "https://google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjDssyHo9HkAhUahtUKHXNyAlUYABAAGgJ3cw&sig=AOD64_1Gml8jrX5PSNhnHex8ZD2ErH6vIg&q&ved=2ahUKEwjXq8aHo9HkAhXSZVAKHXrWAUoQ0Qx6BAgVEAE&adurl", "destinationUrl": "https://www.coinbase.com/signup", "breadcrumbs": [], "visurl": "www.coinbase.com/", "description": "Coinbase is the Safest, Most Secure Place to Buy and Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, and More.

Notice the paid key which provides results usually seen at the top of searches for which were paid for by each vendor.
The above queries are the simplest but only the tip of the iceberg; here are a few other valuable search options:
device – mobile or desktop results
tbm – image search (isch) or maps (lcl)
timeframe – h, d, w, etc. for search results based on time units
There are loads of other customizations available to see in the Zenserp documentation.
Google Trends
Zenserp also provides a /trends API endpoint to query Google Trends:
curl https://app.zenserp.com/api/v1/trends \ -F "keyword[]=bitcoin" \ -F "keyword[]=ethereum" \ -F "apikey=YOUR-API-KEY"
Notice that you can provide multiple keywords using the array syntax!
Use Cases
The obvious use case for Zenserp is creating my own custom search page but SERPs are so much more useful than that — you could brainstorm any variety of use cases:
Monitoring your (or the competition’s) search placement for an important keyword
Tracking popular trends
Analyzing searches your users are making via your own search forms using SERP in the background
Downloading images that match a given term
Tracking a given business type’s density in a given area using Maps search
….too many to list!
As much as I love trusting my own scraping talents, it’s so much easier to trust Zenserp. I save time in maintenance and get the advantage of their easy to use API and its wealth of options. The more I learn about topics in this industry, the more I’ve learned to delegate difficult tasks to experts. Zenserp is the my expert in Google search results APIs.
