This video explains how to extract website data to Excel using Python. You'll learn why Excel is an optimal format for public data extraction and how to gather information using Python and extract the data into Excel. Additionally, we're discussing the legal aspect of selling scraped data.
Why is Excel an optimal format for public data extraction?
First of all, it's simple to clean up and format data with Excel. Moreover, Excel is a widely used and easy-to-use visual tool that most people are already comfortable with. Finally, Excel files can be imported by most of the data stores. These are the main reasons why you should extract data from website to Excel.
Steps of scraping web data to Excel
The data retrieved with the help of web scraping techniques is usually a part of the bigger ETL, or Extract, Transform, and Load process. Python web scraping is the Extraction step of the ETL process. In this step, the data is raw. The data may need cleaning up and restructuring. That’s where the next step comes in. In the Transform step of ETL, the data is transformed into a structure that makes sense. In the Load step, the transformed data gets stored in the final target, which can be any data store. Excel is perfect for the Transform step.
Is selling scraped public data or web scraping legal?
You might be wondering whether it's legal to sell scraped public data. The answer to this question is complex, and our legal team suggests you get professional legal advice before scraping or working with gathered public data.
Of course, you also need to consider various factors. First of all, while it may be legal to sell some data, it may not be permitted to sell (or even scrape) other data. Some cases may be straightforward – for example, most of the time, it would be illegal to sell copyrighted data without permission. The other aspect that needs to be looked at is the Terms of Service of the data source. Finally, the interpretation and enforcement of these terms are subject to laws.
