This series implements web scraping techniques using python to extract online data within social science research. We continue from the previous session by using the python library Selenium, a more powerful web scraping tool. Traditional scraping tools struggle to collect data from websites that rely on JavaScript. Selenium enables that along with extra functionality to interact with a page like a human user would by submitting mouse clicks, scrolling and filling out forms. This demonstration will provide Python code, familiarity using Python is encouraged. Feel free to bring your laptop with Anaconda installed so you can follow along.
