Preface

The internet contains the most useful set of data ever assembled, largely publicly accessible for free. However this data is not easily re-usable. It is embedded within the structure and style of websites and needs to be extracted to be useful. This process of extracting data from webpages is known as web scraping and is becoming increasingly useful as ever more information is available online.

All code used has been tested with Python 3.4+ and is available for download at https://github.com/kjam/wswp.
