In this video we will create a simple WordPress web scraper using Python. We get the title, date and author of the posts plus a link to the full article and save all to an Excel file. This is part 1, in part 2 we will expand on it to get all the posts, as opposed to just those on the front page.
This is a beginner level scraper and covers basic usage of Requests and BeautifulSoup4 - a staple of the the Python scraping toolkit.
