New to Python

[Mo El]

Hi there,

I`m new to python and i have been watching a lot of tutorials regarding web scraping using python, and my question is what is the best library to use, and can someone help me to understand how to write a scrapped data to an HTML, say i scrapped some data from a website and i wanted to write that data to another page to view or use using python as well.

Your help is very much appreciated

Beautiful Soup works really well to help render HTML.  I suppose you could scrape the website and save it as HTML.  The module can be found here: https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/

In addition to Beautiful Soup, you probably need Requests (http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/).

Some examples of using these together:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-work-with-web-data-using-requests-and-beautiful-soup-with-python-3

P.S. In future try to use a descriptive name for your post to the group; e.g. Looking for help on web scraping woith Python

When asking for "best", try to make that more objective, by listing
requirements and nice to have features.

That said, you may want to take a look at scrapely:
https://pypi.org/project/scrapely/

Since you're in the Django user group, you would use Django and it's template
engine: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/templates/
