Web Scraping: Getting Products and Prices from an E-commerce Site

The site we are going to scrape

For this project, we’ill scrape a fictional site in such a way that anyone living in any country can do so legally. The concepts used in this project can be applied to most websites out there.

Note: Web scraping is legal in most countries following the rationale that whatever is available for access by a person should also be available to a computer. However, we strongly recommend checking your own country’s legal stance on web scraping and the website’s own terms and conditions. Also check the site’s robots.txt, which sometimes contain information whether content scraping and sharing is allowed.
