In Episode 1 we begin by reviewing the structure of websites in HTML and how to retrieve information from it using your browser and the `BeautifulSoup` package. In Episode 2 we'll dive deep on how to get the HTML behind any website using the `requests` package and how to parse and find information with `BeautifulSoup`. At the end,you’ll learn about the differences between static and dynamic webpages, and how to scrape the latter with the `Selenium` package.
