Web Scraping Exercises

Below are a few exercises to help practice web scraping.

  • Texas Executed Offenders - Scrape the list of offender data and save it to a CSV. Bonus points: Scrape the Last Statement for each offender. This will require extracting links from the Last Statement field and scraping those pages as well.
  • Stanford Events - Scrape the event url and metadata.
  • Palo Alto Agendas and Minutes - Generate a CSV of links to all agendas for current year. Bonus points:Download the actual agendas and minutes.
  • FDIC failed banks - Generate a CSV containing all the bank data on the index page. Bonus points: Scrape two pieces of data from the balance sheet pages for each bank. This will require harvesting links from the Bank Name field and using those links to scrape the "detail" pages for each bank.
