About The Project

With the constant increase in the amount of data generated by users on the internet, the number of data sources has been increasing and increasingly diversifying, the process of obtaining data from unusual sources such as articles and even competitor websites has been growing and with it the need to carry out periodic processes to extract this information, selenium as well as other projects exist to streamline and automate those processes. This project comes as learning to perform this extraction in a simple and practical way.

Here's why:

  • As a developer we have to be constantly learning and optimizing our knowledge
  • When you are learning things , see examples is one of the best ways to start
