</footer><!-- /.post-info -->      <h1>Our monthly session, fully online hosted on Zoom</h1>
<p>Our next session will be on Weds 12th August 2020. It starts at 18:30. </p>
<p>Register to attend <a href="https://ti.to/code-the-city/aberdeen-python-user-group-aug-2020">here</a>. Tickets are free, but you can make a donation to <a href="https://codethecity.org">Code the City</a> if you wish. </p>
<p>The format is </p>
<ul>
<li>18:30 A talk on "Scraping the Web with Python Tools" by Ian Watt. </li>
<li>19:00 Project teams in break-out rooms (Beginner and Intermediate). </li>
<li>20:30 Project round-ups</li>
</ul>
<p>With limited open data available from official sources, few APIs we can query, it is often necessary to obtain data through scraping. That is using Python libraries to interact with webpages, find pieces of data and retrieve those. In this talk Ian will explain the tools, techniques, and approaches that can be helpful as well as poining out legal issues along the way. The Intermediate challenge will see you build your own scraper as Ian has outlined and retrieve some data from a webpage .... or seven.</p>
<p>The project challenges will be annopunced on <a href="https://github.com/PythonAberdeen/user_group/tree/master/">Github</a></p>
<p>We recommend joining our <a href="https://join.slack.com/t/python-aberdeen/shared_invite/zt-fe4vr06d-TavzVV4ZusCxYLEdCqxsyQ">Slack channel</a>. </p>
<p>If you are a beginner looking to get started in Python have a look at our <a href="https://pythonaberdeen.github.io/pages/learning-resources.html">Learning Resources page</a> where we recommend a free video course on Youtube. </p>
