I also suggest, if you’re just starting out with web scraping, to use websites that are simply built, or ones that you coded yourself. I am using my own personal website for this tutorial. Some websites prohibit web scraping, or ask that you receive written permission beforehand. Web scraping is the process of extracting data from websites and other sources using scripts. I am running Catalina 10.15.3.įeel free to try this out next time you want to run Selenium and the Chrome Webdriver on your Mac. This tutorial assumes you've set up Python on your computer. Up until now, I’ve only had to make a few minor adjustments for working on a Mac, but Selenium and Chromedriver proved to divert from the Windows tutorials quite a bit! Many of the tutorials I found used Windows computers. I’ve been on a web scraping binge for a couple of weeks and thought I might try using Selenium, a framework that allows for web scraping and testing automation. If you're running it on a Mac, however, there may be extra set up issues involved
Selenium is an effective tool for web scraping with Python.
