Quick Music Site Scraping Lesson
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need hands-on guidance to pull song titles and artists from a series of music-related web pages. Each page follows the same layout: the information I want sits inside a clearly defined section, so once the right selector is found the rest should be straightforward. My priority is to learn a fast, repeatable workflow rather than receive a finished dataset.
Here’s what I have in mind:
• A brief live walk-through (screen share or recorded demo) that shows how to locate the target section, capture the song title and artist fields, and loop through all pages.
• A lightweight script I can rerun or adapt later—language is flexible, though I’m leaning toward something beginner-friendly such as Python with requests, BeautifulSoup, or similar tools.
• Clear explanations of any prerequisites, libraries, and rate-limit or terms-of-service considerations.
• A couple of practice exercises so I can confirm I’ve understood the technique.
I already have the URLs and can share a sample page on request. The quicker I can get up to speed, the better, so concise, actionable instruction is key.
