Web Automation with Python

title: Web Automation with Python — Requests & Browsers
published: false
tags: [python, web-automation, requests]

Automating web tasks ranges from simple HTTP requests to browser automation.
Use requests + BeautifulSoup for scraping and selenium or playwright
for interacting with JavaScript-heavy sites.

Simple example with requests:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

resp = requests.get('https://example.com')
soup = BeautifulSoup(resp.text, 'html.parser')
print(soup.title.string)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Respect robots.txt and site terms; add delays and cache results responsibly.
