How to set up your computer for web scraper development
We will use Python 3 for this tutorial. The code will not run if you are using Python 2.7. To start, you need a computer with Python 3 and PIP installed in it.
Let’s check your python version. Open a terminal ( in Linux and Mac OS ) or Command Prompt ( on Windows ) and type
python –version
and press enter. If the output looks something like Python 3.x.x, you have Python 3 installed. If it says Python 2.x.x you have Python 2. If it prints an error, you don’t probably have python installed.
If you don’t have Python 3, install it first.
Install Python 3 and Pip
Linux – https://www.python.org/downloads/source/
Mac Users can follow this guide – https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/
Windows Users go here – https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
For PIP installation visit this link – https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/install-pip-windows/
Install Packages
- Python Requests, to make requests and download the HTML content of the pages ( http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/install/).
- Python LXML, for parsing the HTML Tree Structure using Xpath (Learn how to install that here – http://lxml.de/installation.html)

Above code is developed for Python 3.X .. Run in any IDE like PyCharm , sublime text etc… We got here json file , we can also extract these data into sql database , export in CSV , Excel with modification in coding..
Here using lxml library data is extracted , you can do using beautifulsoup 4 also we can extract data from any website..
Run above code in any IDE of python and you will get result in JSON.. for test you can use another url from eBay..
