Teaching students simple #WebScraping was always quite rewarding. It opens up numerous relevant, real-world data sources that are the foundation for any further analysis. Things already got more complicated with dynamic content loading, but now bot-exclusion-mechanisms make it almost impossible in many cases. Is web scraping for the #DigitalHumanities dead?
