In Lesson 20, we learned about the requests module. In this lesson, we are exploring BeautifulSoup. In all of your digital humanities projects where you need to interact with web data, you will very likely use both of these libraries in tandem. As such, you need to be comfortable with passing data from requests to BeautifulSoup. The reason is because requests is able to grab the data but it is not very good at parsing it and making it look nice. BeautifulSoup handles both of these functions. To demonstrate this, we will be working with the same code discussed in the video.
