This chapter shows some of the interesting Python scripts that you can write to extract useful information from the web, for example, searching for a business address, stock quote for a particular company or the latest news from a news agency website. These scripts demonstrate how Python can extract simple information in simpler ways without communicating with complex APIs.

Following these recipes, you should be able to write code for complex scenarios, for example, find the details about a business, including location, news, stock quote, and so on.
