Web browsers are used for client-server based GUI interaction exploring web content. The browser address bar is supplied with the web address or URL, and the requested URL is communicated to the server (host) and response is received, that is, loaded by the browser. This obtained response or page source can be further explored, and the desired content can be searched in raw format.
Users are free to choose their web browser. We will be using Google Chrome for most of the book, installed on the Windows operating system (OS).
The HTML source for pages will be frequently opened and investigated for required content and resources during scraping process. Right click the web page. A menu will then appear where you can find the View page source option. Alternatively, press Ctrl + U.
