contain a wealth of useful data in text form. However, most web pages are designed for human end-
users and not for ease of automated use.
 Because of this, tool kits that scrape web content were created. A web scraper is an Application
Programming Interface (API) to extract data from a web site. Companies like Amazon
AWS and Google provide web scraping tools, services and public data available free of cost to end
users.
