This video, made for students on the MA in Data Journalism at Birmingham City University, introduces lists in Python, why they're so important to scraping, and the different ways that lists are used, from generating URLs to scrape to storing the data that's in the webpages you want to scrape.

It also explains the difference between one-stage (where the URLs can be generated) and two-stage scraping (where a list of URLs must be scraped first, before a second scraper is written to scrape those).
