Web Scraping flight prices with Python and Selenium - Simple Tutorial
Channel: F Neves
Date: 2019-07-11

Building a Web Scraper is easier than you think! This video is based on an article that I published in Medium and it is supposed to be really easy to follow using only Python, and mainly Selenium with the Chromedriver.

The point of the bot is to scrape specific flight prices from Kayak and send us the information to our email. Additionally, it also saves the scrape results in a nice dataframe and exports them to a csv file.
If there's something I didn't cover in the video, please have a look at the article (link below), as there are some more links there. I also have other articles with other web scraping tools.

Let me know in the comments if you prefer this long format, or a more complete code along broken down into parts!
