Abstract

Web scraping software automates the extraction of vast amounts of data from websites, streamlining the tedious manual process of copying and pasting information into spreadsheets or other storage formats. For instance, collecting content from websites like Politifact.com manually would require hiring multiple people to visit each page, copy information such as titles, authors, statements, dates, and sources, and then input it into a database. This manual approach could take days or even months to complete. However, web scraping tools can perform this task programmatically, visiting every page and parsing HTML to extract the required data efficiently. In our research, we utilized web scraping to collect and organize information from Politifact.com, specifically targeting key details like the title, author, statement, date, and source, significantly reducing the time and effort needed for data preparation.
