Part 5/8:
To scrape effectively, it's essential to understand how HTML structures its data. By right-clicking on elements such as quotes and author names, we can inspect their HTML tags. Quotes are tagged with a <span>
element with a class attribute of "text," while authors are contained within <small>
tags tagged with "author."
These tags guide us in writing the correct commands in our code to extract the desired information.
Writing the Scraper Code
We will begin coding by retrieving all quotes and author names using the Beautiful Soup library and storing these as lists. A for loop will facilitate the display of each quote alongside its respective author.
