Get Started with Web Scraping using Python!
Congratulations! By picking up this book, you’ve set the first steps into the exciting world of web scraping. For those who are not familiar with programming or the deeper workings of the web, web scraping often looks like a black art: the ability to write a program that sets off on its own to explore the Internet and collect data is seen as a magical and exciting ability to possess. In this book, we set out to provide a concise and modern guide to web scraping, using Python as our programming language, without glossing over important details or best practices. In addition, this book is written with a data science audience in mind. We’re data scientists ourselves, and have very often found web scraping to be a powerful tool to have in your arsenal, as many data science projects start with the first step of obtaining an appropriate data set, so why not utilize the treasure trove of information the web provides.

Detect fraud before damage cascades
Fraud detection is more valuable the sooner it is made, because further losses are prevented, potential recoveries are higher, and security issues can be addressed more rapidly, as such avoiding cascading damage to an organization. Detecting fraud in an early stage however is harder than detecting it in an evolved stage, and requires specific techniques discussed in this book.
