An Intro to Web Scraping With lxml and Python

This article provides a beginner-friendly guide to web scraping with Python's lxml library. It explains the importance of scraping in the absence of APIs and introduces XPaths for parsing HTML. The tutorial uses a practical example of extracting game names, prices, tags, and platforms from Steam's 'popular new releases' page, with a promise of a follow-up on creating a Flask API.
