Charles Russell Severance
This course will show how one can treat the Internet as a source of data. We will scrape, parse, and read web data as well as access data using web APIs. We will work with HTML, XML, and JSON data formats in Python. This course will cover Chapters 11–13 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1–10 of the textbook and the first two courses in this specialization. These topics include variables and expressions, conditional execution (loops, branching, and try/except), functions, Python data structures (strings, lists, dictionaries, and tuples), and manipulating files. This course covers Python 3. The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future.

Very complicated
Luis G H C –
Great course, very interesting, but I find this part of the program should be optional, since not all the people is interested in retrieveing data from the internet; besides, these are controlled practices. In the real world it’s a little bit more tricky to obtain information from an API and extracting data from a website. Perhaps, this module should be in a different course of its own. That’d be quite interesting to see.

XML got a bit difficult, but its understandable since JSON is becoming so prevalent. Need a better animation for service applications. Current one is boring compared to how Dr. Chuck explains.
Nagendra R –
Excellent course, it not only teaches you about how to access web data, but also make you write a few programs to test your understanding of the concepts. It is very well engaging. Thanks!!

It’s great course, the concepts are complex but presented and explained very clearly and easy to understand. Unlike some other courses from the Michigan Uni, I highly recommend this one, especially for people starting working with Python. Instructor is clearly passionate about what he’s doing. Well done Dr Chuck!

I’d love the easy way you teach. I would love to meet you in personal and work with you sir.
Nguyen N D –
Excellence course
Subham R –
This course was simply amazing, I didn’t know that python too has simple and powerful libraries like this to make rest call and access web data. Learned a lot of new things, thanks to Dr. Chuck. Highly recommended for python beginners.
Philipp D –
I liked the course, but somewhat less than the first two from this specialization and I was undecided for a while whether to give 3 or 4 stars. I would have appreciated more background on urllib, API, or ssl, at least in the (admittedly free) text book. I also think that the part on the Service Oriented Approach in its current form is too condensed to be really helpful.
Mario J R C –
good
Milos O –
Nice experience
YIDA Y –
Thank you Professor!
Muhammad H –
This course is really amazing. I wanted to scrap the web. so here I got it
Vivekananda V S –

Robert S C –
The difficulty ratchets up, but in a good way!
Nikhil S –
This was yet another one of Dr. Chuck’s great course. He really explained the material, made sure the students absorbed everything, gave them decent homework, and covered a wide range of concepts, all of which have proven to be very important.
Akash D –
Thank You! Sir
Junaid –
This course was too good, professionally explained in an easy way, i have learned a lot
Trisha B –
Amazing, informative along with challenging assignments
Yinglu W –
This course is well structured. I really like how it introduces the high level knowledge in the first 3 weeks and becomes more hands on in the later of the class. My only complaint is some of the materials are out dated. For example, lots of the tasks can be handled by urllib3 but urllib and urllib2 are heavily along the course. urllib3 is not just a simply upgrade from urllib2, it has a lot more functions. And the “bonus materials” section is bit lame to be honest.
Chien D –
Awesome course. Now I can basically understand about networking. How to crawl data from the internet, or using socket to acess data outside
Vishal R –
This Course is Very Useful
Tarun A ( –
Course Content helps you to get a feel of dealing with XML and JSON data using python. Lectures as always are inte

Kairui L –
I hope there could be more assignments for practice.Anyway,this course is awesome!I learned some pratical skills in this course.
Marco M –
I just finished this course, the third of a series of five. I already knew some basis of the arguments, still I’ve learned a lot. The approach is very practical, so you can experiment with actual cases of application of the skill you acquire.

Sambath M –
I’m very happy that people like you guys are doing this awesome project which is free teaching. I loved the course from Dr Chuck, and I learned a lot in this one, about playing and analyzing data in its globality. I also learn how data travel through the Internet, and I was captivated by all the process a Data has to do to be read by a user. Overall this course is fascinating, and a big thank you to Dr Chuck & All the staff that make this course possible. I love you all.
Jithu S –
Great course. Started to access data from the internet and it actually makes sense. It feels so good to actually happen what is happening behind the internet and how it is giving us the data that we are looking for.
Ravi K V –
All the fundamentals of using Python to Access Web Data is well explained with great examples. With additional reading and research, this course is really best for basic students of Python. Thank you for the class, Dr Chuck.

Ishan k A –
this course was great
Oscar A –
The subject is quite massive and complex to get the grasp in a single course. In any case, Dr. Chuck methodology is quite marvelous, and keeps us engaged to keep learning, and assuring we don’t go off track. I believe this course provides a good coverage of the subject. From here it’s important to read the reference materials, and probably take yet another course to get some other examples. Loved the content!
