AI Summary:

Web scraping projects require careful planning, starting with language selection and utilizing specific libraries for tasks like handling JavaScript and parsing. Key technical steps include defining crawling paths, developing scalable infrastructure, and robust proxy management to bypass anti-bot measures. The process culminates in fetching and parsing data into a usable format, with continuous maintenance being critical due to dynamic website structures.

It’s not a secret that web scraping is becoming increasingly popular among various businesses around the world. It’s also not a secret that collecting public data, especially on a large scale, brings multiple challenges. This is the reason why Oxylabs is hosting a second web scraping conference you don’t want to miss!

Save your seat at OxyCon 2021 on August 25–26, and join the discussion on the most relevant topics in the world of web scraping! This year, OxyCon 2021 will take place entirely online. The two-day virtual event will bring global business leaders and Oxylabs’ experienced team together for in-depth, engaging talks and workshops.

“Data helps businesses make better, more informed decisions that eventually lead to great achievements. We believe that every business, big or small, needs to have access to valuable public data. OxyCon 2021 is an opportunity for everyone to learn from the top companies that utilize web scraping to its fullest potential and understand the fast-growing data gathering industry.”

– Julius Černiauskas, CEO at Oxylabs

What is OxyCon® 2021 about?

This year OxyCon will focus on three important topics. Depending on your business needs and personal interests, you can choose which workshops, discussions, and talks are the most relevant for you.

Data collection for business

While the internet is full of information on how relying on relevant data can help businesses make better decisions and improve their performance, collecting the required data can be a real challenge. You’ll learn the most recent standards for data gathering and how to make sure that your company doesn’t get stuck in the complex web scraping processes.

Web scraping for developers

Data targets are getting more and more advanced, and new challenges arise every day. To acquire the required data, developers need to think of smart solutions that help them leave all the difficulties behind. OxyCon 2021 will focus on the technical side of web scraping by offering various workshops and discussions.

What’s next in web scraping?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are already an inseparable part of web scraping. From AI-powered web scraping solutions to ML-based fingerprinting, it was hard to even think of such advanced solutions a few years ago. Naturally, the question arises: what more can we expect from web scraping? Join OxyCon 2021 and hear the predictions for the future from the industry experts.
