Good Day,
I am very new to Python and am just now learning Beautiful Soup and web scraping methods. I wanted to try to practice one method by automating a very tedious process whereas the script does the following:
1. Goes to this link: https://mattrode.com/blog/robinhood-collections-list/
2. Goes to each of the sublinks (numbered 1 to 191) (Example https://robinhood.com/collections/100-most-popular)
3. In that link extracts the symbol and saves it to a .csv (or text) file.
and it does it for every one of the links and symbols within each link.
I have searched online for doing this but I'm really not sure where to start or what to look for exactly.
Two things I do not yet know how to do: 1. Navigate to subdomains and return back to the original link to go into the next one and 2. extract elements from a table as complex as the ones in the link provided.
If anyone could assist me with this I would be grateful.
