The journey to my first ‘full-stack’ data science project — a practical guide to web scraping

I’ve had my fun playing around with all the ‘classic’ ML datasets (the likes of MNIST, Titanic, Iris, etc.) and I decided it's time to start something of my own. The main reason being that I simply want something different. It all felt somewhat artificial, I want something new and challenging. Something that is not served to me on a silver platter.

I spend a good while mulling over possible projects and came up with a few possible avenues, one of which I will go over in this post. To help get more out of the experience, I thought I would blog my journey.
