Can NumPy Be Used with Web Scraping? Exploring Its Role in Data Processing

18 Replies, 1492 Views

Numpy is great for number crunching, but for web scraping, it’s kinda overkill unless you’re dealing with a lot of numerical data.

If you’re scraping text or HTML, stick with BeautifulSoup and requests. Once you’ve got the data, pandas is a better fit for cleaning and organizing it.

But hey, if you’re already comfortable with numpy, go for it! It’s not wrong, just not always necessary.
