Web Scraping NBA Games With Python [Full Walkthrough W/Code]

We'll learn how to scrape NBA box scores with python and combine them into a pandas DataFrame that you can use for machine learning or data analysis.

We'll download standings data and box scores using playwright, parse them with beautifulsoup, and clean them up using pandas. By the end, we'll have a DataFrame with NBA stats from several seasons.
