Hey, this is Jonathan Boshoff, and welcome to my quick tutorial on getting started with ChatGPT and Python. If you have never used Python before and don’t know where to begin, this guide is perfect for you. I will show you how to use ChatGPT to generate a script that scrapes a web page and retrieves the headings.
To get started, all you need is ChatGPT and Google Colab. Google Colab is an environment where you can test your scripts. If you haven’t used it before, simply search for Google Colab and create a new notebook.
Once you have set up Google Colab, you can proceed to use ChatGPT. Enter the prompt I have provided, which specifies that you are looking for a Python script for Google Colab. It also includes clear instructions on what you are looking for in the script.
After entering the prompt, ChatGPT will generate the script for you. Copy the script and paste it into Google Colab. Then, run the script. It will install the necessary library, Beautiful Soup, which is used for web scraping.
Next, you will be prompted to enter a URL. Paste the URL of the web page you want to scrape and hit enter. The script will scrape the headings from the web page and output them.
This tutorial shows that even if you have no prior knowledge of Python, you can still generate a script using ChatGPT and test it out. It’s a great way to get started and explore the possibilities of scripting.
I recommend starting with the provided prompt for your first try. Once you are comfortable, you can come up with your own script and test it out. If you encounter any issues, you can troubleshoot with ChatGPT by providing your broken code or error messages.
