How to get info from web?

Use API

If API exists, you can usually use JSON data after send the right parameters. Example to get weather data.

import requests
url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather"

params = {'q': 'Brno',
          'units': 'metric',
          'lang': 'cz'}

r = requests.get(url=url, params=params)
data = r.json()

print(data['main']['temp'])
