Abstract
The web is full of wonderful and freely available information. Some of it is readily available and neatly organized and some of it is hiding in plain sight. Most of this data is publicly available and comes from state of art databases, but there is no easy way to access it, such as in airbnb.com.The listings on the AIRBNB are freely accessible to anyone who cares to browse their really nice portal, but if we want to do some exploratory statistical analysis then there is no easy way to get a complete and sufficiently large dataset. There are techniques to crawl the AIRBNB webpage by using python web crawling tools .By crawling or scraping, the data can be downloaded and parsed as text and can be analyzed. While running the AIRBNB crawler with scrapy, we can view the number of profiles created every day and the number of hosts visiting the site. Index Terms— AIRBNB, Crawling, Initiating Output, Data Analysis.
