Scraping, Merging, and Extending NFL Datasets Using Python! UPDATE (8/4/2024): SEE DESCRIPTION BELOW

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

In this video, we will use Python and Pandas to scrape, merge, and extend NFL datasets from pro-football-reference.com. The techniques presented in this video are general. They can be used to scrape and merge datasets from any given data sources. UPDATE (8/4/2024): pro-football-reference.com has changed their rate limits to 10 requests per minute. This means that the Python code that *pauses* the program should now be random.randint(7, 8). If your program exceeds this new rate limit, it can be put in "jail" for 24 hours.
