  This blog will explain the working of the algorithm using  web scraping services  and what kind of steps will be required to build a structured algorithm. The following steps are frequently required when creating a sophisticated algorithm: You will start with a basic algorithm that solves a little problem. Need to scale it up such that it may be used to solve several instances of the same problem. The algorithm is made more complex by adding layers of complexity. After these processes are finished, you can gradually add more features, like Machine Learning, exploratory data analysis or insight extraction, and visualization. The Basic Algorithm This is the code used to  extract data from Yelp  page and give you an idea of what algorithm is used. import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import timecomment_list = list() for pag in range(1, 29): time.sleep(5) URL = "https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-cortez-raleigh?osq=Restaurants&start="+str(pag*10)+"&sort_by=rat
