Python Web Scraping Cookbook

Integrating the REST API with scraping code

In this recipe, we will integrate code that we wrote for scraping and getting a clean job listing from StackOverflow with our API.  This will result in a reusable API that can be used to perform on-demand scrapes without the client needing any knowledge of the scraping process.  Essentially, we will have created a scraper as a service, a concept we will spend much time with in the remaining recipes of the book.
