Gift Card Scraper with Python and Robobrowser

In this video we use Python combined with Robobrowser to build a program that allows us to extract balance information for gift cards that we may have.
Specifically we show how to extract the balance of a Starbucks gift card.
These techniques can be more broadly applied to extracting balance information for any gift card you may have on hand and serves as a way to aggregate all of your balances from all of your gift cards instead of individually navigating to each site and checking.
This is a toy project and the purpose is to help you learn practical web scraping with a focus on something that many people may optimistically find utility in.
You will require that Python and pip are installed on your machine: Python: Pip: Robobrowser: This video is part of a larger series on Web Scraping and Automation.
You can watch the other videos in this series here: Further videos on Robobrowser: As always the code in this video is hosted on my Github profile here.
I encourage you to fork the project and add functionality for whichever gift card you happen to have: Website:
