Web Scraping and Analyzing Economic News

Challenge 9
Level: Medium

Description: Recently you became more interested in finance, and since you want to learn more about web scraping for work, you decided to unite both interests. Using the KNIME Web Interaction extension, can you navigate to the Economic News section on Yahoo Finance, extract the headers of only the most recent topics that pop up on the webpage, and then make sense of the results visually? Remember to filter out any ads or unrelated banners/headers/content. Hint: Find class tags in the news' XML that are unique to the content you are scraping.
