Google Cloud Skill Boost Badge Counter

This Python project aims to count the number of GCP Skill Boost Badges in a public Google Cloud Skill Boost profile. It utilizes web scraping techniques to extract badge information from the provided profile URL.

How it Works

1. Fetch Webpage: The program sends a request to the provided URL using the requests library to retrieve the HTML content of the webpage.

2. Parse HTML: Using BeautifulSoup from the bs4 library, the HTML content is parsed to extract relevant information.

3. Extract Badge Information: The program identifies badge elements within the HTML structure based on their class name (profile-badge).

4. Count Badges: The number of badge elements found is counted to determine the total number of skill badges.

5. Output Result: The total number of skill badges is printed as output.
