Handling Scraping Challenges Overview
Web scraping frequently encounters obstacles designed to prevent automated access or arising from website design. This section outlines strategies for common challenges.
Sub-sections cover specific tactics for:
- Rate Limiting & Politeness: Avoiding overwhelming servers and handling "Too Many Requests" errors.
- Pagination & Infinite Scroll: Navigating through multiple pages or dynamically loaded lists of results.
- Anti-Scraping Measures: Dealing with mechanisms explicitly designed to detect and block scrapers (proxies, user-agents).
