Hey! Web scraping in R can be a headache, but it’s worth it. For dynamic content, RSelenium is the go-to, but it’s heavy. If you want something lighter, try `V8` for running JS directly in R.
For IP bans, I use a VPN and rotate user agents. Also, try to mimic human behavior as much as possible.
Hope this helps!

Web scraping in R is tough, but you’ll get there! For dynamic content, RSelenium is the best, but it’s slow. If you want something faster, try `puppeteer` via `chromote`.
For IP bans, I use a proxy service and random delays. Also, make sure to respect the site’s rate limits.
Good luck, and don’t give up!
