Struggling with web scraping in R? Any tips or tools to make it easier?

Web scraping in R is fun once you get the hang of it! For dynamic content, I’d recommend `phantomjs` via the `webdriver` package. It’s lightweight and works well for most JS-heavy sites.

For IP bans, I use a VPN and rotate user agents with the `httr` package. Also, try to scrape during off-peak hours to avoid detection.

Hope this helps!
