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

Hey! I’ve been there with web scraping in R. For dynamic content, RSelenium is your best bet, but it’s a bit slow. If you’re okay with Python, `BeautifulSoup` and `Selenium` are way easier for JS-heavy sites.

For IP bans, I use a proxy service like Bright Data. It’s pricey, but it works. Also, always check the site’s terms of service before scraping.
