Need Help Building a Node Website Scraper – Any Tips or Best Practices?

7 Replies, 1807 Views

Hey! If you’re building a node website scraper, you might wanna check out `scrapy` (Python) for inspiration. It’s not Node, but their approach to handling pagination and rate limits is solid.

For npm packages, `axios-retry` is great for handling failed requests. And yeah, Puppeteer is worth it if you’re dealing with dynamic content.

Also, don’t forget to check the site’s `robots.txt` to avoid scraping restricted pages.
