Hey! If you're looking to scrape a page to download images from a website, I’d recommend starting with BeautifulSoup. It’s pretty beginner-friendly and doesn’t require a ton of setup. Just make sure to check the website’s `robots.txt` file to see if scraping is allowed. Also, don’t hammer the site with too many requests at once—space them out to avoid getting blocked.

For terms of service, always read the site’s policy. Some sites explicitly allow scraping for personal use, while others don’t. If you’re unsure, it’s better to err on the side of caution.
