Best Practices for DOI Web Scraping: How to Extract Data Efficiently and Ethically?

16 Replies, 1629 Views

Hey! I’m kinda new to doi web scraping too, but here’s what I’ve learned so far:

- Always respect robots.txt. It’s not just ethical—it’s smart.
- Use Scrapy if you’re doing a lot of scraping. It’s got built-in features for handling rate limits.
- For smaller jobs, BeautifulSoup is super easy to use.

Also, check out the website Scrapy.org. They’ve got tons of tutorials and docs to help you get started.
