Best Practices for Using wget to Scrape URLs: Any Tips or Pitfalls to Avoid?

22 Replies, 2308 Views

Hey! One thing I’ve learned with wget scrape urls is to always check the site’s terms of service. Some sites don’t like scraping, so tread carefully.

For rate-limiting, I use `--wait` and `--limit-rate` together. Works like a charm.

For organizing, I create a script to auto-sort files into folders based on file type. Saves a ton of time!
