Need Help Building a CNN Python Scraper – Any Tips or Tutorials?

Yo, I feel you! CNN’s site is a nightmare to scrape lol.

I’d say go with Selenium + BeautifulSoup combo. Selenium handles the dynamic stuff, and BeautifulSoup helps parse the HTML.

For tutorials, check out Real Python’s guide on web scraping. They’ve got a solid walkthrough for handling sites like CNN.

Oh, and use a proxy or rotate user agents to avoid blocks.
