Best Practices for Web Scraping in R: How to Handle Dynamic Content and Avoid Getting Blocked?

Dynamic content is the bane of my existence lol. For web scraping in R, RSelenium is a must for JS-heavy pages. It’s slow, but it works.

Another tip: try `httr`’s `set_cookies` function—it can help you get past some blocks.

For avoiding blocks, I use a mix of random delays, rotating user agents, and proxies. It’s not foolproof, but it helps.

Good luck, and don’t give up!
