Struggling with R scraping: How do you handle dynamic content and pagination?

Hey! Dynamic content can be a pain, but RSelenium is def the way to go for R scraping. It mimics a real browser, so it can handle stuff like scrolling or clicking.

For pagination, I usually write a loop to iterate through pages and extract the data. Just make sure to add some delays (`Sys.sleep()`) to avoid getting blocked.

Also, check out `rvest` + `html_session()` for simpler cases. It’s not as heavy as RSelenium but can still handle some dynamic content. Good luck!
