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

Dynamic content is the worst, right? RSelenium is your best bet for R scraping, but it’s a bit of a learning curve. Make sure you’re using `remoteDriver()` properly to simulate clicks and scrolls.

For pagination, I’d suggest using `tidyverse` to organize your data as you scrape. And don’t forget to handle errors with `tryCatch()`—saved me so many times.

If you’re still stuck, maybe try `rvest` with `html_session()` for simpler cases. It’s not as powerful but way easier to set up.
