Looking to Learn: How to Scrape Data from Web with Golang – Any Tips or Best Practices?

Yo! Golang + web scraping is a vibe once you get the hang of it. For dynamic content, I’d recommend Selenium with a Golang wrapper. It’s a bit heavy, but it works like a charm for JS-heavy sites.

Rate-limiting is tricky, but I’ve found that using proxies (like Bright Data or ScraperAPI) helps a ton. They handle the blocking stuff for you, so you can focus on the scraping part.

Also, don’t forget to check the site’s `robots.txt` file before you start. Some sites are cool with scraping, others… not so much.
