Hey there!
For beginners, rvest is the way to go. It’s simple and powerful for static sites. For dynamic content, you’ll need RSelenium or V8.
To avoid getting blocked, space out your requests with Sys.sleep() and use polite to respect robots.txt.
For cleaning data, I use stringr and dplyr. They make life so much easier.
Here’s a great resource: [RStudio’s web scraping guide](https://rstudio.com/).
Happy scraping!
