Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been diving into selenium web scraping lately, and man, it’s been a rollercoaster. I’m trying to scrape some sites with *super* dynamic content, and it’s driving me nuts. Like, the elements keep changing, and half the time, my script just misses stuff.
Also, I’m kinda worried about getting blocked. I’ve heard some horror stories about IP bans and CAPTCHAs. What’s the best way to avoid that? Should I be using proxies or something? Or maybe tweaking the request headers?
And for dynamic content, is there a better way than just using `WebDriverWait` all the time? Feels like my code’s getting messy with all the waits.
Any tips or best practices for selenium web scraping? Would really appreciate some advice before I lose my mind lol.
Thanks in advance!
