Best Practices for Selenium Web Scraping: How to Handle Dynamic Content and Avoid Getting Blocked?

18 Replies, 1127 Views

Hey there! Selenium web scraping is tricky, but you’re on the right track. For dynamic content, I’d recommend using `AjaxElementLocatorFactory`. It’s a lifesaver for elements that take forever to load.

As for avoiding blocks, rotating proxies is key. I’ve had good luck with Oxylabs. Also, randomizing your request intervals helps a lot—don’t scrape too fast!

If you’re open to alternatives, Puppeteer is another tool worth checking out. It’s lighter than Selenium and handles dynamic content pretty well.
