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

Hey! Selenium web scraping is tough, but you’ll get the hang of it. For dynamic content, try using `execute_async_script` to wait for specific conditions in JavaScript. It’s way more efficient than constant waits.

For avoiding blocks, proxies are a must. I use GeoSurf, and it’s been great. Also, make sure to rotate your headers and use a headless browser to reduce detection.

If you’re open to trying something new, Scrapy + Selenium is a powerful combo for scraping dynamic sites. Worth a shot!
