Best Practices for Using wget to Scrape URLs: Any Tips or Common Pitfalls to Avoid?

18 Replies, 1284 Views

Wow, thanks everyone for the awesome tips! I tried the `--wait` and `--limit-rate` options, and it’s already way better.

I also tested the `--spider` flag, and it’s a game-changer for avoiding accidental downloads.

One follow-up question though: how do you guys handle dynamic content? Like, sites that load stuff with JavaScript? I’m thinking of trying Puppeteer or Scrapy, but not sure which one’s better for my use case.

Thanks again for all the help—this thread is gold!
