What’s the best way to handle web scraping in R for beginners? or How can I improve my web scraping i

rvest is fine, but for modern web scraping in R, check out `plash` (phantomJS wrapper) for JS-heavy sites.

403 errors? Brutal. Sometimes you just need proxies. Free ones suck tho—try `proxyR` if you’re serious.

And always, *always* check `robots.txt`. No point scraping if the site bans it.
