If your page text selector is grabbing too much, try narrowing it down with parent-child relationships. Something like `div.main > p.text` works better than just `p`.

For tools, I’ve used Cheerio with Node.js—it’s fast and simple. For JS-heavy pages, you might need to intercept API calls instead of scraping the DOM.

Also, some sites block scrapers, so rotate user-agents or use proxies.
