Hey! For a python program to scrape website data, I'd say start with BeautifulSoup if you're new—it's easier to learn. Scrapy is faster but has a steeper curve.

For avoiding blocks, try adding headers (like User-Agent) and use `time.sleep()` between requests. Proxies help too—check out free ones on https://free-proxy-list.net/, but paid ones like Luminati are more reliable.

If you're hitting 403 errors, the site might have basic bot detection. Rotate IPs or use selenium with a headless browser as a last resort.
