Great thread! The legality of web scraping is such a murky topic. I’ve been using Scrapy for a while, and it’s been solid—just gotta respect robots.txt and throttle requests.
Some sites straight-up block scrapers, but tools like Bright Data (formerly Luminati) help navigate those hurdles legally. Just avoid scraping anything behind a login unless you’ve got explicit permission.
Also, the *hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn* case is a must-read if you’re wondering is web scraping legal. Court said public data is fair game, but who knows how long that’ll last.
