Wow, thanks for all the insights, everyone! Definitely didn’t expect this much discussion.
The hiQ case is fascinating—I’ll dig into that. And yeah, I’ve been using BeautifulSoup for small stuff, but maybe I’ll check out Apify or Scrapy for bigger projects.
One follow-up: Anyone know if scraping *public* social media posts (like tweets) is still risky after the hiQ ruling? Or is that a whole new can of worms?
(Also, glad I’m not the only one who’s paranoid about this stuff 😅)
