Best Practices for Webscraping AirNow Data: What Tools and Techniques Work Best?

9 Replies, 1412 Views

Hey there! I’ve been scraping airnow data for a while, and I feel your pain.

I’d recommend trying out `pandas` for parsing the data once you scrape it. Makes life so much easier.

For pagination, I wrote a simple loop with `requests` and `BeautifulSoup`. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done.

Also, don’t forget to use `time.sleep()` to avoid getting blocked. I usually set it to 2-3 seconds between requests.

Good luck!
