lol i feel you on the hair-pulling part. When I learned how to setup web scrapper, I jumped into Scrapy and regretted it.
Stick with BeautifulSoup—it’s like training wheels.
Also, use `fake-useragent` lib to avoid blocks. And maybe try scraping https://quotes.toscrape.com/ first—it’s made for practice.
Biggest mistake? Not checking robots.txt. Some sites will wreck you if you ignore it.
