If you wanna learn how to setup web scrapper without losing your mind, avoid Scrapy for now. It’s like driving a Ferrari when you need a bike.

BeautifulSoup + requests is the way. Here’s a dumb-simple script to scrape titles:

```python
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

url = "https://example.com"
page = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')
print(soup.title.text)
```

Boom. First scraper done.
