How can I efficiently scrape websites using bs4 Python? or What are the best practices for parsing HT

Honestly, bs4 python is my go-to for simple scraping. It’s fast and easy.

But yeah, if the site’s JS-heavy, you’ll need Selenium or Puppeteer.

For practice, try scraping Wikipedia tables or IMDB top movies. Way easier than e-commerce sites with anti-bot stuff.

Pro tip: `soup.get_text()` cleans up messy HTML if you just want the text.
