If you’re screen scraping web page data, Scrapy + Zyte (formerly Scrapinghub) is a killer combo. They handle proxies and CAPTCHAs for you.
Also, don’t ignore rate limiting. Even if you’re rotating IPs, sending 1000 requests/min will get you banned.
And yeah, always prefer APIs. If they don’t have one, maybe ask the site owner first?
