What's the best way to build a Python web crawler for scraping large sites? or How do I optimize my P

"Is BeautifulSoup or Scrapy better for a python web crawler?"

Hey folks!

So I'm trying to build a python web crawler for scraping a ton of product pages, but I'm stuck on whether to use BeautifulSoup or Scrapy.

BS4 seems easier for small stuff, but Scrapy looks like it’s built for speed and scaling. Anyone got real-world experience with both?

Also, does Scrapy’s learning curve suck or is it worth the hassle?

(And yeah, I know about requests + BS4 combo, but I’m worried it’ll fall apart on bigger sites.)

Thanks in advance! 🚀
