What’s the best way to go about scraping meaning data from websites? or How accurate is scraping mean

If you’re scraping meaning data for research, accuracy is key. I’d say go for APIs first—way more reliable.

Python scripts are fun, but you’ll hit rate limits and CAPTCHAs fast. Use proxies if you must go that route.

Tools? Scrapy + Playwright combo is my go-to for dynamic content. BeautifulSoup is too basic for complex sites.

And yeah, large text sources are a nightmare. Start small or you’ll regret it.
