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

Scraping meaning data? APIs all the way if you can. Less headache, more consistency.

But if you’re stuck with Python, check out requests-html. It’s like BeautifulSoup but with JS support.

Accuracy-wise, it’s a gamble. I’ve seen scraped data be spot-on and totally wrong in the same dataset.

For tools, Octoparse is worth a look if you want something visual. Not perfect, but gets the job done.
