Subject: Best way to python web scrape an article github—any tips?
Hey folks!
I’m working on a project where I need to python web scrape an article github. Not the whole repo, just the text from an article or README.
Tried BeautifulSoup + requests, but GitHub’s structure’s a bit tricky. Anyone got a clean way to do this?
Also, rate limits are a pain—should I use an API instead? Or just stick with scraping?
Bonus Q: If the article’s in markdown, is there a smarter way to grab it without parsing HTML?
Thanks in advance! (and sorry if this’s been asked before—my search-fu is weak today 😅)

*PS: If you’ve got code snippets, even better!*
