If you’re trying to python web scrape an article github, BeautifulSoup *can* work, but it’s fragile. GitHub changes their layout sometimes.
The API’s the way to go, honestly. Here’s a tip: use `requests` with a personal token to bump your rate limit.
For markdown, the raw endpoint is gold. Just append `?raw=true` to the URL, and you’re done.
```python
import requests
r = requests.get("https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/blob/main/README.md?raw=true")
print(r.text)
```
Easy peasy!
