Need help with a web scrape script – any tips for avoiding blocks? or What’s the best way to optimize

Dynamic content pro tip: Sometimes the data is just sitting in the page source as JSON. Right-click > View Source and search for "window.__DATA__" or similar.

If not, try cheerio with Node.js—it’s lightning fast for parsing HTML, and you can pair it with a headless browser for JS-heavy sites.

And yeah, lazy-loading sucks. Try triggering scroll events programmatically to load more content.
