Hey folks!

Anyone got a solid Python web scraping article (GitHub) they can recommend? Been digging around but most stuff is either outdated or way too basic.

Looking for something with clean code examples, maybe some BS4 or Scrapy stuff. Bonus if it covers handling JS-heavy sites!

Found a few repos but not sure which ones are worth the time.

Thanks in advance!

Yo!

What’s the best Python web scraping article (GitHub) you’ve stumbled on lately? Need something practical, not just theory.

Preferably with actual code snippets and maybe some real-world use cases.

Drop links if you got ‘em! Cheers.

Hey, has anyone seen a good Python web scraping article (GitHub) recently?

Trying to up my scraping game and could use some fresh resources.

Thanks!
Check out this Python web scraping article (GitHub) by Mitchell O’Donnell. It’s got solid BS4 examples and even touches on Scrapy.

The repo’s got clean code and a section on handling JS-heavy sites with Selenium.

Worth a look!
Yo, if you’re into Scrapy, this Python web scraping article (GitHub) by someone named ‘scrapemaster’ is gold.

Real-world examples, like scraping e-commerce sites, and it’s updated regularly.

Also, they use Playwright for JS-heavy stuff—way faster than Selenium IMO.
Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re after, but this Python web scraping article (GitHub) by ‘datascraper’ has some neat tricks.

Covers BS4, requests, and even proxies for avoiding bans.

Code’s a bit messy in places, but the concepts are solid.
Hey! Found this Python web scraping article (GitHub) last week—focuses on async scraping with aiohttp and BS4.

Super fast for bulk scraping, and the examples are beginner-friendly.

Link’s here: [github.com/async-scraper/guide](https://github.com/async-scraper/guide)
Man, I feel you—so many outdated guides out there.

This Python web scraping article (GitHub) by ‘webminer’ is recent (2023) and covers Scrapy + Splash for JS sites.

The repo’s got a whole section on avoiding CAPTCHAs too.
If you’re cool with something a bit advanced, this Python web scraping article (GitHub) dives into headless browsers.

Uses Puppeteer with Pyppeteer (Python port). Not pure BS4/Scrapy, but super useful for modern sites.
Wow, thanks for all the links! Gonna dig into that async one first—sounds perfect for my project.

Quick Q though: anyone tried combining Playwright with BS4? Wondering if it’s overkill for simple static sites.

Appreciate the help!
For a quick fix, this Python web scraping article (GitHub) by ‘scrapingpro’ has bite-sized examples.

Nothing fancy, but great for copy-pasting and tweaking.

Covers BS4, XPath, and a bit of Selenium.
Honestly, just check out Scrapy’s official docs—they’ve got a Python web scraping article (GitHub) linked in their tutorials.

Clean, maintained, and covers everything from basics to middleware.
