  1. 10 MOST COMMON WEB SCRAPING CHALLENGES

  2. Website Structure Changes Websites often undergo redesigns or updates, which can lead to changes in the structure of HTML elements. Scraping code may break if it relies on specific HTML tags or CSS selectors.

  3. Anti-Scraping Measures Websites may implement anti-scraping techniques such as CAPTCHAs, IP blocking, rate limiting, or user-agent detection to deter or block automated scrapers.

  4. Authentication Scraping data from password-protected or session- based websites requires handling login credentials and sessions, adding complexity to the scraping process.

  5. Data Volume Large-scale scraping can lead to high data volumes, which can strain server resources, slow down the scraping process, or even result in IP bans

  6. Legal and Ethical Concerns Web scraping may infringe on website terms of service or copyright laws. Ensuring ethical and legal compliance is essential.

  7. Handling Unstructured Data Web pages often contain unstructured or semi-structured data, which may require sophisticated parsing and cleaning techniques to extract meaningful information.

  8. Pagination and Navigation Scraping paginated content or websites with complex navigation systems can be challenging, as you need to navigate through multiple pages and handle URL parameters.

  9. Error Handling Handling errors gracefully, such as network issues, timeouts, or unexpected website changes, is crucial for maintaining a reliable scraping process.

  10. Ethical Considerations Consider the ethical implications of web scraping, such as respecting website terms of use, privacy concerns, and the impact of scraping on the target website.

  11. Storage and Processing Storing and processing the scraped data efficiently, especially when dealing with large datasets, can be challenging and may require a robust infrastructure.
