How do I scrape data from government or public record sites?
Government websites often have APIs available, so check if one exists before scraping.

Use BeautifulSoup or Scrapy for structured data like tables or forms, which are common on public record sites.

Some sites have rate limits in place, so ensure your scraper is respectful of those limits to avoid getting blocked.

Always check if there are legal restrictions on scraping public records, as some data may be sensitive.
