    Paywalls are often illegal to scrape without permission, so the best practice is to look for APIs or subscription-based data access.

    Sometimes paywalls hide content but still load it in the HTML—inspect the page’s source code to see if the data is there.

    Browser automation tools like Playwright or Selenium can be used to log in and access content behind paywalls, but proceed cautiously.
