  • Scraping with BeautifulSoup vs. Scrapy: Which one should I choose?

    BeautifulSoup is simpler and better for small scraping jobs, while Scrapy is more powerful for large-scale projects.

    Scrapy is faster for crawling multiple pages because it’s asynchronous.

    BeautifulSoup is more flexible if you’re just scraping a few static pages.

    If your scraping needs grow, start with BeautifulSoup, then switch to Scrapy when necessary.
