What are the best methods for scraping product listings on Taobao using Python?

[Beren Saral]

BeautifulSoup works well for parsing static elements once the page is fully loaded, like product names, prices, and categories.

[Nindaanis Yolotli]

Rotating proxies and varying user-agent headers reduce detection risks, as Taobao has strict anti-scraping mechanisms.

[Heide Bhumi]

I organize products by category, focusing on high-demand sections like electronics and fashion, which helps manage the volume of data.

By capturing timestamps, I can track price changes over time, revealing seasonal trends and sales patterns.
