  • A key improvement for the scraper is handling pagination to collect data from multiple pages. Expedia’s hotel listings often span several pages, and scraping just the first page limits the scope of the data. By programmatically following the “Next” button and looping through all available pages, you can ensure comprehensive data collection. Introducing random delays between page loads prevents detection by anti-bot measures. This method allows for detailed analysis of hotel pricing trends across a wider dataset.

  • Adding pagination support would significantly improve the scraper’s functionality. Cars.com often displays a limited number of car listings per page, and navigating through multiple pages ensures a more comprehensive dataset. By identifying the “Next” button or pagination links, the scraper can loop through all available pages and collect more listings. Random delays between requests reduce the chances of being flagged by anti-scraping systems. Pagination handling is an essential feature for scraping larger datasets.
