Concert tickets are often listed over multiple pages, so automating navigation through “Next” buttons ensures you gather a complete dataset. Adding random delays between page loads mimics human behavior and reduces the likelihood of detection. With pagination handling, the scraper becomes more comprehensive and effective.

Member12/27/2024 at 7:45 am in reply to: How to scrape flower prices from 1-800-Flowers.com using Python?Adding pagination support ensures that the scraper captures all flower listings across multiple pages. 1-800-Flowers typically organizes products over several pages, and navigating programmatically through the “Next” button helps collect all available data. Random delays between page requests mimic human browsing behavior, reducing the risk of detection. Proper pagination handling improves the scraper’s ability to collect a complete dataset for comparison and analysis. This functionality is particularly useful for analyzing seasonal pricing trends.
