  • BeautifulSoup and requests together make for a powerful scraping combination, especially for sites like Lazada Thailand that display a lot of product data on each page. If the page you are scraping is not fully dynamic, you can use BeautifulSoup to extract the names and prices directly. One trick is to handle pagination, which allows you to scrape all the products listed under various categories. Additionally, remember to parse the content by looking at different classes used in the site’s structure.

    import requests
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    url = 'https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=electronics'
    headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
    # Find all products in the catalog
    product_elements = soup.find_all('div', class_='c3i7w0')
    for product in product_elements:
        name = product.find('div', class_='c16H9d').text
        price = product.find('span', class_='c13VH6').text
        print(f'Product: {name}, Price: {price}')
    
  • To handle structural changes, I use flexible selectors and regularly test the scraper to adapt to updates in Wayfair’s HTML layout.
