  • Error handling is crucial to ensure the scraper runs reliably even when Nordstrom changes its page layout. If elements like product prices or ratings are missing, the script should skip those items or log the error without crashing. Wrapping the parsing logic in conditional checks or try-catch blocks helps maintain the scraper’s robustness. Logging skipped items and errors can provide insights into potential improvements and help adapt to structural changes. Regular testing and updates to the script will keep it functional over time.
