    When dealing with dynamic content, I prefer capturing JSON responses directly. This avoids rendering HTML and simplifies the extraction process.

  • Another way to improve the scraper is by storing the extracted data in a structured format like a CSV file or a database. Storing data in a file makes it easier to analyze and process later, while databases enable more complex queries and reporting. For example, you can save the product name, price, and rating to a CSV file using a library like OpenCSV or write the data to a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. This adds scalability and makes the scraper useful for larger datasets or repeated runs.
