      Reply to How do I handle scraping pages with endless AJAX requests?

      Scrapy’s Splash library renders JavaScript, making it easier to handle pages that rely heavily on AJAX for content.

      If the PDFs follow a specific structure, regex helps isolate specific data fields like names, dates, or amounts from the raw text.

      Reply to How do I deal with scraped data that has inconsistent formatting?

      I sometimes find it helpful to group similar data fields, such as phone numbers or names, for bulk formatting and error-checking.

      Reply to What strategies can I use to scrape websites with limited search functionality?

      Combining searches with user-agent changes can sometimes bypass limitations, especially on mobile vs. desktop versions of a site.

      I also use local storage as a temporary buffer, then upload the data in batches to cloud storage. This method reduces network load during scraping.

      How can I analyze food delivery trends using data from GrabFood and Foodpanda?

      Both GrabFood and Foodpanda feature popular items and restaurants, which I monitor to see which types of cuisine are in high demand.
