To enhance the scraper’s functionality, you can add pagination support for extracting data from multiple pages. This involves identifying the “Next” button link on the page and programmatically navigating to subsequent pages. By iterating through all available pages, the scraper can collect a complete dataset for a specific category. Adding a delay between requests helps mimic human behavior and prevents the server from detecting bot activity. This approach ensures comprehensive data collection without overloading the server.

To enhance the scraper’s robustness, you can incorporate error handling for missing elements or unexpected changes in the page structure. For example, if a product listing is missing a price or rating, the scraper should log the issue and continue processing the remaining products. Try-catch blocks can help handle network issues or timeouts during the HTTP request. Logging errors and skipped items makes it easier to debug and refine the scraper. This ensures the scraper remains reliable even when Target updates its website.
