How can I scrape websites with infinite scroll without losing data?
If you’re using Python, selenium has built-in support for scrolling. Just use a loop that scrolls down and checks if new data has loaded. I add a try-catch block in case loading fails.

How can I scrape mobile-only websites from a desktop environment?
Sometimes I use proxies with mobile IPs. This, combined with a mobile user-agent, gives the best result because the target server believes the request is truly from a mobile device.

How do I identify hidden APIs that might be easier to scrape?
I also inspect any XHR or Fetch requests in the dev tools. They often lead to JSON endpoints, which are much simpler to parse than HTML.

How can I scrape product prices accurately without triggering anti-bot measures?
Rotating proxies with varying IPs ensures my scraper avoids detection, especially on sites with strict anti-bot protections around price data.
