Creating a data scraper as a beginner?
Regex is not a great tool for parsing web pages. Open up a browser dev tools window and select a bit of the page. Right click > copy... XPath expression or CSS selector.

Show HN: A tool like jq, but for parsing HTML
This is HTML to JSON, written in Rust, and there's also pup[1] which I found out about just the other day on HN[2] which uses a very similar syntax (CSS selectors) but outputs HTML and is written in Go.
I can see room for both though it would interesting to have a more detailed comparison to go on (e.g. types of HTML, speed etc).
