Web Scraping with Python: from Fundamentals to Practice
For anyone who goes with requests as your HTTP client, I would highly recommend adding requests-cache for a nice performance boost.

What does the process of web scraping actually look like?
The hardest part is actually running a web scraper at scale and that's where many people fail. We have all of the working pieces - we can find the products and parse the raw data. Time to scale it up! Best tip here is to start off with caching. Using caching libraries like requests-cache or whatever library equivalent will speed up process significantly.

And would you be willing to add some example Terraform config? If you wouldn't mind making a PR for that, it could go under the /examples folder.

How to batch scrape Wall Street Journal (WSJ)'s Financial Ratios Data?
Ya, thanks for advice. When using requests_html library, I am trying to lower down the speed using response.html.render(timeout=1000), but it raise Runtime error instead on Google Colab: https://github.com/psf/requests-html/issues/517.
- Note, the first time you ever run the render() method, it will download Chromium into your home directory (e.g. ~/.pyppeteer/). This only happens once.

Top python libraries/ frameworks that you suggest every one
When it comes to web scraping, the usual people recommend is beautifulsoup, lxml, or selenium. But I highly recommend people check out requests-html also. Its a library that is a happy medium between ease of use as in beautifulsoup and also good enough to be used for dynamic, javascript data where it would be overkill to use a browser emulator like selenium.

Requests_html not working?
Quite possible. If you look at requests-html source code, it is simply one single python file that acts as a wrapper around a bunch of other packages, like requests, chromium, parse, lxml, etc., plus a couple convenience functions. So it could easily be some sort of bad dependency resolution.

Web Scraping in a professional setting: Selenium vs. BeautifulSoup
What I do is try to see if I can use requests_html first before trying selenium. requests_html is usually enough if I dont need to interact with browser widgets or if the authentication isnt too difficult to reverse engineer.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing requests-cache and requests-html you can also consider the following projects:
aiohttp-client-cache - An async persistent cache for aiohttp requests
Scrapy - Scrapy, a fast high-level web crawling & scraping framework for Python.
requests - A simple, yet elegant, HTTP library.
MechanicalSoup - A Python library for automating interaction with websites.

notionSnapshot - notion web scraper
feedparser - Parse feeds in Python
Uplink - A Declarative HTTP Client for Python
