What does the process of web scraping actually look like?

• parsel-cli

  3 24 0.0 Python

  cli for evaluating css and xpath selectors

For that I use my own little tool called parsel-cli which allows to quickly test parsing expressions on live web pages.

• requests-cache

  7 1,254 8.7 Python

  Transparent persistent cache for python requests

  

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.
