What's next?

Web scraping is dynamic, demanding, and also a challenging task. We need to obey the legal perspective, which is presented on a website's Terms of Services (ToS) and Privacy Policy before carrying this task forward. Python programming, with its supportive nature, easy syntax, short and readable code formation, and the availability of libraries and tools is one of the best languages to be used in web scraping.

Still, the challenges are there and general scripts might not be able to fulfill the demand that exists. Sometimes, a scraping task might be for a huge volume, and personal PCs or laptops won't be a place worth implementing when you consider time, machine resources, and more. There are a number of features and procedures that can make a scraping task more complicated and challenging. Let's go over some of them:

  • The adoption of growing web-based security measures

  • Dynamic loading of data and the involvement of scripting languages makes scraping complex

  • Presence of CAPTCHA, which can be found at http://www.captcha.net/

  • Blocking a user's IP address (for simultaneous requests)

  • Blocking requests from certain parts of the world (using and switching proxies might help) 

For such cases, we can get help from organizations who are doing scraping-related work. These organizations can help us with our demand of data by charging certain fees and providing us with a web interface where we can process our demand. Such companies may be searched for in Google as Web Scraping Services or Web Scraping Softwares. There's also various browser-based extensions available that can be found by searching for Scraping Extensions.
