Zeid Abughazaleh on Oct 23, 2026C# web scraping usually pairs HttpClient with an HTML parser such as AngleSharp. Reuse one client, set firm limits, validate every response, and stop pagination loops before saving records. Use Playwright for JavaScript-rendered pages, and add proxies only when a documented routing or location requirement exists.

Yazan Sharawi on Jan 24, 2025The best Python library for web scraping depends on which part of the job you need it to perform. Requests and HTTPX retrieve documents. Beautiful Soup, lxml, and selectolax parse HTML. Scrapy schedules and manages crawls. Playwright and Selenium control real browsers when JavaScript or interaction is necessary.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Jan 21, 2025Scrapy Playwright connects Scrapy's crawling and data-export features with Playwright's browser automation. Use it when the information you need appears after JavaScript runs, or when collecting it requires an action such as scrolling. This guide walks through installation, a complete spider, JSON export, and optional Proxidize proxy configuration. The example visits a public practice site, waits for quotes to appear, scrolls once, verifies that the rendered quote count increases, and saves the results.

Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Dec 20, 2024Choosing between Puppeteer vs Selenium should be a straightforward concept but there are various things to keep in mind before blindly picking one over the other. They are both well-known open-source tools that are mainly used for browser automation and testing. While Puppeteer is a newer addition to the programming world, it has gained appreciation from developers due to its useful features and great performance. Selenium on the other hand has existed since 2004 and remains an industry leader in automation and offering support for multiple programming languages and platforms. This article aims to compare Puppeteer vs Selenium by looking at their installation and general differences before answering the question of Puppeteer vs Selenium.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Dec 19, 2024Screen scraping extracts data from what’s visually rendered on a screen rather than from the underlying source code. Web scraping sends an HTTP request and parses the raw HTML or JSON that comes back. Screen scraping goes further: it loads the page in a browser, lets everything render (JavaScript, AJAX calls, dynamic components, all of it), and then pulls data from the result. What you see on screen is what it collects.
Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Dec 13, 2024Businesses often use data mining as a way to predict customer behavior, optimize marketing campaigns, and identify any bottlenecks. They generate massive amounts of data through daily transactions, customer experience interactions, and operational processes. However, only about 12% of this data is properly analyzed to create meaningful insights. Data mining closes this gap through algorithms and statistical methods that find the hidden patterns in larger datasets. Through a combination of machine learning, AI, and statistical analysis, businesses can turn the raw data into business intelligence. This article will explain data mining’s development, core methodologies, and practical applications. You will learn about essential tools and find ways to measure your mining projects’ success.
