Practical web scraping tutorials: Python and Playwright guides, proxy types explained, CAPTCHA handling, pagination strategies, and how to avoid getting blocked.

Web scraping is a moving target — sites change, anti-bot systems evolve, and yesterday's script breaks tomorrow. These guides teach the fundamentals that stay useful: parsing, pagination, browser automation, proxies, and staying unblocked.

New to scraping? Start with Web Scraping with Python or Web Scraping with Node.js, then level up with Playwright for dynamic sites and how to avoid getting blocked. For location-sensitive data, see US proxies with city-level geo-targeting or China proxies for Taobao, JD.com, and Weibo. Not sure which proxy tier to buy? Shared vs. dedicated proxies breaks down the cost and reliability tradeoffs. If you'd rather skip code entirely, no-code web scraping covers visual data collectors for analysts and PMs.
