Re:Web Scraping with Beautiful Soup (2014) by madenine on Friday November 11, 2016 @03:34PM (#12934077)
My web scraping toolkit (Python):

-Beautiful Soup

-Requests Lib

-JSON Lib

-Selenium

-Urllib2

-Cookielib

Handles 99% of things I encounter. With dynamic sites, you're often better off simulating the request than controlling the browser.

Then you get to parse your way through someone's annoyingly formatted JSON.
