Web scraping is powerful, but with great power comes great responsibility. When you are scraping somebody’s website, you should be mindful of not sending too many requests. Most websites have a “robots.txt” which shows the rules that your web scraper should obey (which URLs are allowed to be scraped, which ones are not, the rate of requests you can send, etc.)."
