This is the best YouTube channel around! It is the only channel that I have watched and then turned around and made real life money with. I finally got my Patreon subscription (never paid for Patreon before now) today and I ask everyone to do the same! Thank you so much for all the content you make 🙏🙏🙏 Let's scrape the planet!

These are some killer tips, John! You really made some sparse knowledge I picked up here or there connect! I scraped a few complicated websites before in a very painful way. It took lots of time and I would get into lots of errors. Your tips made me realize where I was going wrong.
I will go on a scraping spree now and try to level up. If it turns out well I will try to share what I accomplish with others.

Been using xpath since I started scraping and the reason is xpath's contains text function. I was wondering if there is such thing in css?

Thanks for all your helpful videos. I've been having issues getting resolving an error 403 issue and was wondering if you have ideas? I tried the methods in one of your videos. Didn't go through.
