Web scraping is a fantastic skill to pick up! Start with Python and use the requests and BeautifulSoup libraries. First, grab a webpage using requests, then use BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML. Try something simple, like pulling headlines from a news site. It’s a quick way to learn the ropes and get the hang of scraping. You’ll be amazed at what you can do with it!

check out some youtube videos. start with something simple before overcomplicating it. and for sure use an antidetect browser with a proxy because if the website youre scraping catches you, your IP will be banned and you wont be able to access the website at all
