Hey! Scraping a directory site - best practice +method please

Hey Team Bardeen, hope everyone is okay.
I am looking to scrape directory sites - think this will involve be deep scraping as I want to go into the page as well as the list.

Is there a playbook or some guidance on this please?
Kind thanks
sam

Hi Sam!

Deep scraping is certainly possible.

Here’s 2 in depth resources that will help you learn about it:

I’ve been a user of Futurepedia before.

What’s your use-case, just scraping it for directory purposes?

Or you plan to do certain workflow with it?

For this website there isn’t much complexities arround it :slight_smile:

You can setup a scraper for the general page or the category pages like this one:
