Struggling with scraping dynamic language websites? No need to worry! I got you covered

In this video, we'll create a database of cat photos, which we'll extract from Instagram by searching for "#cat".
We'll work closely with the Developer Tools, target specific elements and discuss the best selectors to use depending on the situation.
We'll also talk about the common errors when scraping React and the best way to tackle them.
