Scrapping websites and finding unique values (lemmy.ca)

Anyone have recommendation for how I can scrap a website, and extract unique names -- such as product names.

I was thinking of using some website scrapping tool, then a local LLM to find unique product names.

Scrappy created exactly for this use case. I used to work in project for product info scraping when LLMs didn’t exist. So you don’t really have to use LLM. It’s usually semi-structured data. Your biggest pain will likely be SPAs with JS which need to run in order to load content. If you need to render SPAs check Selenium web driver or similar
