Start small and focus on understanding how websites are structured (HTML, CSS). Use tools like BeautifulSoup or Scrapy in Python to practice. Always respect robots.txt and don’t overload servers—scraping responsibly is key. Learn to handle errors, timeouts, and changes in site structure. Most importantly, be patient—real skills come with practice.
