Scraping Multiple Pages with Python and BeautifulSoup
Web scraping can be a bit tricky, especially when you're trying to gather data from multiple pages. If you've found yourself in a situation where your code only scrapes the first page and you've been scratching your head trying to figure out why, you’re not alone. In this guide, we’ll explore a common issue you might encounter with web scraping using Python, and we’ll provide you with an effective solution to modify your code for scraping multiple pages.
Understanding the Problem
When working with web scraping, it’s common to use loops to iterate through page numbers or URLs to extract data. However, if you find that your current code only scrapes data from the first page, it can be frustrating. Let's break down a sample of what may have gone wrong in your current setup.
Your Current Code
You might be using a loop like this:

While this structure is fundamentally correct, minor mistakes and issues can lead to problems, such as not properly iterating through the pages or not parsing the content correctly.
The Solution: Scraping Multiple Pages Successfully
Let’s look at a revised version of this code that effectively scrapes multiple pages and retrieves the data you need.
Revised Code Example

Key Changes Made
Pagination Logic: Ensure your loop correctly iterates through the desired range of pages. Here, we’ve set it to 0 through 10, meaning you’ll scrape ten pages.
Requesting the URL: We are now using an f-string for clearer URL formatting.
Content Parsing: All relevant content (titles, links, categories) is gathered within the loop to create a cohesive dataset.
DataFrame Creation: Finally, we store the results into a Pandas DataFrame that you can export or manipulate easily for further analysis.
Expected Output
By using this updated code snippet, you should be able to scrape about 160 items from the specified pages since each can have multiple entries. The output will be structured like this:

Adjust the number in the range() function to scrape more or fewer pages according to your needs.
Final Thoughts
With these updates, you now have a robust solution for scraping multiple pages using Python and BeautifulSoup. Always ensure you handle the requests responsibly (e.g., with time delays and compliance with robots.txt files). Happy scraping!
