It's pretty hacky looking and I should probably refactor it

Sounds like a lot of my web scraping work too! 🤣

I think it's especially easy to fall into that with web scraping because you try, try, try until it works and then "don't touch it!" or else it might break... haha - at least that's how I feel :)

Nice post! and neat project.

Thanks Chris!

Yes totally!! You spend forever trying to extract the most specific data point and once you get it thats all that matters! Working code is what's most important after all lol
