I really hope Libreddit switches to scraping, the "Error: Too many request" thing is so annoying, I have to click the redirect button in Libredirect like 20 times until I can actually see a post.
Still a better experience than Reddits official site tho.
Sorry, I'm ignorant in this matter. Why exactly would you want to scrape websites aside from collecting data for ML? What kind of irreplaceable API are you using? Someone please educate me here.

So uh...as someone who's currently trying to scrape the web for email addresses to add to my potential client list ... where do I start researching this?
Start looking into selenium, probably in Python. It's one of the easier to understand forms of scraping. It's mainly used to web testing, though you can definitely use it for less... nice purposes.
Step one will be learning to code in any language. Step two is using a library to help with it. HtmlAgilityPack has always been there for me. Don't use regex.
