How can I scrape data from an AJAX-based website?

You can use tools like Beautiful Soup with requests in Python, or libraries like Puppeteer in JavaScript to handle AJAX.

Can you give me a code example using Python?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://example.com'
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')

# Find the data you need
data = soup.find_all('div', class_='data-class')
for item in data:
    print(item.text)

What if the data loads dynamically after the page is rendered?

In that case, you might want to use Selenium or Puppeteer, which can interact with the page as a browser would.

Are there any legal considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, always check the website's terms of service and robots.txt file to ensure you're allowed to scrape their data.
