This tutorial guides readers through building an end-to-end web scraping workflow with Crawlee for Python. It covers generating a local demo site, then scraping using BeautifulSoupCrawler, ParselCrawler, and PlaywrightCrawler to extract titles, metadata, product fields, and JavaScript-rendered cards, while capturing full-page screenshots. It then proceeds to data normalization, link graph construction, and finally exporting to JSON, CSV, and RAG-ready JSONL chunks.
