🚀 What This Scraper Does

The scraper automates the collection of sheet music, books, and media data. Unlike a standard crawler, it performs a "deep dive" into product attributes and dynamic elements that are often missed by simpler tools. Der Scraper automatisiert die Erfassung von Noten, Büchern und Mediendaten. Im Gegensatz zu einem herkömmlichen Crawler führt er einen „Deep Dive“ in Produkteigenschaften und dynamische Elemente durch, die von einfacheren Tools häufig übersehen werden.
