Notes
- The site is a static PHP CMS with no anti-bot protection or JavaScript requirement.
- Some articles in the 协会新闻 column link to external WeChat posts — these are skipped; only local site articles are scraped.
- Regulatory notices in the 通知公告 column often include PDF attachments (team standards, drug certifications, etc.) — their URLs are captured in the
attachmentsfield. - The actor uses polite crawling with a concurrency of 5 and rate-limit handling.
