How It Works
The scraper extracts data from inline JSON blobs embedded in World Population Review's Astro-rendered static pages. For ranking sub-pages that use server-rendered HTML tables, it falls back to table row parsing. No browser automation is needed — all data is extracted from the initial HTML response.
Tips
- Combine multiple page slugs in a single run for comprehensive demographic datasets
- Set
maxListingsto 0 to get all available records - For ranking topics, browse worldpopulationreview.com/categories to discover available slugs
- Growth rates are expressed as decimals (multiply by 100 for percentage)
