Session Handling

Session Handling

Session Handling is the process of managing user sessions during web scraping to maintain state and continuity. Websites often use sessions to keep track of user interactions, store preferences, and manage authentication. In web scraping, session handling involves maintaining cookies, session tokens, and other stateful data to ensure that requests are recognized as part of the same session. Proper session handling is crucial for scraping sites that require login or maintain user-specific data across multiple interactions. It helps in navigating through paginated content, submitting forms, and interacting with dynamic elements that depend on session state.
