To scrape data from Taobao or Tmall, you can use Python and the following steps:

Make sure you have Python installed on your system. You will need to install two libraries: requests and beautifulsoup4. You can install them using the pip command.

Use the requests library to send an HTTP GET request to the Taobao webpage you want to scrape.

Create a BeautifulSoup object by passing the HTML content from the response https://www.iwebdatascraping.com/scrape-amazon-product-data.php https://www.iwebdatascraping.com/web-scraping-services.php https://www.iwebdatascraping.com/mobile-apps-data-scraping.php

Inspect the webpage to identify the HTML structure of the data you want to scrape. It will help you locate the relevant HTML elements and their attributes.

Use the BeautifulSoup method to extract the desired data from the HTML structure.

Depending on your requirements, you may need to navigate through multiple pages or handle pagination.

You can store the scraped data in a file, or a database per your needs.
