In this C# tutorial, we show you how to build a robust and scalable C# web scraper using the .NET framework. While libraries in other languages are popular, web scraping in C# delivers comparable performance with the benefit of type safety for complex projects.
This video is a C# web scraping guide for beginners where you will learn how to set up your environment in VS Code and use HtmlAgilityPack for parsing data. We guide you through the process of web scraping C#, covering everything from project initialization to advanced techniques like mimicking real browsers with HTTP headers. You will learn how to investigate the underlying structure of a website using DevTools to identify specific class attributes like product titles and prices.
We explain how to load HTML into an HtmlDocument, use XPath selectors to find elements, and iterate over scraped items to store them as C# records. To handle larger scales, we demonstrate utilizing Oxylabs residential proxies for rotating IP addresses and managing 429 error codes with retries. 
By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to save your data into a CSV file using CsvHelper. We also provide essential tips to make your scraping journey ethical and efficient, including respecting robots.txt, keeping request delays, and using caching to minimize server load.
