What’s the hardest part of web scraping in production today?

I m curious for teams running scraping or data extraction in production, what breaks the most?

Is it:

  • JS-heavy websites?

  • Frequent DOM changes?

  • Anti-bot protection?

  • LLM cost & hallucinations?

  • Keeping extracted data consistent over time?

I m building LucidExtractor after facing many of these issues myself, and I d love to learn how others are handling this in the real world.
