Scrapers break often because sites change.

You must know how to debug.

## Check status code
```python
res = requests.get(url)
print(res.status_code)
```

## Print partial HTML
```python
print(res.text[:500])
```

## Save page for inspection
```python
with open("page.html", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    f.write(res.text)
```

Open it in browser and inspect.

## Debug flow
```mermaid

```

## Remember
- Websites change
- Debugging is part of scraping
