Day 2 Project: Web Scraping with Firecrawl

I've been curious about scraping, but have never done it previously, and this lesson did a great job of explaining how it works and how to use it within Claude Code.

It did not work perfectly on the first try. I hit a wall at one point, but that ended up being one of the most valuable parts of the exercise. Claude adjusted the approach and switched to using the website’s direct MCP to get the job done.

That was the real lesson for me today: the tool matters, but knowing how to troubleshoot and change direction matters even more.

This project gave me a clearer picture of how AI agents can collect, organize, and use live web data in practical ways.
