I learned about Selenium and some of its capabilities. Managed to help a friend use it to code a review scraper in Python that exports the text to a CSV. It was incredibly interesting because we were getting errors at random parts of the scrape that we figured out were because of desync between script and browser. Luckily, Selenium has built-in functions to deal with these "expected conditions".

It's now our pet project and we plan on adding stuff like a GUI, different browser selection, CSV data treatment and whatever else we can think of :)
