# 🚀 Advanced Modular Scraper
A professional, modular Python web scraper designed for clean and efficient data extraction. This project focuses on maintainability and ease of use for developers and data enthusiasts.
---
## 🛠️ Features
- **Modular Architecture**: Clean separation between the scraping engine and the main execution flow.
- **Interactive CLI**: Dynamic user input for custom URLs directly from the terminal.
- **Data Persistence**: Automatically exports extracted data into structured **JSON** files for further analysis.
- **Error Handling**: Basic protection against common connection issues and timeouts.
---
## 📦 Project Structure
- `main.py`: The entry point that handles user interaction and the main loop.
- `src/scraper_logic.py`: The core engine containing the BeautifulSoup logic and data parsing functions.
- `requirements.txt`: Contains all necessary Python dependencies (Requests, BeautifulSoup4).
