Question

How do I debug a broken scraping pipeline after an API deprecation

Answer 1

When an API layer breaks out , it is important to know which layer is actually changing, like the endpoint removed? auth flow changed? schema changed? rate limit changed ?

Frontend switched to a new API ?,old undocumented API disabled ?

A structured debugging process saves a huge amount of time .

Here is step by step guideline

1. Identify the exact failure point

2. Compare the old  and new responses

3. Inspect the browser network tab

4. Check whether the provider announced migration details 

5. Add structured logging everywhere 

6. Validate assumptions explicitly 

7. Detect the bot-protection pages 

8. Replace the scrapping with official API’s if possible 

Try fixing the problem by going through the steps mentioned above it has to work out ,hope this helps.
