Infinite scrolling is a popular technique used on many websites to load and display content dynamically as the user scrolls down the page. Handling infinite scrolling in web scraping requires special techniques to capture and extract the dynamically loaded data. In this lesson, we will explore how to handle infinite scrolling effectively using Puppeteer.
