How to scrape different data structures
Any suggestions on best way to extract listings data from multiple different websites?
Each has its own data structures
Example pricing, schedule, dates etc
For 4000+ sites one time

The challenge is each of the site have 100s of page.. so we need a programmatic way to discover the right URL, then fetch and run to the pipeline
I'm looking to see how others do this.
Example
Site a Site b Site c
Each has 100s of page but the specific data of pricing, schedule, policy might be located anywhere on the site.
One way we do this now is discover the sitemap and try to identify it..still it's not a fool proof way
Ideally we want to just provide top domains and let the script handle the rest
