# Ketabak Book Scraper

A lightweight and efficient Python web scraping tool designed to extract book information, details, and pricing data from the [Ketabak Book](https://ketabakbook.ps/) platform.

This project was built to collect structured data smoothly while keeping dependencies minimal and ensuring compatibility across different hardware architectures (including older or low-resource Linux systems).
