Handling Missing Page Titles in Web Scraping

[Sachin-NK]

The scraper assumed a page title always existed, leading to crashes if the title element was missing or contained only whitespace. The fix uses .get('') with .strip() and or None to handle missing or empty titles gracefully, preventing errors and improving data quality

Why this was a problem:

• Crashes: The IndexError could terminate the scraping process prematurely, preventing the spider from crawling other pages.
• Data Integrity: Incorrect or missing page_title information would affect the quality and usability of the scraped data. Downstream processes relying on this field might encounter errors or produce incorrect results.
