This PR addresses an issue where the scraper would crash if a page title 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.

This PR fixes these issues by:

  • Using .get('') to safely retrieve the page title, providing a default empty string if the element is missing.
  • Using .strip() to remove leading/trailing whitespace from the extracted title.
  • Using page_title or None to explicitly set the title to None if it's missing or empty after stripping whitespace.

This ensures that missing titles are handled gracefully, prevents crashes, and improves the reliability and quality of the scraped data.
