Struggles:

I had trouble saving the data into a csv file. I used the chromedriver and put it in the right path, however, jupyter notebook said that the chromedriver needed to be in the right path.

I struggled because I never had experience with web scraping. I did a lot of research on stack flow and youtube to solve my problems I met during the work.
