    I've enjoyed PhantomJS/CasperJS but the project is essentially dead now, I know a ton of people use Selenium, and headless chrome is becoming a popular solution.

    Sites not using JS : Requests + BeautifulSoup

    if site using JS add :
    - Chromedriver + Selenium
    - Scrapy Splash (one beautiful piece of work)

    Or use scrapy, a crappy lib but okay

    When there are counter measures, you often need to run your script through a proxy to change up your IP address or you'll just get blocked.
