How to scrape Daily Mail

# Scrape Daily Mail search and listing pages with the Ujeebu Scrape API.
# Calls the recipe dailymail: the API applies its extract rules and validated settings (validated 2026-11-01). Send extract_rules or any setting to override them.
# Uses the official SDK ujeebu-python 0.1.5: pip install ujeebu-python==0.1.5
