Solution
At the very beginning, the functionality of the parser was defined. That is, choosing a category for parsing and a result file format.
While doing the work, to make this parser easier to maintain, it was divided into two informal parts. The first collects and saves all data from Yahoo, and the second parses it and saves the result.
It was decided to store the results in data/results/
And all intermediate results are in data/tools/
