    I've used PuppeteerSharp for web automation with great success. I understand that project is now Playwright-Sharp. I would highly recommend that over something like Selenium which is really more for testing.

    Using either Puppeteer or Playwright to scrape a web page is super simple. Both have their own .NET ported versions like Puppeteer Sharp and Playwright Sharp respectively. However, they don't work on Azure Functions, unfortunately. More precisely, they work on your local dev environment, not on Azure instance. This post would be useful for your node.js Azure Functions app, but it's not that helpful for your .NET application. Let me find a way for it to work on Azure Functions instance correctly.
