crawlee VS undetected-chromedriver

In this guide, we'll be extracting information from Amazon product pages using the power of TypeScript in combination with the Cheerio and Crawlee libraries. We'll explore how to retrieve and extract detailed product data such as titles, prices, image URLs, and more from Amazon's vast marketplace. We'll also discuss handling potential blocking issues that may arise during the scraping process.

Previously, the Apify SDK offered a blend of crawling functionalities and Actor building features. However, a recent update separated these functionalities into two distinct libraries: Crawlee and Apify SDK v3. Crawlee now houses the web scraping and crawling tools, while Apify SDK v3 focuses solely on features specific to building Actors for the Apify platform. This distinction allows for a clear separation of concerns and enhances the development experience for various use cases.

v3.1 added an error tracker for analyzing and summarizing failed requests.

Closest I found was https://crawlee.dev/ for Javascript/Typescript although still seems not on the level of scrapy. I didn't try it.

Also, you can go even further and develop your own web scraper with Crawlee, a Node.js library that helps you pass those challenges automatically using Puppeteer or Playwright. Crawlee helps you build reliable scrapers fast. Quickly scrape data, store it, and avoid getting blocked with headless browsers, smart proxy rotation, and auto-generated human-like headers and fingerprints.

https://crawlee.dev/ its very good, you can easily run your spiders in cloud with apify, and nodejs/puppeteer has many advantages than python/selenium

Apify is a platform for web scraping that helps the developer starting from the coding, having developed its open-source NodeJs library for web scraping called Crawlee. Then on their platform, you can run and monitor the scrapers and also finally sell your scrapers in their store.

You can use our open source tools (not only this one, but also Crawlee for example) to build your scrapers and run them on your computer, and then if you need to run them in the cloud, you can upload them to the Apify platform and run them there. Our free tier is good enough for smaller web scraping and automation projects, and if you need more compute resources or proxies, you can go for one of our paid tiers.

Comfortable scraping and crawling with Puppeteer is better done together with another library. This library is called Crawlee, and it's also free and open-source, just like Puppeteer. Crawlee wraps Puppeteer and grants access to all of Puppeteer's functionality, but also provides useful crawling and scraping tools like error handling, queue management, storages, proxies or fingerprints out of the box.

This command-line tool clicks ads for a certain query on Google/Bing search using undetected_chromedriver package. Supports proxy, running multiple simultaneous browsers, ad targeting/exclusion, and running in loop.

403 often means that the server recognized the scraper and blocked you. If you use Selenium, this plugin is very good for passing bot detection: https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver.

Ultrafunkamsterdam created a ChromeDriver that has excellent support for bypassing all major bot detection systems such as Distil, Datadome, Cloudflare, and others.

One solution would be to install Selenium and then scrape using a real browser like Chrome. If this solution gets blocked, you could install obfuscation plugins like this very good one: https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver

Undetected_ChromeDriver also works on Brave Browser and many other Chromium-based browsers. For more, you can check out this project on GitHub.
