How to scrape TikTok using Python
TikTok uses quite a lot of JavaScript on its site, both for displaying content and for analyzing user behavior, including detecting and blocking crawlers. Therefore, for crawling TikTok, we'll use a headless browser with Playwright.

Google and Anthropic are working on AI agents - so I made an open source alternative
Integrating Ollama, Microsoft vision models and Playwright I've made a simple agent that can browse websites and data to answer your query.

Ask HN: How to remove Ads from a downloaded HTML file to output an ad free file?
Do you have to use Curl? It wouldn't render a lot of sites correctly anyway (anything that uses JS for rendering).
Can you run a puppeteer/playwright instance and add an ad blocker to that? e.g. https://github.com/ghostery/adblocker or https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python/issues/782

Login for web-scraping help
An alternative is to use a package like playwright (or Selenium) to run a browser remotely and login.

Show HN: Use cookies from Chrome (CDP) in cURL without copy pasting
Using the tools at hand is often the best approach. That said, I've spent most of the last 13 years of my career automating browsers. For years, I used Selenium with a variety of libraries. After switching to Puppeteer/Playwright, I have zero interest in going back lol. Playwright actually has first party Python support. (Puppeteer has a port called Pyppeteer, but it's no longer maintained and the author recommends using Playwright)

I can't find any good Python Selenium tutorials out there. Anyone got any good links to video tutorials or even dcoumentatniton?

Elixir for Cynical Curmudgeons
You're correct.
It says at the bottom: powered by https://github.com/jgm/gitit
Readme states that: "Gitit is a wiki program written in Haskell. It uses Happstack for the web server and pandoc for markup processing."

Looking for a simple wiki (web, not desktop) that stores backend as markdown files?
I’ve used the Gitit Wiki. Database is plaintext markdown files under git source control. Renders with pandoc so you get a really good dialect of markdown. The look and feel is a little dated but 8/10 highly recommend.

Looking for private wiki software on internet
I don't use gitit, but I've had people advocate it to me: https://github.com/jgm/gitit
- Wiki engine using Pandoc and Git
- Is there an open source and deployable collaborative markdown editor with version control (maybe git?)

Snippet Box - selfhosted and open source code snippet manager with built-in support for Markdown documentation
Instead of SQLite I would prefer if you stored the snippets in a git repo like Gollum or Gitit.

Archivy - Extensible Self Hosted Knowledge Base - v1 release
I use my own forked version of gitit (dark, full-width theme, with automated toc and some other tweaks) for the last 5 years or so which looks and functions quite similarly. I handled web bookmarking/clipping with xclip (rich text clipboard) + pandoc html-to-markdown.
