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 (Puppeteer has a port called Pyppeteer, but it's no longer maintained and the author recommends using Playwright)
- Can Requests be used to make a call to a js script? Need some guidance.
-
will requests-html library work as selenium
Last I checked, pyppeteer wasn't a thing anymore, and I haven't tried Playwright but if it has a headless mode, thats what you want so you don't have a browser open.

Toggle Line Comments in other languages?
there are cases where a file contains at least 2 programming languages . A case like this is when using the playwright-python library i.e. the code is mainly in python, but it can contain also JS code within a page.evaluate() function. When I try to comment out some lines within the page.evaluate() function, VS Code uses the "#" symbol, instead of "//". I can use multiple cursors to insert the "//"., but it's not so convenient, So I was wondering if there is a way to tell VS Code that this part of code is JS and it should use "//" for commenting out or if there is a plugin that can do this job (I didnt find one...)

NHL Daily - 10/12/22 (Wednesday)
doing some googling looks like this should basically be the python version https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python but I haven't used it so can't vouch for it.

Beautiful Soup: We called him Tortoise because he taught us
Playwright for Python has really good documentation: https://playwright.dev/python/
I used it for my https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/ tool, and wrote a bit about CLI-driven scraping using that tool here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Mar/14/scraping-web-pages-sho...

fi = fidelipy + rebalance
This is implemented with Playwright, a modern alternative to Selenium maintained by Microsoft and developers who formerly worked at Google on Puppeteer. I originally implemented it in Selenium but found that typing and button presses were inconsistent and failed too often. So far Playwright seems to be more reliable. For safety, the trading functions ask for manual confirmation (press enter) to place orders.

Web Scraping: Intercepting XHR Requests
As we saw in a previous blog post about blocking resources, headless browsers allow request and response inspection. We will use Playwright in python for the demo, but it can be done in Javascript or using Puppeteer.

Make your Azure OpenAI apps compliant with RBAC
We will be performing all of the authentication requests manually, however for testing purposes, you might want to use an API testing tool such as Postman or Insomnia.

Local automation
For a very long time, the go-to tool was curl. Great, always available command line tool. Unfortunately, there is one small issue. It’s hard to keep requests and collect them in collections, it’s great for one-time shots or debugging, but for constant working with API could be painful. To solve it, I started working with tools like Postman/Insomnia. Then eh... strange licensing model, or changes which occurred from Kong side click, definitely push me again for some lookup. After checking different very popular tools and those not such well known I decided to use… Ansible. Sounds strange right? Let me explain this decision. For example, look at this code.

Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer
At first, I used Postman for testing APIs because it had a lot of features. But I switched to Insomnia because it was easier to use and kept everything organized. The big problem with Insomnia was that it deleted all my saved work when it made me create an account to keep using it.

Different Levels of Project Documentation
Often used for cases where a project exposes a REST or other type of API service. Open API is a popular method of documenting such API services. It can also be used along side tools such as Swagger Codegen to produce boilerplate code for API interaction / testing purposes. There may also be support files for popular API testing tools such as Postman or Insomnia. This makes it easier at a glance to see what data is coming back from a call so the user knows how to handle parsing the data.

Web scraping in 10 mins
Well, there is this website that I have been trying to scrape for a few days now. I had tried everything from scrapy splash on docker to almost giving up because I read somewhere that it was JavaScript rendered. Since the source code from the inspect part of the developer tools was different from the source code from the view-source:https//... on the same developer tools.How could this be possible? Then I kept searching on internet and found this concept; where you can mimic web-browsers requests from a server using an API program,and it worked magically. Some of the API programs are postman and insomnia. I prefer using insomnia for this particular case , feel free to use any other API program of your choice.
