pyppeteer VS Playwright

The latest version of Pyppeteer, i.e., 1.0.2, can also be installed by executing pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/pyppeteer/pyppeteer@dev on the terminal.

Yes, this is scraping. You need a legit new cookie issued by the site. The solution is to automate the going to get the cookies part. The most straight forward way to do this is probably using a headless browser through something like Selenium or pyppeteer.

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.

In this tutorial, our main focus will be on Playwright web scraping. So what is Playwright? It’s a handy framework created by Microsoft. It's known for making web interactions more streamlined and works reliably with all the latest browsers like WebKit, Chromium, and Firefox. You can also run tests in headless or headed mode and emulate native mobile environments like Google Chrome for Android and Mobile Safari.

// playwright.config.ts import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test"; /** * See https://playwright.dev/docs/test-configuration. */ export default defineConfig({ testDir: "./src/pages", reporter: "list", use: { baseURL: "http://localhost:5432/", }, timeout: process.env.CI ? 10000 : 4000, // ... more options });
