rust-headless-chrome VS crates.io

I'm using this to fill forms interactively and emulate a user. https://github.com/rust-headless-chrome/rust-headless-chrome

Afaict, it drives a stock Chromium instance. I'm not sure how Fidelity is detecting it, but they detect it even in normal headful mode. Idk if there's some JS that notices there's no mouse-move movements.

It's just not worth the headache. I despise bending over backwards for companies like this. But obviously I have no choice since they're my 401k plan facilitator.

Thanks, I was looking into that as well and got their example up and running. I also saw that chromiumoxide mentions rust-headless-chrome in its references section in the README, which is also updated recently, any differences between the two? Seems like chromiumoxide is async with code gen whereas rust-headless-chrome is not, is that right?

mdBook allows you to create book from markdown files. It's pretty much alike Gitbook but implemented in Rust. However, unlike Gitbook that supports using calibre for generating PDF, for a long time, mdBook doesn't support generating PDF files natively, and supporting that is also not in their roadmap. Existing plugins (backends) such as mdbook-latex that utilize Tectonic as well as pandoc solutions will generate a PDF page that doesn't unify with the existing mdBook generated HTML version. Considering these facts, I created a mdBook backend named mdbook-pdf for generating PDF based on headless chrome and Chrome DevTools Protocol Page.printToPDF.

There's https://github.com/stevepryde/thirtyfour for Selenium, and https://github.com/atroche/rust-headless-chrome for Chromium.

I published headless-chrome a few years ago, but I haven't cut a new release in almost two years now — despite the issues and pull requests piling up. I'm not relying on it for my work like I was previously, and I just don't have the spare energy to be a good maintainer.

Rust has a rich ecosystem of frameworks and libraries that let you read, parse, and manipulate text files, interact with cloud services and databases, and perform any other job that your project's development workflow may require. And because of its strong typing and tight memory management, you are much less likely to write programs that behave unexpectedly in production.

All the code discussed in this article can be accessed through this repository. For integration with existing projects consider using keyword_extraction crate available on crates.io.

So, be sure to double-check your critical libraries and be sure their alternatives exist in the Rust ecosystem. There’s a good chance the crates you need are available in Rust's crates.io repository.

The previous section was very simple, this section is also very simple but introduces us to cargo which is Rust's package manager, as a JS dev my mind goes straight to NPM.

Now, there has to be a place where all these packages come from. Similar to npmjs registry, where all node packages are registered, stored and retrieved, Rust also has something called crates.io where many helpful packages and dependencies are registered.

Before proceeding, let's check https://crates.io/, the official Rust package registry.

The most thrilling aspect has been the joy of writing the backend. It's like every struct, enum, and method in Rust forms this interconnected Multiverse of code , which you can see in crates.io which is best Documentation experience I Ever Had.

5. Crates.io

When using crates from eg. crates.io, and also things like std and core

Vendoring your packages was very tedious to even remotely get to work with Cargo. I spent a very long time getting Cargo to work together with cargo-local-registry. We vendor crates from crates.io and a custom internal registry.
