Reset Collection Cartridge Art
I previously used a scraper found here https://github.com/sselph/scraper to scrap from screenscraper.fr, but I haven't used it lately and it looks like the project is dead.

Is there a scraper in existence that uses file hashes instead of file names?
Thanks, I'm reading the source code now. It looks like the hash comparison is done against OpenVGDB, but I'm also curious how the images are fetched. Would you happen to know this by chance?

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.

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

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 (Puppeteer has a port called Pyppeteer, but it's no longer maintained and the author recommends using Playwright)
