What is SERP? Meaning, Use Cases and Approaches
While there is no specific library for SERP, there are some web scraping libraries that can do the Google Search Page Ranking. One of them which is quite famous is Scrapy - It is a fast high-level web crawling and web scraping framework, used to crawl websites and extract structured data from their pages. It offers rich developer community support and has been used by more than 50+ projects.

Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL
If you're looking for a turn-key solution, I'd have to dig a little. I generally write a scraper in python that dumps into a database or flat file (depending on number of records I'm hunting).
Scraping is a separate subject, but once you write one you can generally reuse relevant portions for many others. If you can get adept at a scraping framework like Scrapy you can do it fairly quickly, but there aren't many tools that work out of the box for every site you'll encounter.
Once you've written the spider, it's generally able to be rerun for updates unless the site code is dramatically altered. It really comes down to how brittle the spider is coded (i.e. hunting for specific heading sizes or fonts or something) instead of grabbing the underlying JSON/XHR that doesn't usually change frequently.

What do .NET devs use for web scraping these days?
I know this might not be a good answer, as it's not .NET, but we use https://scrapy.org/ (Python).

Automating Amazon Price Tracking with Python
The first step in automating Amazon price tracking with Python is to scrape the product pages of Amazon.com for the desired product. To do this, you can use a web scraping library like BeautifulSoup or Scrapy. In the following example, we will use BeautifulSoup to scrape the product page for a MacBook Pro on Amazon.com:

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 (Puppeteer has a port called Pyppeteer, but it's no longer maintained and the author recommends using Playwright)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

Playwright for Python has really good documentation: https://playwright.dev/python/

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.
