Web scraping is something I never thought I'd do. I'm primarily a UI developer, although my career started as a backend developer. I've never been asked at a job to perform any scraping tasks, and I'd never had a personal project that required me to scrape some data until recently. I'll share what I've learned, which is honestly probably just scratching the surface of what you can do with a technology like Puppeteer. In this post I'll walk you through installing and writing a Node.js script that will scrape a weather forecast website. The weather forecast site isn't my personal project that I mentioned earlier, it's more of a contrived example of how to get started with web scraping using Node.js and Puppeteer.

hmm...another option would be n8n (https://n8n.io/). comes as a docker container. there you can build your customized pipelines. setting up n8n + a job queue with a worker is less than an hour of work.

Hey u/cpBurn, Appsmith may work for your use case. We have a Version control with Git feature that lets you backup your app to GitHub or GitLab, create branches, add commit messages directly from the app editor when deploying, etc. And you can do code reviews in GitHub/GitLab once the app is connected.

crawlee
Crawlee—A web scraping and browser automation library for Node.js that helps you build reliable crawlers. Fast.
Project mention: Spidergram is a collection of tools my company Autogram has built or enabled over the past several years to support our work to automate content inventories for large websites: it's part web crawler, part domain model, and part mad science. We released the first public beta today. | reddit.com/r/webscraping | 2022-12-02Apify's Crawlee project, with a specific focus on Playwright. We decided to focus on it for now because the majority of our projects involve some kind of cross-browser evaluation for clients, and Playwright's ability to swap in Safari and Firefox rendering engines was a huge help.

Project mention: GraphQL error handling to the max with Typescript, codegen and fp-ts | dev.to | 2022-03-07
:::note When using remote APIs, we often have the possibility to generate the types automatically from a JSON schema for REST APIs, from protobuf files for gRPC-based APIs, from a database schema, etc. You might even be using an external API through an SDK that already provides you with all types. In such cases, the creation of specialized Error classes is not mandatory. However, it might still be a good idea to do so to provide application-specific errors rather than bubbling up 3rd-party low-level errors. For such cases, the upcoming Ecma TC39 proposal for Error Cause is useful as it allows to chain errors. Polyfills exist: Pony Cause or error-cause. :::

Project mention: vim-dirtytalk: spellcheck dictionary for programmers 📖 | reddit.com/r/vim | 2022-04-24
I have a repo where I auto-generate the SchemaStore catalog for Neovim. I use the EndBug/add-and-commit action to commit any changes. Maybe you could use a similar approach so that the wordlists in the repo are always kept up-to-date.

replay
Library that provides an API to replay and stringify recordings created using Chrome DevTools Recorder (by puppeteer)
You can start a recording, execute the steps you’d like to record in the app (such as typing or clicking), and export the recording as JSON file, Puppeteer script or @puppeteer/replay script.
-
In an ideal world, yes, but in reality Deno's permission model is quite hard to use so many libraries require disabling a lot of it, sometimes everything like puppeteer. Other example is the library I maintain: it requires --allow-net since you can't whitelist a domain and all its subdomains, just a domain.
