Puppeteer is a browser automation library for JavaScript that uses the DevTools protocol to programmatically control Chromium or Chrome browsers. With more than 80K stars on GitHub, it is the de facto standard in headless browser automation. Puppeteer is written in TypeScript, which makes it easy to start with because of great code completion in IDEs.
Other libraries with similar functionality are Selenium, which is very popular outside the JavaScript world, and Playwright, a younger step-brother of Puppeteer.

Comfortable scraping and crawling with Puppeteer is better done together with another library. This library is called Crawlee, and it's also free and open-source, just like Puppeteer. Crawlee wraps Puppeteer and grants access to all of Puppeteer's functionality, but also provides useful crawling and scraping tools like error handling, queue management, storages, proxies or fingerprints out of the box.
