  • puppeteer

    Node.js API for Chrome

  • Puppeteer is a JavaScript library that allows you to control web browsers like Chrome for web scraping. Puppeteer enables us to script and monitor tasks such as navigating to a specific webpage and extracting the data we need. It's the ideal tool for web scraping because, being a web browser, it can overcome any potential obstacles, such as in the case of websites that require the execution of JavaScript to function or display data.
