Has Anyone Successfully Built a Reliable Coupon Codescraper? Tips and Tools Needed!

Hey! I’ve been working on a coupon codescraper too, and it’s been a rollercoaster. Selenium is good, but it’s so resource-heavy.

I’ve been experimenting with Playwright, and it’s been a lot smoother. Plus, it has built-in support for handling CAPTCHAs, which is a huge plus.

For proxies, I’d recommend using a service like Oxylabs. It’s pricey, but worth it if you’re scraping at scale.

Hey! I’ve been using a combo of Python and Scrapy for my coupon codescraper, and it’s been working pretty well.

One thing that helped me a lot was using a headless browser for dynamic content. I’ve been using Playwright, and it’s been way more reliable than Selenium.

Also, make sure to handle rate limiting properly. Some sites will block you if you send too many requests too quickly.
