Should Puppeteer Be Your Go-To Tool for Web Scraping and Automation?

20 Replies, 1995 Views

Puppeteer is great, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. If you’re just scraping a few pages, BeautifulSoup or even plain requests might be faster. But for anything dynamic, Puppeteer is the way to go.

Debugging headless mode can be frustrating, but using `devtools: true` in your launch options lets you inspect the page like you would in a regular browser. Also, check out the Puppeteer GitHub repo—there’s a ton of helpful issues and discussions there.
