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

20 Replies, 1727 Views

Puppeteer is amazing for automating Chrome/Chromium, but it’s not always necessary. If you’re just scraping static content, BeautifulSoup or Cheerio might be simpler. But for anything involving JS or complex interactions, Puppeteer is the best.

Debugging headless mode can be tricky, but using `dumpio: true` and `headless: false` during development makes it way easier. Also, check out the Puppeteer docs—they’re super detailed and have great examples.
