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

20 Replies, 1720 Views

Puppeteer is a great tool, but it’s not always the best choice. If you’re just scraping static pages, BeautifulSoup or Cheerio 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.
