"Need help building a Node JS website scraper – any tips or libraries you recommend?"
Hey folks! 👋
I'm trying to build a node js website scraper for a side project, but I'm kinda stuck. There are *so* many libraries out there—Cheerio, Puppeteer, Playwright—and I'm not sure which one’s best for my needs.
I need something that’s fast but can also handle JS-heavy sites. Any recommendations? Also, if you’ve got tips on handling errors or rate-limiting, that’d be awesome.
Oh, and if you’ve got a favorite tutorial or GitHub repo, drop a link!
Thanks in advance! 🚀

*PS: If you’ve built a node js website scraper before, how did you deal with CAPTCHAs? Ugh, those are the worst.*
