Need help building a Node JS website scraper – any tips or libraries you recommend? or What’s the bes

Hey! For a node js website scraper, Puppeteer is my go-to for JS-heavy sites. It’s basically a headless browser, so it handles dynamic content like a champ.

Cheerio’s lighter but won’t execute JS, so if you’re scraping modern SPAs, Puppeteer’s the way.

For rate-limiting, check out `puppeteer-cluster`—helps parallelize tasks without getting blocked. CAPTCHAs? Ugh, try 2captcha API or just rotate proxies.

Here’s a solid tutorial: [Puppeteer Scraping Guide](https://example.com). Good luck!
