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

Honestly, for a node js website scraper, it depends on the site. If it’s mostly static, Cheerio’s lightning fast. For dynamic stuff, Puppeteer or Playwright.

Error handling? Always log errors to a file and retry failed requests. For rate limits, space out your requests—`setTimeout` is your friend.

CAPTCHAs… yeah, good luck. Maybe try residential proxies?
