"What's the best way to handle screen scraping in Node.js for dynamic websites?"
Hey folks! 👋 So I've been diving into screen scraping node js for a project, and man, dynamic sites are a pain. They load content with JS, so basic HTTP requests don't cut it.
I've tried Puppeteer—works great but feels heavy. Cheerio's faster, but only if the data's static. Any pro tips here?
Also, how do y'all handle rate limits? Got blocked twice already 😅. Rotating proxies? Delays?
Oh, and is there a lighter alternative to Puppeteer for screen scraping node js? Playwright? Something else?
Thanks in advance! 🙏
