What's the best way to handle screen scraping in Node.js for dynamic websites? or How reliable is scr

For dynamic sites, you gotta go headless. Puppeteer’s heavy, but it works. Playwright’s another option—similar API, but more optimized.

Rate limits? Proxies + delays. Free ones are risky, so invest in a good proxy service. Also, set `user-agent` rotation—some sites block default Puppeteer ones.

If you’re scraping a ton, maybe look into Scrapy + Splash (not Node, but just saying).
