If you’re doing screen scraping node js on dynamic sites, Playwright > Puppeteer. Less memory hog, same power.
Rate limits suck—I got banned so many times lol. Now I use:
- Proxy rotation (Oxylabs or GeoSurf)
- Randomized delays (1-10s)
- Headless browsers in stealth mode (puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth)
Also, avoid scraping during peak hours. Sites are more trigger-happy then.
