"Headless Chrome for web scraping—any tips or gotchas to watch out for?"
Hey folks!
I've been tinkering with headless chrome for scraping lately, and it's *mostly* smooth, but ran into a few hiccups.
Like, sometimes pages load weirdly without a GUI, or random timeouts creep in. Anyone else deal with this?
Also, what’s your goto for handling dynamic content? Puppeteer? Playwright? Or just raw CDP calls?
And uh... how do y'all avoid getting blocked? Rotating user-agents, proxies, or something else?
Kinda curious if there’s a "best practice" setup or if it’s just trial and error.
Thanks in advance!
(Ps. If you’ve got a favorite headless chrome config snippet, pls share!)
