Puppeteer vs Selenium for SERP Scraping: Which Tool is Better for Your Needs?

22 Replies, 1382 Views

Selenium is more versatile, but puppeteer is way easier to use for SERP scraping. If you’re just scraping one browser, go with puppeteer.

CAPTCHAs are tricky, but using a headless browser with rotating IPs can help. Check out services like Luminati or GeoSurf for proxies.
Wow, thanks everyone for the insights! 🙌 I think I’m gonna give puppeteer a shot first since it sounds easier to set up and faster for SERP scraping.

Quick follow-up though: anyone have tips on handling CAPTCHAs without breaking the bank? I’ve heard some of these services can get pricey. Also, any free/cheap proxy recommendations?

Thanks again, y’all are the best! 😊
