In this article, we'd like to share the current state of Playwright integration with Python and several helpful code snippets for understanding the code techniques.

HTML is a simple structured markup language and everyone who is going to write the web scraper should deal with HTML parsing. The goal of this article is to help you to find the right tool for HTML processing. We are not going to present libraries for more specific tasks, such as article extractors, product extractors, or web scrapers.

In this article, I’d like to list some most popular Javascript open-source projects that can be useful for web scraping. It consists of both libraries and standalone niche scrapers that can scrape a particular site (Amazon, iTunes, Instagram, Google Play, etc.)

In this article, we’d like to introduce an awesome open-source Web Scraping solution for running a pool of Chromium instances using Puppeteer.

In this article, I’d like to share a quick guide of how to run Playwright inside AWS Lambda. There are a bunch of similar guides about Puppeteer, but only a few are about the successor from Microsoft.

We’d like to continue the sequence of our posts about Top 5 Popular Libraries for Web Scraping in 2024 with a new programming language - JavaScript.

JS is a quite well-known language with a great spread and community support. It can be used for both client and server web scraping scripting that makes it pretty suitable for writing your scrapers and crawlers.

Most of these libraries' advantages can be received by web scraping API and some of these libraries can be used in stack with it.

So let’s check them out.

It is a well-known fact that Python is one of the most popular programming languages for data mining and Web Scraping. There are tons of libraries and niche scrapers around the community, but we’d like to share the 5 most popular of them.

Most of these libraries' advantages can be received by web scraping API and some of these libraries can be used in stack with it.

AngularJS is a quite common framework for building modern Single Page Applications, but what about the ability to scrape sites based on it? Let’s find out.

In the current article, I’d like to share my experience with Amazon products scraping. The well-known Amazon marketplace offers the best deals for thousands of product types and from thousands of sellers. The potential amount of data to scrape is quite insane and can be used for:

• Market price comparison
• Price change tracking
• Analyzing product reviews
• Copyright check
• Finding the best products for selling or dropshipping
• A lot of data science and machine learning stuff

Web scraping is extracting selected information from web pages into data you can use elsewhere. Instead of copying each product name and price by hand, a program can read the page, find those fields and save them as records.

The important boundary is what the page actually provides. A scraper processes the content it receives; it does not gain access to a website's private database. Below, an owned sample catalog becomes JSON, with a check that catches a missing price before incomplete data reaches the output.
