The Hidden Headaches of Modern Web Scraping
If you've ever tried to scrape data from a modern, JavaScript-heavy website, you know the drill. Simple HTTP requests with cURL or Python's Requests library just don't cut it anymore. The data you need is rendered client-side, hidden behind button clicks, or loaded asynchronously after you scroll. The solution? A headless browser, like Chromium, automated with a library like Playwright or Puppeteer.
It sounds great in theory. In practice, building and maintaining your own headless browser infrastructure is a journey into a world of pain.
