Comment on Show HN: Crawlee – Web scraping and browser automation library for Node.js

Comments

Sweet that you went down the free route and made it an npm package, following the good way, by providing an optional upgrade to SaaS. Cool stuff. I could have used this dearly last time I scraped. Like others I used mixed methods (headless browser for renders and direct calls) and wrote a lot of error handling boilerplate.

Thanks! We really love open source and wanted to give back to the community. Crawlee is built on top of other great open-source libraries and projects. It's the best thing about building software.
