Comment on Show HN: Crawlee for Python – a web scraping and browser automation library

Comments

I found crawlee a few days ago while figuring out a stack for a project. I wanted a python library but found crawlee with typescript so much easier that I ended up coding the entire project in less than a week in Typescript+Crawlee+Playwright

I found the api a lot better than any python scraping api till date. However I am tempted to try out python with Crawlee.

The playwright integration with gotScraping makes the entire programming experience a breeze. My crawling and scraping involves all kinds of frontend rendered websites with a lot of modified XHR responses to be captured. And IT JUST WORKS!

Thanks a ton . I will definitely use the Apify platform to scale given the integration.

How does it compare to selenium for python?

would love to have your feedback on the python one too :)
