    What are the limitations of web scraping with headless browsers?

    Posted by Alby Adalberto on 10/30/2024 at 3:03 am

    Headless browsers like Selenium and Puppeteer consume more memory and are slower than simple HTTP requests.

    They can be detected by some anti-bot measures, which may still trigger CAPTCHAs or blocking.

    Headless browsers are great for JavaScript-heavy sites but overkill for simple static HTML pages.
