You can use Selenium to do the same thing in a headless browser, no need for a desktop browser with a page open.

In which case you want to probably use their headless Docker containers. https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium

You can also use Puppeteer for this purpose (using headless Chrome) https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer

That's probably what he did though. I like Puppeteer more than Selenium FWIW, especially because Node.js allows you to prototype a lot quicker than other languages imo.
