Re:How to crawl a quarter billion webpages in 40 hours (2012) on Thursday June 15, 2023 @11:09AM (#36341608)

I've always wondered why not to use request interceptors, get the html/json/xml/whatever url and then just call them.

If you need cookies/headers, you can always open the browser, log in and then make the same requests in the console, instead of waiting for the browser to load and scrape the UI (by xpath, etc.)

sounds weird going in circles: - SPA call some URL - SPA use the response data to populate the UI - You scrape the UI

instead of just calling the url inside the browser? am i missing something?
