That looks great - I need to give it a try in my free time. Bot protections are obviously the biggest pain point and make these kind of autmations less reliable. We’re facing the same issues at monity.ai, and it requires constant work on improvements. Currently, we use headful Camoufox + residential proxies (cheap or more robust depending on the plan), and the results are pretty good.
