Scrapy | A Fast and Powerful Scraping and Web Crawling Framework
Pricing:
- Open Source
Scrapy is an open-source Python-based web scraping framework that extracts data from websites. With Scrapy, you create spiders, which are autonomous scripts to download and process web content. The limitation of Scrapy is that it does not work very well with JavaScript rendered websites, as it was designed for static HTML pages. We will do a comparison later in the article about this.

puppeteer

Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control headless Chrome or Chromium...

In Crawlee, you can scrape JavaScript rendered websites using the built-in headless Puppeteer and Playwright browsers. It is important to note that, by default, Crawlee scrapes in headless mode. If you don't want headless, then just set headless: false.
