• Scrapy Vs. Crawlee

  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.

Or whip up your own solution by using something like OpenCV to check things on the screen and whatever language you're using to send inputs. In any case... Source: 7 months ago

• Am i the only one thinking that desktop application automation is a bad idea

• Can godot be used for projects which affect your computer?
