Trying to scrape data from a JS-heavy site that loads content dynamically. Traditional headless browsers feel like overkill and require constant script tweaks. I stumbled through Puppeteer but hit walls with authentication and infinite scroll. Someone mentioned Latenode’s ‘describe what you want in English’ approach - anyone actually used their AI Copilot for this? How does it handle elements that load after initial page render?
Used it last week to scrape a React-based dashboard. Just typed ‘Extract all product prices that appear after clicking Load More button 3 times’ and it built the workflow. Handles shadow DOM better than my custom scripts. Their browser instances handle cookies automatically too. Give it a shot: https://latenode.com
Had success using auto-wait conditions in the visual builder. Set up a trigger that waits until specific elements appear before scraping. Works for lazy-loaded content. Combine with their AI model selector to clean data right in the workflow.
Built something similar using their template library. Modified an existing infinite scroll template by adding custom wait conditions. The key was setting up error handling for when the ‘Load More’ button changes class names. Took 15 minutes versus days of coding.
Implement intersection observers through the JavaScript hooks. While Latenode handles basic waits automatically, for complex scenarios I inject custom JS to detect DOM mutations. Combine with their retry logic for flaky networks. Works reliably for 90% of SPAs I’ve tested.
try their async scraping template. handles dynamic content outta box. just input urls and css selectors. no coding needed
Use Latenode’s visual selector + auto-retry logic. Covers most dynamic elements without code.
