Hey everyone!
I’m super pumped to share that we’ve just launched a private beta for our new headless browser setup. It’s built to work with playwright and it’s perfect for AI tools and apps. 
We’ve already gotten some great feedback from top devs, but now we want to hear from you! Here’s why our new platform is awesome:
-
Data Scraping Made Easy 
Grab info from tricky websites without breaking a sweat.
-
Better Testing 
Make sure your web stuff works on all browsers without the boring manual checks.
-
Automate Everything 
Let the computer do the boring stuff like filling out forms.
-
Make PDFs and Screenshots 
Turn web pages into PDFs or pics automatically.
Want to try it out? Let me know and I’ll help you get started! Can’t wait to hear what you think about it. 
def fetch_information(link):
browser_instance = start_headless_browser()
active_page = browser_instance.create_page()
active_page.open(link)
elements = active_page.find_elements('.data-class')
return [element.get_text() for element in elements]
data_results = fetch_information('https://sample.com')
print(f'Retrieved {len(data_results)} entries')
I’ve been experimenting with headless browsers for a while now, and your new setup sounds promising. The integration with Playwright is definitely a smart move. One thing I’m particularly interested in is how it handles rate limiting and CAPTCHAs. I’ve run into issues with these on some of the more protective sites I’ve tried to scrape. Does your solution have any built-in features to deal with these challenges?
Also, I’m curious about the resource usage. How does it compare to other headless browser solutions in terms of memory and CPU consumption? This can be a big factor when running multiple instances for large-scale scraping operations.
If you’re still looking for beta testers, I’d be keen to put it through its paces and provide some detailed feedback. I’ve got a few projects where this could be really useful.
wow this sounds awesome! i’ve been looking for something like this for my AI projects. how’s the speed compared to other headless browsers? and do you have any plans to add support for handling javascript-heavy sites? count me in for the beta, can’t wait to try it out!
I’ve been using headless browsers for a while, and this new setup sounds intriguing. The integration with Playwright is a smart move - it’s become quite popular lately. One thing I’m curious about is how it handles dynamic content. Many sites I work with use lazy loading and infinite scrolling. Does your solution have any special features for dealing with these? Also, have you considered adding support for browser extensions? That could be a game-changer for certain automation tasks. If you’re still looking for beta testers, I’d be interested in giving it a spin and providing some detailed feedback.
