Playwright Scraper

Scraper and crawler built with Playwright and Cheerio

Versions and Differences

BFS version The BFS version uses the Breadth-First Search Approach To ensure the crawler explores all pages more thoroughly the crawler processes all immediate links (siblings) at the current depth level before moving on to deeper levels.

Scrape Everything This pretty much lets the crawler to go wild (can't recommend)

Scrape Domain Scope only Scrapes within the domain scope (worse BFS version as this goes in a straight line and doesn't scan everything)
