Reliability of Puppeteer #79

Nice work, I really appreciate this great tool. the issue is that will it be efficient to compete against bots that use API requests rather than headless browser like puppeteer ?

mnai01 commented 3 years ago

No, API bots will most likely always be faster

DexterTech111 commented 3 years ago

do puppeteer bots have a chance to compete against Requests bots?

mnai01 commented 3 years ago

It depends, puppeteer or (browser automated) bots are harder to detect but slower. Request bots are faster but require more to make them undetected. Browser automated bots can still work, just not at well.

:( its really a time consuming project but its worth it though, if the bot was written with node.js and hosted on an AWS cloud server , would that increase the number of browser instance it can handle at a time ?
