stealth / extra puppeteer packages outdated #7

Closed krthush closed 6 months ago

krthush commented 6 months ago

The project heavily relies on the following packages: https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-extra https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealthx

To bypass certain sites and scrape their preview image, unfortunatly it seems these packages are a bit outdated / not maintained properly, so need to improve this project by finding alternative methods.

A good alternative option, might be to use BrightData's Scraping Browser API with our current puppeteer code: https://brightdata.com/products/scraping-browser
