#playwright with #python | automate web browsers | #scraping

#Playwright help speed up processes by opening the web application in a browser and other user interactions such as clicking elements, typing text, and, of course, extracting public data from the web.

This sample code explains everything about Playwright and how it can be used for automation and even web #scraping.

Helium is an open source framework for web-based automation. Its full name is #selenium #Python #helium. As can be seen from its name, helium seems to be closely related to selenium.

Currently, helium only supports chrome and Firefox. I have made specifying web #automation cases by using helium as simple as describing them to someone looking as well as scraping utility by using with #requests_HTML to get results.

Most of them followed Selenium based code in helium; whereas can simplified then selenium. I have written very basic and not applied any complex code/beautify the same.

I am usually using ad data scraping for the data #analytics; The main purpose of helium is scraping, capture data which is based on JS based sites and more on that.

#Playwright vs #Helium:
When you minimize windows can run scripts as usual; where as playwright doesn't behave like helium, it causes timeout error.

Same code tried with #Chromium; it could not find "Place Order" Button and leads error. For WebKit, more then 10-20 secs then #Firefox. As to my knowledge, stick with one browser for an entire project and choose prior then after.

For the current time period; keep one changes in #SYNTEX; to update the code same, it causes re-work and time delay for the project. But, it makes more faster then earlier.

As #Data #scientist|#Analyst for working data scraping; thumb rule is made as simple code to get data and work further to report. Hence, both playwright and helium are different ground; have to choose based on requirements.

As #Test #Manager; I would opt helium as of now; who have good knowledge with selenium. Otherwise, start with Playwright and python, create an endeavor in your #work #space. Its create a lot of options to play with code your #project and make fun while working.
