Login and Scrape Data with Playwright and Python

Selenium no more.. Playwright is an easy to use, powerful, convenient and modern approach to browser automation. It works very well with Python giving us access to control our browser with code.

Hi John. Just wanted to say thank you and please keep making these videos. I have been studying Data Analytics online and just got a job offer for analytics position.

After seeing many videos and trials to do web scraping on secured websites, this has finally brought the solution. Thank you so much!

I've succesfully set up a project scraping data from betting sites to find arbitrage opportunities - mainly via hidden API's.
But some pesky websites seem to restrict their APIs - hoping to solve this with playwright :).
