How to scrape data from a webpage with Puppeteer?

To scrape data from a webpage using Puppeteer, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Install Puppeteer by running the following command in your terminal:
npm install puppeteer
  1. Create a new JavaScript file and require Puppeteer at the top of the file:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
  1. Use Puppeteer to launch a new browser and open a new page:
(async () => { const browser = await puppeteer.launch(); const page = await browser.newPage(); // Enter the URL of the webpage you want to scrape await page.goto('https://example.com'); // Your scraping code goes here await browser.close(); })();
  1. Write code to scrape the desired data from the webpage. You can use Puppeteer's methods to interact with the page and extract the data you need. For example, to get the title of the webpage, you can use the following code:
const title = await page.title(); console.log(title);
  1. Run the JavaScript file in your terminal to start the scraping process:
node your-script.js
