🚀 Stop Writing Scrapers — I Built a Web Data Extractor API with Puppeteer (Full Code)

The author built a Web Data Extractor API using Node.js, Puppeteer, Axios, and Cheerio that extracts structured data (products, emails, articles) from any URL. It features a smart fallback mechanism that first attempts fast static scraping with Axios/Cheerio and automatically switches to headless browser scraping via Puppeteer for JavaScript-heavy sites. The API is available on RapidAPI with plans to add proxy rotation, CAPTCHA bypass, and LLM-based extraction.
