Overview of Octoparse#
The Octoparse API allows you to automate the extraction of web data without coding, making it a powerful tool for data-driven workflows. With this API, you can control your scraping tasks, retrieve extracted data, and manage your account programmatically. When combined with Pipedream's serverless execution environment, you can build custom workflows to process, store, or act upon the data fetched by Octoparse. This integration can be a cornerstone for solutions in market research, competitor analysis, price monitoring, or lead generation.

Overview of Playwright#
Playwright is a Node.js library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome/Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Playwright runs in headless mode on Chromium on Pipedream.
Using Playwright you can perform tasks including:
- Capture Screenshots: Convert webpages into images.
- Processing PDFs: parse and scan PDFs.
- Web Scraping: Extract data from websites.
- UI/UX Testing: Verify user interface and experience.
- Integration with Test Frameworks: Combine with testing frameworks.
- Task Automation: Automate web-related tasks like form filling.
- Functional Testing: Automate user interactions to test web application functionality.
- Regression Testing: Ensure new code changes don't introduce bugs.
Connect Playwright#
import { playwright } from '@pipedream/browsers';
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
const browser = await playwright.launch();
// Interact with the web page programmatically
// See Playwright's Page documentation for available methods:
// https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://pipedream.com/');
const title = await page.title();
const content = await page.content();
// Close context and browser otherwise the step will hang
await page.context().close()
await browser.close();
return { title, content }
},
})
