How Scraping Browser outperforms Headless Browsers
When selecting an automated browser, developers should be aware of the differences between a headless browser and a “headfull”/GUI browser. A headless browser is a web browser without a graphical user interface. While headless browsers are often used with proxies for data scraping, these browsers are easily detected by bot-protection software, making data scraping difficult on a large scale.
Scraping Browser is far superior to headless browsers for scaling data scraping projects & bypassing blocks
Scraping Browser is a GUI browser (aka “headfull” browser) that uses a graphic user interface, and is controlled by Puppeteer or Playwright API. A GUI browser is less likely to be picked up by bot detection software. Scraping Browser also has built-in website unlocking functions that handle blocks for you automatically. Because Scraping Browsers are opened on Bright Data’s servers, these automated browsers are ideal for scaling web data scraping projects, as you can open as many Scraping Browsers as you need without an expansive in-house infrastructure.
FAQ
Scraping Browser works like other automated browsers and is controlled by common high-level APIs like Puppeteer and Playwright, but is the only browser with built-in website unblocking capabilities. Scraping Browser automatically manages all website unlocking operations under the hood, including: CAPTCHA solving, browser fingerprinting, automatic retries, selecting headers, cookies, & Javascript rendering, and more, so you can save time and resources.
When data scraping, developers use automated browsers when JavaScript rendering of a page or interactions with a website are needed (hovering, changing pages, clicking, screenshots, etc.). In addition, browsers are useful for large-scaling data scraping projects when multiple pages are targeted at once.
Scraping Browser is a GUI browser (aka “headfull” browser) that uses a graphic user interface. However, a developer will experience Scraping Browser as headless, interacting with the browser through an API like Puppeteer or Playwright. Scraping Browser, however, is opened as a GUI Browser on Bright Data’s infrastructure.
