We are launching Crawlee for Python, an open-source library for web scraping and browser automation. Quickly scrape data, store it, and avoid getting blocked, headless browsers, and smart proxy rotation.
Compared to competing libraries, Crawlee is easier to use, yet also more feature rich. In just like 20 lines of code, you can have a crawler set up and ready to go that uses proxy rotation, automatic session management, header generation, fingerprint generation, and request management. When building a crawler with Crawlee, you have more time to focus on the job at hand rather than reinventing the wheel and creating custom implementations for proxy-management or request-management etc.
A convenient tool. It allows you to quickly set up and start gathering information, even if you don't have much programming experience.
not that great onboarding. Weak examples and poor support in the discord channel. Almost no support I'd say.
I used Apify SDK for over 3 years in various projects, for evaluation created two actors under Crawlee, outcome is better since less resource consuming and it was easy and fun to learn and use.
