Scraping

What is Headless Browser?

A real browser running without a visible UI, controlled by code.

A headless browser is a full browser engine (such as Chromium) running without a graphical interface, driven programmatically by tools like Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium. It executes JavaScript and renders dynamic pages exactly like a normal browser, which is essential for scraping single-page apps. Combined with residential proxies and stealth plugins, headless browsers can collect content that simple HTTP requests cannot.
