🔧 Technical Notes

Why Direct API Calls Instead of Cheerio/Puppeteer?

This scraper uses direct GraphQL API calls (fetch) instead of CheerioCrawler or PuppeteerCrawler because:

• ✅ Swapcard uses GraphQL API: Direct API access is more efficient than scraping HTML
• ✅ Faster performance: No need to render pages or parse HTML
• ✅ More reliable: API responses are structured and consistent
• ✅ Lower cost: No browser overhead, uses minimal resources
• ✅ Better data quality: Direct access to structured data without parsing errors

This approach is recommended for APIs and modern web applications that expose data via GraphQL or REST APIs.
