Architecture

Likee Scraper uses a two-phase extraction strategy for maximum speed and reliability:

1. Phase 1 — HTTP (CheerioCrawler): fast, lightweight extraction via plain HTTP requests. Parses JSON-LD structured data, __NEXT_DATA__ blobs, inline JSON, and meta tags directly from the HTML response. Handles 90%+ of videos without launching a browser.

2. Phase 2 — Browser fallback (PlaywrightCrawler): for videos that require JavaScript rendering, the scraper automatically retries with a full Chromium browser emulating a mobile device. This ensures data is extracted even from dynamically rendered pages.

This approach is 10–15x faster and uses significantly less compute than browser-only scraping.
