TypeScript web scraping templates

Choose from multiple web scraping templates to quickly build web scrapers in TypeScript

TypeScript templates

Start with TypeScript

Scrape single page with provided URL with Axios and extract data from page's HTML with Cheerio.

Starter
Crawlee + Cheerio

A scraper example that uses Cheerio to parse HTML. It's fast, but it can't run the website's JavaScript or pass JS anti-scraping challenges.

Crawlee + Puppeteer + Chrome

Example of a Puppeteer and headless Chrome web scraper. Headless browsers render JavaScript and are harder to block, but they're slower than plain HTTP.

Crawlee + Playwright + Chrome

Web scraper example with Crawlee, Playwright and headless Chrome. Playwright is more modern, user-friendly and harder to block than Puppeteer.

Crawlee + Playwright + Camoufox

Web scraper example with Crawlee, Playwright and headless Camoufox. Camoufox is a custom stealthy fork of Firefox. Try this template if you're facing anti-scraping challenges.

Playwright + Chrome Test Runner

Example of using the Playwright Test project to run automated website tests in the cloud and display their results. Usable as an API.
