Browser Automation

Browser Automation

Browser Automation is the process of programmatically controlling a web browser. This involves simulating user actions like clicking buttons, filling out forms, navigating between pages, and extracting content. Tools like Selenium, Puppeteer, and Playwright provide APIs for controlling browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Browser automation is particularly useful for scraping dynamic websites that generate content through JavaScript and require user interactions to display the data. By automating these actions, developers can scrape content that is otherwise difficult to access through traditional HTTP requests alone. Browser automation is also widely used for automated testing, ensuring web applications function correctly across different browsers and environments.
