  • What are other options to selenium? Commented Dec 3, 2018 at 17:38

    I guess Requests would be the main python option. If you send the same exact requests that your browser sends, you will appear as a normal browser. Commented Dec 3, 2018 at 23:14
  • Actually you have to use selenium if the target website uses javascript for some things you need to access/do. Else, you should use request because is much faster. I think the thing is to find some other chromedriver/solution similar to selenium. I heard of phantomJS, I'll try. Commented Aug 11, 2021 at 15:43
  • @V-cash - these days I'm recommending python playwright, it's getting harder to spoof requests. Commented Aug 12, 2021 at 0:40
  • @pguardiario - Do you mean you use just python, without the requests module ? If that's correct how do you do that ? Commented Aug 25, 2021 at 15:43
