If you're doing a lot of web automation, I'd highly recommend upgrading to Playwright: it's a lot better (Cypress is pretty good/popular too, but I prefer Playwright as Cypress has these weird non-promise promise things that drive me nuts).

Scraping a website is a bad idea and should be used only as a last resort. Any changes to the website can break it. It's not that it's complicated but an approved and stable way to do it by the website is obviously better.
