Browser Mode

The Browser Mode controls the interaction with a headless Chromium browser. Enabling the browser mode allows flyscrape to download a Chromium browser once and use it to render JavaScript-heavy pages.

Browser Mode -

To enable Browser Mode, set the browser option to true in your configuration. This allows flyscrape to use a headless Chromium browser for rendering JavaScript during the scraping process.

Configuration
export const config = {
-    browser: true,
-};

-    
-  

-

In the above example, Browser Mode is enabled, allowing flyscrape to render pages that rely on JavaScript execution.

Headless Option -

The headless option, when combined with Browser Mode, controls whether the Chromium browser should run in headless mode or not. Headless mode means the browser operates without a graphical user interface, which can be useful for background processes.

Configuration
export const config = {
-    browser: true,
-    headless: false,
-};

-    
-  

-

In this example, the Chromium browser will run in non-headless mode. If you set headless to true, the browser will run without a visible GUI.

Configuration
export const config = {
-    browser: true,
-    headless: true,
-};

-    
-  

-

In this example, the Chromium browser will run in headless mode, suitable for scenarios where graphical rendering is unnecessary.
