It would be very useful if this or some other library came with Captcha solvers or a way to add Captcha solvers to the scrapers. Even regular users get Captchas sometimes.
It looks like you can specify HTTP headers, so you should be able to use a captcha solving service with Crawlee.

#42Sweet that you went down the free route and made it an npm package, following the good way, by providing an optional upgrade to SaaS. Cool stuff. I could have used this dearly last time I scraped. Like others I used mixed methods (headless browser for renders and direct calls) and wrote a lot of error handling boilerplate.

#45I've been using the unmaintained node-osmosis lib for years, maybe it'll motivate me to finally move from it.

#48Looks great! Just wondering why it has a few scrapers built in - like puppeteer and cheerio. Is it because you might want headless only sometimes?

#49This looks really great. However, I can't find examples of how to handle scraping behind a login or a paywall, without having to 'type' credentials every time.
Is there a similar guide for Crawlee?
