Hero is a headless web browser built specifically for web scraping, powered by Chrome and controlled from NodeJS with a fully compliant DOM API. It includes browser emulation and full-stack anti-detection features to avoid being blocked by fingerprinting.
Use cases
- scrape websites that block headless browsers
- extract data from javascript-heavy pages
- automate browser interactions without puppeteer evaluate callbacks
- emulate different browser fingerprints to avoid detection
- bypass TLS fingerprint blocking
- parse and query page DOM directly from nodejs
When to avoid
- you only need simple static HTML fetching
- you are doing automated UI testing rather than scraping
- you need a browser in a non-NodeJS language
