Questions & answers

What is headless browser scraping?

“Headless browser web scraping is a method of extracting data from websites using a browser that runs without a visible user interface. This approach is widely used for automated web scraping and data scraping tasks that require a standard web browser environment.”

What is Oxylabs' Agent Browser?

“Oxylabs’ Agent Browser is a remote browsing solution with built-in browser automation features and proxy integration. Unlike regular headless browsers, it’s pre-patched for access optimization, hosted on our infrastructure, requires no setup, and leverages our 175M+ Residential Proxy network. Our Headless Browser supports scalable automation via Chromium and tools like Puppeteer or AI systems.”

When should I use a headless browser?

“A headless browser is a perfect solution for web scraping projects that require browser scalability, reliable access, and browser automation. We recommend using headless browser scraper for sites with dynamic content or heavy JavaScript, but for simple, static sites, traditional HTML scraping is more efficient.”

What are datacenter proxies?

“Like many other proxy types, a datacenter proxy server is an entry point between a gadget accessing the internet and the website it’s trying to access. When accessing the internet, the IP address belonging to the device gets temporarily replaced by an IP address leased from a data center.”
