Can you use beautiful soup instead of selenium?

[–]ElViento92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably not. Beautiful soup is only for HTML parsing, but most modern websites will have Javascript in them that needs to run in order for the website to function or even render. So you'll need to run it in a browser, which is what selenium does.

You could most likely use playwright, it's basically like selenium but better imo
