  If you don't want to install another extension, Playwright has built in support for recording. npx playwright codegen wikipedia.org https://playwright.dev/docs/next/codegen https://playwright.dev/docs/next/codegen

  I'm not familiar with "playwright", it doesn't seem to be mentioned in OP either. When I google, I see it advertised as a "testing" tool. Can I also use it for scraping? Where would I learn more about doing so?

    Playwright is similar to Puppeteer, but can use different browsers not only Chrome.

    Playwright is essentially a headless chrome, firefox, and webkit browser with a nice API that's intended for automation/scraping. It's far more heavy than something like curl, but it has all the capabilities of any browser you want (not just chrome as with puppeteer) and makes stuff like interacting with javascript a breeze. It's similar to Google's puppeteer, but in my opinion even with chrome much more pleasant and productive. Microsoft's best developer tool IMO, saves me tons of time.
