Is there a node / npm module which would scrape the contents of a web page or a given URL and execute and evaluate it's JavaScript as a real-life web browser, including XMLHttpRequest object and alike?

I thought that scraperjs was the solution, but sadly it isn't.

All help very appreciated!

• 3 PhantomJS? I think the term you may be looking for is a headless browser, of which Phantom JS is one. – James Hay Commented Oct 11, 2016 at 7:06

Headless browsers based on rendering engine:

• Chrome (blink) => Playwright or Puppeteer
• Firefox (gecko) => Playwright
• Safari (webkit) => Playwright

Puppeteer is the official automation tool for Chrome. It only supports Chrome/Chromium browsers, (with experimental support for Firefox).

Playwright is an alternative to Puppeteer, with support for more browsers, written by the original creators of puppeteer, who jumped ship from Google to Microsoft. It supports Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers

Previous versions of my answer, included PhantomJS, SlimerJS,CasperJS and Nightmare all of which are no longer maintaned. For modern browsers, just use one of the above
