ZenRows plus BeautifulSoup: let ZenRows render and interact, parse the returned HTML locally
You do not have to pick between ZenRows and BeautifulSoup - they compose nicely.
You do not have to pick between ZenRows and BeautifulSoup - they compose nicely. Let ZenRows do the heavy lifting: jsrender true plus jsinstructions for interactions (click, wait, fill, wait_for) executes everything on their side, and the returned HTML is the fully rendered DOM, which you hand straight to BeautifulSoup. Best of both: ZenRows handles the anti-bot and JS execution, BeautifulSoup handles the parsing with the selectors you already know.
Context: Stack Overflow (Adding BeautifulSoup to ZenRows, accepted answer): ZenRows returns the rendered HTML which you can feed straight into BeautifulSoup - response.html then BeautifulSoup parsing works on the full JS-rendered DOM. The useful part is combining it with ZenRows' jsinstructions param (click, wait, fill, waitfor) so interactions happen server-side before extraction, then parse the result locally with BeautifulSoup selectors instead of ZenRows' own extraction.
