Show HN: Python-cronet – a Python wrapper for Chromium's network library

1 pointsby zlagenabout 1 year ago
Hi HN!<p>After being frustrated to need to run headless chrome&#x2F;selenium in my small scale scrapers because of Cloudflare and Akamai performing TLS fingerprinting. I decided to create a python library to use chromium&#x27;s network library called cronet. If you don&#x27;t need to run javascript and are only affected by TLS fingerprinting, using this library should be more efficient than pupeteer&#x2F;headeless chrome.<p>The library was inspired by curl-impersonate(<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lwthiker&#x2F;curl-impersonate">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lwthiker&#x2F;curl-impersonate</a>) which solves something similar but by patching curl instead. I think the benefit of python-cronet is that it&#x27;s going to be simpler to keep it up to date.
