What Hacker News says?
Apologies for the shameless self-promotion here but it was this very problem that I built puppeteer-heap-snapshot. It decouples the HTML from the scraper and instead we inspect the booted app’s memory. Not near as performant but a lot more reliable. I wrote about it here: https://www.adriancooney.ie/blog/web-scraping-via-javascript...

HN discussionOn the topic of JSON and whatnot that reminded me of this awesome post[1] about looking within heap snapshots for entire data structures where they may have a lot of nicely structured data within it not readily available from more direct URL calls.
