Day 3 building ScrapeForge 🛠️

Today was focused on early technical validation.

I started working on the SERP scraper using Playwright. After some initial success, I ran into captchas, IP blacklisting, device fingerprinting, and other anti-bot mechanisms.

I experimented with making the scripts behave more like real users by adding delays and reusing contexts. While the scraper is not finished yet, the learnings were valuable.

This day reinforced how complex reliable scraping really is.
More progress coming soon.
