Hello everybody. I am quite a begginer when it comes to python specifically. I would love if someone would help me setup (tell me exactly what to do to adapt TIM's code). I would prefer not using Bright Data as that's paid, and instead use puppeteer or other alternatives.

Yeah, a little

I have the code, I am able to run a local host and everything
I am unexperienced with python and chatGPT doesn't help :)).

that's prob not an installation problem.
can you be a bit more specific about the problem you're having?

The thing is that video promotes this browser "Bright-Data" which I cannot afford long term. That's no big deal, but I am trying to scrape data normally
I am not sure how to navigate and adapt that code. It's definetely possible without the solution "Bright Data", he said it, but I really not familiar with python so I struggle on the backend.
This is the page I think we should look at
and adapt it for playwright only (which I don't know much about)
Do you have any ideas, any directions Neil?

I'm not getting the whole thing.
Because you said that you are able to run a local host, I don't see what problems you are having.
but I'm assuming that Tim uses Bright-Data so the python code has Bright-Data api but you want to manually use your data right?
so first, you gotta know what format of data Tim is using, and then you remake it.
