About:
Woob is a set of libraries and tools designed to scrape and interact with websites without a traditional web browser.

  • Python API for easy integration and scripting
Use Cases:
  • Automating data extraction from banking or e-commerce sites
  • Integrating web services into internal applications
  • Building custom scrapers for data aggregation
Alternatives:
  • Selenium – Browser-based automation, heavier resource usage
  • Scrapy – General-purpose web crawling framework, less focused on interactive form handling
