Got Scraping is an HTTP client built as an extension of the popular `got` library, specifically designed for web scraping tasks by making requests appear browser-like out of the box. It integrates features such as automatic browser-like header generation through the `header-generator` package, which allows for specifying desired browser, device, locale, and operating system profiles. It also simplifies proxy management, supporting HTTP and HTTPS proxies, including HTTP/2, and performs automatic ALPN negotiation for target servers. The package requires Node.js >=16 due to stability concerns with HTTP/2 in earlier versions. The current stable version is 4.2.1. However, as of its recent deprecation announcement, `got-scraping` is officially End-of-Life (EOL) and will no longer receive updates or support. For new projects, the maintainers strongly recommend migrating to `impit` (github.com/apify/impit), a modern, `fetch`-API-based HTTP client built on Rust's `reqwest` library, which offers a similar feature set and performance benefits.
