GPT4 Browsing Tool: Scraping Real-Time Data with Puppeteer and ChatGPT

The goal was to build a dataset GPT that operates like ChatGPT but scrapes the internet for information.

Dataset GPT can retrieve specific data from platforms like YouTube and Amazon.

The AI made progress by building a simple node.js application with the GPT4 API.

🔍 The video discusses the use of a web scraping tool called Bright Data to collect data from websites without relying on individual APIs.

⚙️ The tool, compatible with Node.js and Python, uses AI and Puppeteer/Playwright to mimic human behavior and bypass bot detection systems.

🌐 Bright Data's scraping browser provides a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for scalable web scraping, eliminating the need for building custom infrastructure.

📝 The transcription discusses using Puppeteer core and a scraping browser called Zone one to scrape data from books.describe.com.

💡 By combining code from different applications, the speaker was able to successfully scrape the title and price information.

❗ The challenge with creating a universal scraper is the need to create a new scraper for each website.

🔍 A data scraping browser can automate actions like handling new blocks and solving fingerprints to appear as a real user.

💻 The way Puppeteer works to navigate and scrape data varies based on the URL and the specific use case.

🔄 Instead of using GPT4, the speaker decided to use ChatGPT to translate code for each use case and scrape data from different websites.

The speaker initially wanted to connect GPT4 to the internet but ended up using ChatGPT for convenience.

The speaker refers to their code as a future-proof API that can gather data without relying on external APIs.

The speaker is open sourcing their code for Dataset GPT and book scraper, hoping others can contribute and build upon it.

💡 The video explains how to create credentials for the bright data scraper and set it up with a new proxy.

💡 The video discusses the steps to combine dataset GPT with the bright data scraper to access real-time data and scrape it.

💡 The video mentions the ability to create a Wiki or read me with the provided information and encourages testing the commands.

📺 GPT4 was trained to browse the internet before chatting.

👁️ The video talks about the importance of watching one of the GPT4 training instances.
