Hello guys, When trying this repository, I encounter the following error when using the following function from main.py :

Is it possible to run this program without AWS and instead use a local machine such as a pc or rasp pi?

I see you have no LICENSE file for this project. The default is copyright.

I would suggest releasing the code under the GPL-3.0-or-later or AGPL-3.0-or-later license so that others are encouraged to contribute changes back to your project.

Could you please update the installation process?

Some pre requirements would be great, such as Distribution and version we could use.
I still struggle with the installation for playwright.

Thanks!

When I run the pip install -r requirements.txt command I get the following error displayed in my terminal
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement playwright==1.29.1 ERROR: No matching distribution found for playwright==1.29.1

Hi,
so I've been making the occasional fix here and there trying to get this to work, however I can't seem to get past this hurdle.

im completely new to this and im having trouble with the second step. Should i be inserting this command through cmd?

I'm wondering if I can run it locally. Or maybe use Oracle cloud free tier

Hi, ty for the script however i'm runnning into an error. Does anyone know how to fix?
