Hi Divine,
Just note that currently this approach only works on localhost with firebase serve, it would fail when you deploy it to the Cloud. In my observation, Firebase can't figure out where the binary browsers used for scraping are stored, therefore can't initialize the browsers. I am still finding a way to modify this behaviour. Do you have any ideas?

Hi Johnny,

I apologize for my late response.
What you said is true and I haven't figured out a way to make it run on firebase cloud. I will be glad to know if you've figured that out :).

Thank you for your patience.
