A shot-scraper-style JSON API on Bun 1.4's new Bun.WebView
Read OriginalThis article explores Bun 1.4's new experimental Bun.WebView feature, which enables browser automation directly in Bun core using macOS WebKit or Chrome DevTools Protocol. The author builds a ~150-line TypeScript server that offers endpoints like /javascript, /screenshot, and /healthz, returning page results and errors as JSON. It supports concurrency by creating one browser tab per request. The article discusses the release highlights of Bun 1.4, including the Rust rewrite and performance improvements, and provides insights into memory usage (192-256MB container) for running Chrome against complex pages. This is a technical tutorial and review relevant to IT/technology, specifically web development and browser automation.
