How It Works

1. Opens 9GAG in a real Chrome browser with fingerprint injection to avoid detection
2. Handles cookie consent — dismisses SourcePoint GDPR popup if present
3. Calls 9GAG's internal API directly using fetch() within the browser context, inheriting the session cookies
4. Paginates using 9GAG's nextCursor field which provides exact pagination tokens
5. Normalizes all post data into a consistent schema

The scraper does not rely on DOM scraping — it uses 9GAG's undocumented REST API (/v1/group-posts), which returns structured JSON with full image/video URLs. This makes it fast, reliable, and independent of HTML changes.

Anti-Bot Notes

9GAG uses SourcePoint for GDPR cookie consent management. The scraper automatically handles this by trying to accept the consent popup before making API calls. No Cloudflare protection is present on 9GAG — the real Chrome browser with fingerprinting is sufficient.

Limitations

• maxItems per run is bounded by 9GAG's API rate limits
• NSFW content requires an authenticated 9GAG account (login) — not supported
• Video HD URLs (videoHdUrl) may not be available for all videos depending on the original upload quality
