Problem
Some sites that rely on SPA type of architecture are returning HTML content before the page is properly populated with client side fetched data.
Solution
When working with playwright, depending on the architecture of the scraped site, we may want to wait for different page events before considering a page "loaded" and ready to parse.
This adds the ability to specify
load_state
, which defaults todomcontentloaded
but can be overridden with other playwright load states: https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-load-state
