Is it worth using deathbycaptcha service? - node.js

I'm using Pupeeteer to automate some task on a website but there's Google's image captcha problem it appears after sometime.
I tried many things but can't solve this problem. Tried using chrome extension but puppeteer doesn't seem to work with that.
So I just wanna know is it worth using 'deathbycaptcha' service? Its paid but it looks like it will do the job.

Is there a way to deploy my app on a hosted platform?

Dear Stackoverflow people,
I am facing the following problem:
For an internship in a company I have created a leaflet map with several custom features such as custom popups, markerstyle etc. The thing is, in the end they are supposed to manage the whole thing. Since they don´t know anything about code they asked for the easiest possible way for them to add data to the map.
So I came across the serverside tutorial by CodingTrain using Node.js and thought its perfect for me. Now I created basically a webform that takes up all information, converts it into a geoJSON feature, stores it in a database and sends it to the map to be displayed, great easy GUI to add new features...
Now comes the bummer which I didnt know would be a problem: The website is on a hosted service called Bitrix. I uploaded my project and it does not recognize the routes and cant write to the database or anything. I actually dont know whether I can run node on this platform?
I had the idea to launch the whole thing on a Service like Heroku or Glitch and just take the map from there and include it into the other website via an Iframe or something like that. Do you guys think thats feasible? Are there any other better ways?
Sorry for my obvious cluelessness but I´m completely new to serverside programming and thought I´d found an easy way out... I am grateful for any kind of suggestions or help!

detecting if website has e-commerce in Node.js

I need to detect programatically if a website has an e-commerce platform/system
I don't need to know which one, I just need to know if the website has one.
(I have a big list of websites so I probably need to scrape them)
any suggestions on how I could do this without using external websites (like rescan.io/builtwith/etc) would be greatly appreciated!
thank you!
You can use a package called Puppeteer which is used to do web-scraping in node.js.
I don't know what platforms you are trying to look for, but I guess you could try something like giving the list of websites you want to check to a node.js process and ask Puppeteer to scrape them all. Then you look at the content you get back and for example look for Shopify's CDN in the tags or check the tags for keywords.
You will definitely need to check each different platform like Magento or Shopify for unique source code that clearly sets apart the framework you are looking at from other tools.

Best way to generate PDF from a template using nodejs

Now, I'm looking for the solution to generate pdf (invoice with barcode, etc..) from template(html, css) in nodejs environment. I found there are several ways to do that such as wkhtmltopdf, phantom.js & handlebars.js, html-pdf. What I'm concern is which is the best way to solve this problem.
Also, I have look at jsPDF, an client side generation, but it seem not suitable for production right now.
So, Anyone have used one of these library in production, please give me an advised.
Many thanks !
UPDATED:
Headless chromium is now ready for use.
Have some limitation (e.g: custom header, footer), but work great in almost cases.
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md
UPDATED: 4/2019
Now, Puppeteer is a major library for generating pdfs
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer
If the invoice is on a static webpage, PhantomJS will allow you to generate a PDF . Here are a link to the screen-capture section of the docs. It shows you how simple it is do perform this :)

Setting the record straight on google OpenID Connect for chrome extensions

I have developed a chrome extension and I would like to charge the clients a monthly subscriptions through Google App store.
After doing some research in the developer's documentation on google chrome I have tried numerous variations to make it work. Unfortunately I dont even remember every route I took because I followed outdated and - presumably - updated instructions, and I got errors all the time. Now i'm just so confused and I'm really tired to get started blindly and failing again.
The best thing would be if someone here can just set the record straight once and for all and create a file with clear and detailed instructions along with tested working code that I need to include in my files. I'll will follow those instructions closely, and if I encounter any errors along the way I'll ask it here on the discussion thread so you people can guide me through on how to overcome the errors and make this work.
Lets start from square one and take it one step at a time with your guidance!
Thanks A lot

How to create an account on Google Apps to use Google Apps Extensions Console?

I am asking this question because the information on tutorials is terribly vague for a novice. Concretely, I am trying to put up an extractor to use in Gmail Contextual App. Here is where it gets complicated. To make a Gmail Contextual App, I need to upload my app code as extractor on Google Apps Extensions Console, but I am just unable to access or know where is this page. All it say here is that
Point your browser to http://code.google.com/googleapps/console/a/yourDomainName.
Well I did exactly that, considering a project at code.google.com doesn't have any place to upload an extractor, and pointed to instead
http://code.google.com/googleapps/console/a/GodKnowsWhatTheHeckIsThis
Where GodKnowsWhatTheHeckIsThis is completly arbitrary, I was expecting some magic here that somehow I will be taken to a project that I have not even created.
Well what happened instead is: infinite recursion.
Can you please help me here? I will be terribly grateful.
