i would recommend zombiejs if you really need scraping.
although puppeteer’s syntax is a tad bit nicer, zombie will also do every job you throw at it at a way lower memory feast 
using it myself in multiple node projects, you can checkout https://glitch.com/~masto-auth for example (using it to mitm logins).
https://github.com/blubbll/mastodon/blob/master/masto-auth.js
Zombie also has await, so don’t get confused by the call-back only orientation you might get at it’s official documentation.
hope i could help you

I got it working, the problem was that the code was going to the catch block which i forgot to put a browser.close() i also checked some related issues on GH and the authors said that’s better launch one instance and work with that instead of launching one everytime the code runs since it’s a interval
but thanks!
