Hello, there is a task to write a parser (using phantomjs)
The parser must visit sites every day and collect information.
As I understand it, for my task, only 1 way out is to buy a VPS?
But isn't it too much to pay 300 rubles a month. only that the script once a day fulfilled 5 minutes.
Are there any other options? Cheaper and easier
Honestly, it’s not even about money, but just messing around with VPS, registering an account, etc. seems redundant for solving such a problem.
Maybe there are some services where you write phantomjs code in the browser and hang it on cron?

Firstly, GVA costs from 100 rubles.
Secondly, you can try the cloud. Since the clouds are charged according to the actual time spent.
Thirdly, there are also semi-free options, in particular Google AppEngine - free as long as you do not exceed the limits. And there are big limits.
Fourth, you can run your spider on your personal computer as well.
Fifth - why a browser?
