I've had extensive luck doing just that. Spend some time doing the initial work to see how the page works and then give the llm examples of the HTML that should be clicked for next page or the css classes that indicate the details you're after and then ask for a playwright to yaml tool.

Been doing this for a few months now to keep an eye on the prices for local grocery stores. I had to introduce random jitter so Ali Express wouldn't block me from trying to dump my decade+ of order history.
