Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control
headless
Chrome or Chromium over the
DevTools Protocol
. It
can also be configured to use full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.
The Chrome DevTools team maintains the library, but we'd love your help and
expertise on the project. See
Contributing
.
What can I do?
Most actions you can take manually in the browser can be done with Puppeteer.
Here are a few examples to get you started:
- Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.
- Crawl a SPA (Single-Page Application) and generate pre-rendered content (SSR
or server-side rendering).
- Automate actions such as form submission, UI testing, keyboard input.
- Create an up-to-date, automated testing environment. Run your tests directly
in the latest version of Chrome using the latest JavaScript and browser
features.
- Capture a timeline trace of your site to help diagnose performance issues.
- Test Chrome Extensions.
