<p>Puppeteer is a Node.js library which provides a high-level API to control
Chrome/Chromium over the
<a href="https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">DevTools Protocol</a>.
Puppeteer runs in
<a href="https://developer.chrome.com/articles/new-headless/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">headless</a>
mode by default, but can be configured to run in full (&quot;headful&quot;)
Chrome/Chromium.</p>

<p>Most things that you can do manually in the browser can be done using Puppeteer!
Here are a few examples to get you started:</p>
<ul>
<li>Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.</li>
<li>Crawl a SPA (Single-Page Application) and generate pre-rendered content (i.e.
&quot;SSR&quot; (Server-Side Rendering)).</li>
<li>Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc.</li>
<li>Create an automated testing environment using the latest JavaScript and
browser features.</li>
<li>Capture a
<a href="https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/evaluate-performance/reference" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">timeline trace</a>
of your site to help diagnose performance issues.</li>
<li><a href="https://pptr.dev/guides/chrome-extensions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Test Chrome Extensions</a>.</li>

<p>When you install Puppeteer, it automatically downloads a recent version of
<a href="https://developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-for-testing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chrome for Testing</a> (~170MB macOS, ~282MB Linux, ~280MB Windows) and a <code>chrome-headless-shell</code> binary (starting with Puppeteer v21.6.0) that is <a href="https://pptr.dev/faq#q-why-doesnt-puppeteer-vxxx-work-with-chromium-vyyy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">guaranteed to
work</a>
with Puppeteer. The browser is downloaded to the <code>$HOME/.cache/puppeteer</code> folder
by default (starting with Puppeteer v19.0.0). See <a href="https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.configuration" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">configuration</a> for configuration options and environmental variables to control the download behavor.</p>
<p>If you deploy a project using Puppeteer to a hosting provider, such as Render or
Heroku, you might need to reconfigure the location of the cache to be within
your project folder (see an example below) because not all hosting providers
include <code>$HOME/.cache</code> into the project&#x27;s deployment.</p>
<p>For a version of Puppeteer without the browser installation, see
<a href="#puppeteer-core"><code>puppeteer-core</code></a>.</p>
<p>If used with TypeScript, the minimum supported TypeScript version is <code>4.7.4</code>.</p>
<h4 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="configuration">Configuration<a href="#configuration" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Configuration" title="Direct link to Configuration"></a></h4>
<p>Puppeteer uses several defaults that can be customized through configuration
files.</p>
<p>For example, to change the default cache directory Puppeteer uses to install
browsers, you can add a <code>.puppeteerrc.cjs</code> (or <code>puppeteer.config.cjs</code>) at the
root of your application with the contents</p>

<p>For every release since v1.7.0 we publish two packages:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>puppeteer</code></a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-core" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>puppeteer-core</code></a></li>
</ul>
<p><code>puppeteer</code> is a <em>product</em> for browser automation. When installed, it downloads
a version of Chrome, which it then drives using <code>puppeteer-core</code>. Being an
end-user product, <code>puppeteer</code> automates several workflows using reasonable
defaults <a href="https://pptr.dev/guides/configuration" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">that can be customized</a>.</p>
<p><code>puppeteer-core</code> is a <em>library</em> to help drive anything that supports DevTools
protocol. Being a library, <code>puppeteer-core</code> is fully driven through its
programmatic interface implying no defaults are assumed and <code>puppeteer-core</code>
will not download Chrome when installed.</p>
<p>You should use <code>puppeteer-core</code> if you are
<a href="https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.puppeteer.connect" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">connecting to a remote browser</a>
or <a href="https://pptr.dev/browsers-api/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">managing browsers yourself</a>.
If you are managing browsers yourself, you will need to call
<a href="https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.puppeteernode.launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>puppeteer.launch</code></a> with
an explicit
<a href="https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.launchoptions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>executablePath</code></a>
(or <a href="https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.launchoptions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>channel</code></a> if it&#x27;s
installed in a standard location).</p>
<p>When using <code>puppeteer-core</code>, remember to change the import:</p>

<p>Before v22, Puppeteer launched the <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/articles/new-headless/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">old Headless mode</a> by default.
The old headless mode is now known as
<a href="https://developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-headless-shell" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>chrome-headless-shell</code></a>
and ships as a separate binary. <code>chrome-headless-shell</code> does not match the
behavior of the regular Chrome completely but it is currently more performant
for automation tasks where the complete Chrome feature set is not needed. If the performance
is more important for your use case, switch to <code>chrome-headless-shell</code> as following:</p>

<p><strong>2. Runs a bundled version of Chrome</strong></p>
<p>By default, Puppeteer downloads and uses a specific version of Chrome so its
API is guaranteed to work out of the box. To use Puppeteer with a different
version of Chrome or Chromium, pass in the executable&#x27;s path when creating a
<code>Browser</code> instance:</p>
