### Overview
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol.
The Puppeteer API is hierarchical and mirrors the browser structure.
> **NOTE** On the following diagram, faded entities are not currently represented in Puppeteer.
![puppeteer overview](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/81942/86137523-ab2ba080-baed-11ea-9d4b-30eda784585a.png)
- [`Puppeteer`](#class-puppeteer) communicates with the browser using [DevTools Protocol](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/).
- [`Browser`](#class-browser) instance can own multiple browser contexts.
- [`BrowserContext`](#class-browsercontext) instance defines a browsing session and can own multiple pages.
- [`Page`](#class-page) has at least one frame: main frame. There might be other frames created by [iframe](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe) or [frame](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/frame) tags.
- [`Frame`](#class-frame) has at least one execution context - the default execution context - where the frame's JavaScript is executed. A Frame might have additional execution contexts that are associated with [extensions](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions).
- [`WebWorker`](#class-webworker) has a single execution context and facilitates interacting with [WebWorkers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).

### puppeteer vs puppeteer-core
Every release since v1.7.0 we publish two packages:
- [puppeteer](https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer)
- [puppeteer-core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-core)
`puppeteer` is a _product_ for browser automation. When installed, it downloads a version of
Chromium, which it then drives using `puppeteer-core`. Being an end-user product, `puppeteer` supports a bunch of convenient `PUPPETEER_*` env variables to tweak its behavior.
`puppeteer-core` is a _library_ to help drive anything that supports DevTools protocol. `puppeteer-core` doesn't download Chromium when installed. Being a library, `puppeteer-core` is fully driven
through its programmatic interface and disregards all the `PUPPETEER_*` env variables.
To sum up, the only differences between `puppeteer-core` and `puppeteer` are:
- `puppeteer-core` doesn't automatically download Chromium when installed.
- `puppeteer-core` ignores all `PUPPETEER_*` env variables.
In most cases, you'll be fine using the `puppeteer` package.
However, you should use `puppeteer-core` if:
2019-01-27 05:37:02 +00:00
- you're building another end-user product or library atop of DevTools protocol. For example, one might build a PDF generator using `puppeteer-core` and write a custom `install.js` script that downloads [`headless_shell`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md) instead of Chromium to save disk space.
- you're bundling Puppeteer to use in Chrome Extension / browser with the DevTools protocol where downloading an additional Chromium binary is unnecessary.
- you're building a set of tools where `puppeteer-core` is one of the ingredients and you want to postpone `install.js` script execution until Chromium is about to be used.
When using `puppeteer-core`, remember to change the _include_ line:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-core');
```
You will then need to call [`puppeteer.connect([options])`](#puppeteerconnectoptions) or [`puppeteer.launch([options])`](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) with an explicit `executablePath` or `channel` option.
### Environment Variables
Puppeteer looks for certain [environment variables](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable) to aid its operations.
If Puppeteer doesn't find them in the environment during the installation step, a lowercased variant of these variables will be used from the [npm config](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/config).
- `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY` - defines HTTP proxy settings that are used to download and run the browser.
- `PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD` - do not download bundled Chromium during installation step.
- `PUPPETEER_TMP_DIR` - defines the directory to be used by Puppeteer for creating temporary files. Defaults to [`os.tmpdir()`](https://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_os_tmpdir).
- `PUPPETEER_DOWNLOAD_HOST` - overwrite URL prefix that is used to download Chromium. Note: this includes protocol and might even include path prefix. Defaults to `https://storage.googleapis.com`.
- `PUPPETEER_DOWNLOAD_PATH` - overwrite the path for the downloads folder. Defaults to `<root>/.local-chromium`, where `<root>` is Puppeteer's package root.
2019-11-26 12:12:25 +00:00
- `PUPPETEER_CHROMIUM_REVISION` - specify a certain version of Chromium you'd like Puppeteer to use. See [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) on how executable path is inferred. **BEWARE**: Puppeteer is only [guaranteed to work](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/#q-why-doesnt-puppeteer-vxxx-work-with-chromium-vyyy) with the bundled Chromium, use at your own risk.
- `PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH` - specify an executable path to be used in `puppeteer.launch`. See [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) on how the executable path is inferred. **BEWARE**: Puppeteer is only [guaranteed to work](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/#q-why-doesnt-puppeteer-vxxx-work-with-chromium-vyyy) with the bundled Chromium, use at your own risk.
- `PUPPETEER_PRODUCT` - specify which browser you'd like Puppeteer to use. Must be one of `chrome` or `firefox`. This can also be used during installation to fetch the recommended browser binary. Setting `product` programmatically in [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) supersedes this environment variable. The product is exposed in [`puppeteer.product`](#puppeteerproduct)
- `PUPPETEER_EXPERIMENTAL_CHROMIUM_MAC_ARM` — specify Puppeteer download Chromium for Apple M1. On Apple M1 devices Puppeteer by default downloads the version for Intel's processor which runs via Rosetta. It works without any problems, however, with this option, you should get more efficient resource usage (CPU and RAM) that could lead to a faster execution time. **BEWARE**: it's an experimental option that makes sense only if you have an Apple M1 device, use at your own risk.
> **NOTE** `PUPPETEER_*` env variables are not accounted for in the [`puppeteer-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-core) package.
### Working with Chrome Extensions
Puppeteer can be used for testing Chrome Extensions.
> **NOTE** Extensions in Chrome / Chromium currently only work in non-headless mode and experimental Chrome headless mode.
The following is code for getting a handle to the [background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) of an extension whose source is located in `./my-extension`:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const pathToExtension = require('path').join(__dirname, 'my-extension');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
headless: 'chrome',
args: [
`--disable-extensions-except=${pathToExtension}`,
`--load-extension=${pathToExtension}`,
],
});
const backgroundPageTarget = await browser.waitForTarget(
target => target.type() === 'background_page'
);
const backgroundPage = await backgroundPageTarget.page();
// Test the background page as you would any other page.
await browser.close();
})();
```
> **NOTE** Chrome Manifest V3 extensions have a background ServiceWorker of type 'service_worker', instead of a page of type 'background_page'.
> **NOTE** It is not yet possible to test extension popups or content scripts.
### class: Puppeteer
Puppeteer module provides a method to launch a Chromium instance.
The following is a typical example of using Puppeteer to drive automation:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
await page.goto('https://www.google.com');

- returns: <[Promise]<[Browser]>> Promise which resolves to browser instance.
You can use `ignoreDefaultArgs` to filter out `--mute-audio` from default arguments:
```js
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--mute-audio'],
});
```
> **NOTE** Puppeteer can also be used to control the Chrome browser, but it works best with the version of Chromium it is bundled with. There is no guarantee it will work with any other version. Use `executablePath` or `channel` option with extreme caution.
>
> If Google Chrome (rather than Chromium) is preferred, a [Chrome Canary](https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html) or [Dev Channel](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel) build is suggested.
>
> In [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) above, any mention of Chromium also applies to Chrome.
>
> See [`this article`](https://www.howtogeek.com/202825/what%E2%80%99s-the-difference-between-chromium-and-chrome/) for a description of the differences between Chromium and Chrome.

### class: BrowserFetcher
BrowserFetcher can download and manage different versions of Chromium and Firefox.
BrowserFetcher operates on revision strings that specify a precise version of Chromium, e.g. `"533271"`. Revision strings can be obtained from [omahaproxy.appspot.com](http://omahaproxy.appspot.com/).
In the Firefox case, BrowserFetcher downloads Firefox Nightly and operates on version numbers such as `"75"`.
An example of using BrowserFetcher to download a specific version of Chromium and running
Puppeteer against it:
```js
const browserFetcher = puppeteer.createBrowserFetcher();
const revisionInfo = await browserFetcher.download('533271');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
executablePath: revisionInfo.executablePath,
});

### class: Browser
- extends: [EventEmitter](#class-eventemitter)
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
A Browser is created when Puppeteer connects to a Chromium instance, either through [`puppeteer.launch`](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) or [`puppeteer.connect`](#puppeteerconnectoptions).
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
An example of using a [Browser] to create a [Page]:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
})();
```
An example of disconnecting from and reconnecting to a [Browser]:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
// Store the endpoint to be able to reconnect to Chromium
const browserWSEndpoint = browser.wsEndpoint();
// Disconnect puppeteer from Chromium
browser.disconnect();
// Use the endpoint to reestablish a connection
const browser2 = await puppeteer.connect({browserWSEndpoint});
// Close Chromium
await browser2.close();
})();
```
#### event: 'disconnected'
Emitted when Puppeteer gets disconnected from the Chromium instance. This might happen because of one of the following:
- Chromium is closed or crashed
- The [`browser.disconnect`](#browserdisconnect) method was called
#### event: 'targetchanged'
- <[Target]>
Emitted when the URL of a target changes.
> **NOTE** This includes target changes in incognito browser contexts.
#### event: 'targetcreated'
- <[Target]>
Emitted when a target is created, for example when a new page is opened by [`window.open`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open) or [`browser.newPage`](#browsernewpage).
> **NOTE** This includes target creations in incognito browser contexts.
#### event: 'targetdestroyed'
- <[Target]>
Emitted when a target is destroyed, for example when a page is closed.
> **NOTE** This includes target destructions in incognito browser contexts.
#### browser.browserContexts()
- returns: <[Array]<[BrowserContext]>>
Returns an array of all open browser contexts. In a newly created browser, this will return
a single instance of [BrowserContext].
#### browser.close()
- returns: <[Promise]>
Closes Chromium and all of its pages (if any were opened). The [Browser] object itself is considered to be disposed and cannot be used anymore.
During the process of closing the browser, Puppeteer attempts to delete the temp folder created exclusively for this browser instance. If this fails (either because a file in the temp folder is locked by another process or because of insufficient permissions) an error is logged. This implies that: a) the folder and/or its content is not fully deleted; and b) the connection with the browser is not properly disposed (see [browser.disconnect()](#browserdisconnect)).
#### browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Set of configurable options to set on the browserContext. Can have the following fields:
- `proxyServer` <[string]> Optional proxy server with optional port to use for all requests. Username and password can be set in [page.authenticate(credentials)](#pageauthenticatecredentials).
- `proxyBypassList` <[string]> Optional: Bypass the proxy for the given semi-colon-separated list of hosts.
- returns: <[Promise]<[BrowserContext]>>
Creates a new incognito browser context. This won't share cookies/cache with other browser contexts.
```js
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
// Create a new incognito browser context.
const context = await browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext();
// Create a new page in a pristine context.
const page = await context.newPage();
// Do stuff
await page.goto('https://example.com');
})();
```
#### browser.defaultBrowserContext()
- returns: <[BrowserContext]>
Returns the default browser context. The default browser context can not be closed.
#### browser.disconnect()
Disconnects Puppeteer from the browser but leaves the Chromium process running. After calling `disconnect`, the [Browser] object is considered disposed and cannot be used anymore.
#### browser.isConnected()
- returns: <[boolean]>
Indicates that the browser is connected.
#### browser.newPage()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Page]>>
Promise which resolves to a new [Page] object. The [Page] is created in a default browser context.
#### browser.pages()

An array of all pages inside the Browser. In case of multiple browser contexts,
the method will return an array with all the pages in all browser contexts.
#### browser.process()
- returns: <?[ChildProcess]> Spawned browser process. Returns `null` if the browser instance was created with [`puppeteer.connect`](#puppeteerconnectoptions) method.
#### browser.target()

- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>> Promise which resolves to the browser's original user agent.
> **NOTE** Pages can override browser user agent with [page.setUserAgent](#pagesetuseragentuseragent-useragentmetadata)
#### browser.version()
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>> For headless Chromium, this is similar to `HeadlessChrome/61.0.3153.0`. For non-headless, this is similar to `Chrome/61.0.3153.0`.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
> **NOTE** the format of browser.version() might change with future releases of Chromium.
#### browser.waitForTarget(predicate[, options])
- `predicate` <[function]\([Target]\):[boolean]|[Promise<boolean>]> A function to be run for every target
- `options` <[Object]>
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. Defaults to 30 seconds.

const newWindowTarget = await browser.waitForTarget(
target => target.url() === 'https://www.example.com/'
);
```
#### browser.wsEndpoint()
- returns: <[string]> Browser websocket URL.

### class: BrowserContext
- extends: [EventEmitter](#class-eventemitter)
BrowserContexts provide a way to operate multiple independent browser sessions. When a browser is launched, it has
a single BrowserContext used by default. The method `browser.newPage()` creates a page in the default browser context.
If a page opens another page, e.g. with a `window.open` call, the popup will belong to the parent page's browser
context.
Puppeteer allows creation of "incognito" browser contexts with `browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext()` method.
"Incognito" browser contexts don't write any browsing data to disk.
```js
// Create a new incognito browser context
const context = await browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext();
// Create a new page inside context.
const page = await context.newPage();
// ... do stuff with page ...
await page.goto('https://example.com');
// Dispose context once it's no longer needed.
await context.close();
```
#### event: 'targetchanged'
- <[Target]>
Emitted when the URL of a target inside the browser context changes.
#### event: 'targetcreated'
- <[Target]>
Emitted when a new target is created inside the browser context, for example when a new page is opened by [`window.open`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open) or [`browserContext.newPage`](#browsercontextnewpage).
#### event: 'targetdestroyed'
- <[Target]>
Emitted when a target inside the browser context is destroyed, for example when a page is closed.
#### browserContext.browser()
- returns: <[Browser]>
The browser this browser context belongs to.
#### browserContext.clearPermissionOverrides()
- returns: <[Promise]>
Clears all permission overrides for the browser context.
```js
const context = browser.defaultBrowserContext();
context.overridePermissions('https://example.com', ['clipboard-read']);
// do stuff ..
context.clearPermissionOverrides();
```
#### browserContext.close()
- returns: <[Promise]>
Closes the browser context. All the targets that belong to the browser context
will be closed.
> **NOTE** only incognito browser contexts can be closed.
#### browserContext.isIncognito()
- returns: <[boolean]>
Returns whether BrowserContext is incognito.
The default browser context is the only non-incognito browser context.
> **NOTE** the default browser context cannot be closed.
#### browserContext.newPage()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Page]>>
Creates a new page in the browser context.
#### browserContext.overridePermissions(origin, permissions)
- `origin` <[string]> The [origin] to grant permissions to, e.g. "https://example.com".
- `permissions` <[Array]<[string]>> An array of permissions to grant. All permissions that are not listed here will be automatically denied. Permissions can be one of the following values:
- `'geolocation'`
- `'midi'`
- `'midi-sysex'` (system-exclusive midi)
- `'notifications'`
- `'push'`
- `'camera'`
- `'microphone'`
- `'background-sync'`
- `'ambient-light-sensor'`
- `'accelerometer'`
- `'gyroscope'`
- `'magnetometer'`
- `'accessibility-events'`
- `'clipboard-read'`
- `'clipboard-write'`
- `'payment-handler'`
- `'persistent-storage'`
- returns: <[Promise]>
```js
const context = browser.defaultBrowserContext();
await context.overridePermissions('https://html5demos.com', ['geolocation']);
```
#### browserContext.pages()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[Page]>>> Promise which resolves to an array of all open pages. Non visible pages, such as `"background_page"`, will not be listed here. You can find them using [target.page()](#targetpage).
An array of all pages inside the browser context.
#### browserContext.targets()
- returns: <[Array]<[Target]>>
An array of all active targets inside the browser context.
#### browserContext.waitForTarget(predicate[, options])
- `predicate` <[function]\([Target]\):[boolean]|[Promise<boolean>]> A function to be run for every target
- `options` <[Object]>
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. Defaults to 30 seconds.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Target]>> Promise which resolves to the first target found that matches the `predicate` function.
This searches for a target in this specific browser context.
An example of finding a target for a page opened via `window.open`:
```js
await page.evaluate(() => window.open('https://www.example.com/'));
const newWindowTarget = await browserContext.waitForTarget(
target => target.url() === 'https://www.example.com/'
);
```
### class: Page
- extends: [EventEmitter](#class-eventemitter)
Page provides methods to interact with a single tab or [extension background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) in Chromium. One [Browser] instance might have multiple [Page] instances.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
This example creates a page, navigates it to a URL, and then saves a screenshot:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.screenshot({path: 'screenshot.png'});
await browser.close();
})();
```
The Page class emits various events (described below) which can be handled using
any of the [`EventEmitter`](#class-eventemitter) methods, such as `on`, `once`
or `off`.
This example logs a message for a single page `load` event:
```js
page.once('load', () => console.log('Page loaded!'));
```
To unsubscribe from events use the `off` method:
```js
function logRequest(interceptedRequest) {
console.log('A request was made:', interceptedRequest.url());
}
page.on('request', logRequest);
// Sometime later...
page.off('request', logRequest);
```
#### event: 'close'
Emitted when the page closes.
#### event: 'console'
- <[ConsoleMessage]>
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
Emitted when JavaScript within the page calls one of console API methods, e.g. `console.log` or `console.dir`. Also emitted if the page throws an error or a warning.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
The arguments passed into `console.log` appear as arguments on the event handler.
An example of handling `console` event:
```js
page.on('console', msg => {
for (let i = 0; i < msg.args().length; ++i)
console.log(`${i}: ${msg.args()[i]}`);
});
page.evaluate(() => console.log('hello', 5, {foo: 'bar'}));
```
#### event: 'dialog'
- <[Dialog]>
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
Emitted when a JavaScript dialog appears, such as `alert`, `prompt`, `confirm` or `beforeunload`. Puppeteer can respond to the dialog via [Dialog]'s [accept](#dialogacceptprompttext) or [dismiss](#dialogdismiss) methods.
#### event: 'domcontentloaded'
Emitted when the JavaScript [`DOMContentLoaded`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/DOMContentLoaded) event is dispatched.
#### event: 'error'
- <[Error]>
Emitted when the page crashes.
> **NOTE** `error` event has a special meaning in Node, see [error events](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_error_events) for details.
#### event: 'frameattached'
- <[Frame]>
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00

#### event: 'metrics'
- <[Object]>
- `title` <[string]> The title passed to `console.timeStamp`.
- `metrics` <[Object]> Object containing metrics as key/value pairs. The values
of metrics are of <[number]> type.
Emitted when the JavaScript code makes a call to `console.timeStamp`. For the list
of metrics see `page.metrics`.
#### event: 'pageerror'
- <[Error]> The exception message
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
Emitted when an uncaught exception happens within the page.
#### event: 'popup'

new Promise(resolve => page.once('popup', resolve)),
page.click('a[target=_blank]'),
]);
```
```js
const [popup] = await Promise.all([
new Promise(resolve => page.once('popup', resolve)),
page.evaluate(() => window.open('https://example.com')),
]);
```
#### event: 'request'
- <[HTTPRequest]>
2020-12-22 12:34:44 +00:00

2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
Emitted when a request fails, for example by timing out.
> **NOTE** HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with [`'requestfinished'`](#event-requestfinished) event and not with [`'requestfailed'`](#event-requestfailed).
#### event: 'requestfinished'
- <[HTTPRequest]>
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00

- <[WebWorker]>
Emitted when a dedicated [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) is terminated.
#### page.$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>>
The method runs `document.querySelector` within the page. If no element matches the selector, the return value resolves to `null`.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$(selector)](#frameselector).
#### page.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>
The method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$$(selector)](#frameselector-1).
#### page.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))` within the page and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `page.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const divCount = await page.$$eval('div', divs => divs.length);
```
```js
const options = await page.$$eval('div > span.options', options =>
options.map(option => option.textContent)
);
```
#### page.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the page and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `page.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const searchValue = await page.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
const preloadHref = await page.$eval('link[rel=preload]', el => el.href);
const html = await page.$eval('.main-container', e => e.outerHTML);
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$eval(selector, pageFunction)](#frameevalselector-pagefunction-args).
#### page.$x(expression)
- `expression` <[string]> Expression to [evaluate](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/evaluate).
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>

2018-03-28 20:18:59 +00:00
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$x(expression)](#framexexpression)
#### page.accessibility
- returns: <[Accessibility]>
#### page.addScriptTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of a script to be added.
- `path` <[string]> Path to the JavaScript file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- `content` <[string]> Raw JavaScript content to be injected into frame.
- `type` <[string]> Script type. Use 'module' in order to load a Javascript ES6 module. See [script](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script) for more details.
- `id` <[string]> id attribute to add to the script tag.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the script's onload fires or when the script content was injected into frame.
Adds a `<script>` tag into the page with the desired URL or content.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().addScriptTag(options)](#frameaddscripttagoptions).
#### page.addStyleTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of the `<link>` tag.
- `path` <[string]> Path to the CSS file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- `content` <[string]> Raw CSS content to be injected into frame.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the stylesheet's onload fires or when the CSS content was injected into frame.
Adds a `<link rel="stylesheet">` tag into the page with the desired URL or a `<style type="text/css">` tag with the content.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().addStyleTag(options)](#frameaddstyletagoptions).
#### page.authenticate(credentials)
- `credentials` <?[Object]>

#### page.browser()
- returns: <[Browser]>
Get the browser the page belongs to.
#### page.browserContext()

Get the browser context that the page belongs to.
#### page.click(selector[, options])
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00

2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if `click()` triggers a navigation event and there's a separate `page.waitForNavigation()` promise to be resolved, you may end up with a race condition that yields unexpected results. The correct pattern for click and wait for navigation is the following:
```js
const [response] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation(waitOptions),
page.click(selector, clickOptions),
]);
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().click(selector[, options])](#frameclickselector-options).

- returns: <[Promise]>
By default, `page.close()` **does not** run beforeunload handlers.
> **NOTE** if `runBeforeUnload` is passed as true, a `beforeunload` dialog might be summoned
> and should be handled manually via page's ['dialog'](#event-dialog) event.
#### page.content()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>>
Gets the full HTML contents of the page, including the doctype.

If URLs are specified, only cookies for those URLs are returned.
#### page.coverage
- returns: <[Coverage]>
#### page.createPDFStream([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Options object which might have the following properties:
- `path` <[string]> The file path to save the PDF to. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd). If no path is provided, the PDF won't be saved to the disk.
- `scale` <[number]> Scale of the webpage rendering. Defaults to `1`. Scale amount must be between 0.1 and 2.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Stream a PDF into a file
const pdfStream = await page.createPDFStream();
const writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('test.pdf');
pdfStream.pipe(writeStream);
pdfStream.on('end', async () => {
await browser.close();
});
})();

- `name` <[string]> **required**
- `url` <[string]>
- `domain` <[string]>
- `path` <[string]>
- returns: <[Promise]>
#### page.emulate(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- `viewport` <[Object]>
- `width` <[number]> page width in pixels.
- `height` <[number]> page height in pixels.
- `deviceScaleFactor` <[number]> Specify device scale factor (can be thought of as DPR). Defaults to `1`.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- `isMobile` <[boolean]> Whether the `meta viewport` tag is taken into account. Defaults to `false`.
- `hasTouch`<[boolean]> Specifies if viewport supports touch events. Defaults to `false`
- `isLandscape` <[boolean]> Specifies if viewport is in landscape mode. Defaults to `false`.
- `userAgent` <[string]>
- returns: <[Promise]>
Emulates given device metrics and user agent. This method is a shortcut for calling two methods:
- [page.setUserAgent(userAgent)](#pagesetuseragentuseragent-useragentmetadata)
- [page.setViewport(viewport)](#pagesetviewportviewport)
To aid emulation, Puppeteer provides a list of device descriptors that can be obtained via the [`puppeteer.devices`](#puppeteerdevices).
`page.emulate` will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should emulate before navigating to the page.
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const iPhone = puppeteer.devices['iPhone 6'];
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.emulate(iPhone);
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
await page.goto('https://www.google.com');
// other actions...
await browser.close();
})();
```
List of all available devices is available in the source code: [src/common/DeviceDescriptors.ts](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/src/common/DeviceDescriptors.ts).
#### page.emulateCPUThrottling(factor)
- `factor` <?[number]> Factor at which the CPU will be throttled (2x, 2.5x. 3x, ...). Passing `null` disables cpu throttling.
- returns: <[Promise]>
> **NOTE** Real device CPU performance is impacted by many factors that are not trivial to emulate via the Chrome DevTools Protocol / Puppeteer. e.g core count, L1/L2 cache, thermal throttling impacting performance, architecture etc. Simulating CPU performance can be a good guideline, but ideally also verify any numbers you see on a real mobile device.
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const slow3G = puppeteer.networkConditions['Slow 3G'];
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.emulateCPUThrottling(2);

```
#### page.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `page.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `page.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `page.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `page.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
Passing arguments to `pageFunction`:
```js
const result = await page.evaluate(x => {
return Promise.resolve(8 * x);
}, 7);
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```
A string can also be passed in instead of a function:
```js
console.log(await page.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
const x = 10;
console.log(await page.evaluate(`1 + ${x}`)); // prints "11"
```
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
[ElementHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `page.evaluate`:
```js
const bodyHandle = await page.$('body');
const html = await page.evaluate(body => body.innerHTML, bodyHandle);
await bodyHandle.dispose();
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)](#frameevaluatepagefunction-args).
#### page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.
The only difference between `page.evaluate` and `page.evaluateHandle` is that `page.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function passed to the `page.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `page.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
A string can also be passed in instead of a function:
```js
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle('document'); // Handle for the 'document'
```
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `page.evaluateHandle`:
```js
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());
await resultHandle.dispose();
```
This function will return a [JSHandle] by default, however if your `pageFunction` returns an HTML element you will get back an `ElementHandle`:
```js
const button = await page.evaluateHandle(() =>
document.querySelector('button')
);
// button is an ElementHandle, so you can call methods such as click:
await button.click();
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().executionContext().evaluateHandle(pageFunction, ...args)](#executioncontextevaluatehandlepagefunction-args).
#### page.evaluateOnNewDocument(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- returns: <[Promise]>
Adds a function which would be invoked in one of the following scenarios:
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- whenever the page is navigated
- whenever the child frame is attached or navigated. In this case, the function is invoked in the context of the newly attached frame
The function is invoked after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed `Math.random`.
An example of overriding the navigator.languages property before the page loads:
```js
// preload.js
// overwrite the `languages` property to use a custom getter
Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'languages', {
get: function () {
return ['en-US', 'en', 'bn'];
},
});
// In your puppeteer script, assuming the preload.js file is in same folder of our script
const preloadFile = fs.readFileSync('./preload.js', 'utf8');
await page.evaluateOnNewDocument(preloadFile);
```
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
#### page.exposeFunction(name, puppeteerFunction)
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- `name` <[string]> Name of the function on the window object
- `puppeteerFunction` <[function]> Callback function which will be called in Puppeteer's context. Can also be a module with a default export.
- returns: <[Promise]>
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
The method adds a function called `name` on the page's `window` object.
When called, the function executes `puppeteerFunction` in node.js and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of `puppeteerFunction`.
If the `puppeteerFunction` returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.
> **NOTE** Functions installed via `page.exposeFunction` survive navigations.
An example of adding an `md5` function into the page:
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const crypto = require('crypto');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
page.on('console', msg => console.log(msg.text()));
await page.exposeFunction('md5', text =>
crypto.createHash('md5').update(text).digest('hex')
);
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
await page.evaluate(async () => {
// use window.md5 to compute hashes
const myString = 'PUPPETEER';
const myHash = await window.md5(myString);
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
console.log(`md5 of ${myString} is ${myHash}`);
});
await browser.close();
})();
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
```
An example of adding a `window.readfile` function into the page:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const fs = require('fs');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
page.on('console', msg => console.log(msg.text()));
await page.exposeFunction('readfile', async filePath => {
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', (err, text) => {
if (err) reject(err);
else resolve(text);
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
});
});
});
await page.evaluate(async () => {
// use window.readfile to read contents of a file
const content = await window.readfile('/etc/hosts');
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
console.log(content);
});
await browser.close();
})();
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
```
#### page.focus(selector)
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to focus. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be focused.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully focused. The promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector` and focuses it.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

can not go forward, resolves to `null`.
Navigate to the next page in history.
#### page.goto(url[, options])
- `url` <[string]> URL to navigate page to. The URL should include scheme, e.g. `https://`.
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:

- `referer` <[string]> Referer header value. If provided it will take preference over the referer header value set by [page.setExtraHTTPHeaders()](#pagesetextrahttpheadersheaders).
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect.
`page.goto` will throw an error if:
- there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates).
- target URL is invalid.
- the `timeout` is exceeded during navigation.
- the remote server does not respond or is unreachable.
- the main resource failed to load.
`page.goto` will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error". The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling [response.status()](#httpresponsestatus).
> **NOTE** `page.goto` either throws an error or returns a main resource response. The only exceptions are navigation to `about:blank` or navigation to the same URL with a different hash, which would succeed and return `null`.
> **NOTE** Headless mode doesn't support navigation to a PDF document. See the [upstream issue](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=761295).

> **NOTE** Generating a pdf is currently only supported in Chrome headless.
`page.pdf()` generates a pdf of the page with `print` CSS media. To generate a pdf with `screen` media, call [page.emulateMediaType('screen')](#pageemulatemediatypetype) before calling `page.pdf()`:
> **NOTE** By default, `page.pdf()` generates a pdf with modified colors for printing. Use the [`-webkit-print-color-adjust`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-webkit-print-color-adjust) property to force rendering of exact colors.
> **NOTE** If you are generating very large PDFs, it may be useful to use the streaming version of this function ([page.createPDFStream](#pagecreatepdfstreamoptions)) to avoid high memory usage.
```js
// Generates a PDF with 'screen' media type.
await page.emulateMediaType('screen');
await page.pdf({path: 'page.pdf'});
```
The `width`, `height`, and `margin` options accept values labeled with units. Unlabeled values are treated as pixels.
A few examples:
- `page.pdf({ width: 100 })` - prints with width set to 100 pixels
- `page.pdf({ width: '100px' })` - prints with width set to 100 pixels
- `page.pdf({ width: '10cm' })` - prints with width set to 10 centimeters.
All possible units are:
- `px` - pixel
- `in` - inch

#### page.setRequestInterception(value)
- `value` <[boolean]> Whether to enable request interception.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- returns: <[Promise]>
Activating request interception enables `request.abort`, `request.continue` and `request.respond` methods. This provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by a page.
Once request interception is enabled, every request will stall unless it's continued, responded or aborted.
An example of a naïve request interceptor that aborts all image requests:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (interceptedRequest.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
if (
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') ||
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg')
)
interceptedRequest.abort();
else interceptedRequest.continue();
});
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
})();
```
##### Multiple Intercept Handlers and Asynchronous Resolutions
By default Puppeteer will raise a `Request is already handled!` exception if `request.abort`, `request.continue`, or `request.respond` are called after any of them have already been called.
Always assume that an unknown handler may have already called `abort/continue/respond`. Even if your handler is the only one you registered,
3rd party packages may register their own handlers. It is therefore
important to always check the resolution status using [request.isInterceptResolutionHandled](#httprequestisinterceptresolutionhandled)
before calling `abort/continue/respond`.
Importantly, the intercept resolution may get handled by another listener while your handler is awaiting an asynchronous operation. Therefore, the return value of `request.isInterceptResolutionHandled` is only safe in a synchronous code block. Always execute `request.isInterceptResolutionHandled` and `abort/continue/respond` **synchronously** together.
This example demonstrates two synchronous handlers working together:
```js
/*
This first handler will succeed in calling request.continue because the request interception has never been resolved.
*/
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (interceptedRequest.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
interceptedRequest.continue();
});
/*
This second handler will return before calling request.abort because request.continue was already
called by the first handler.
*/
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (interceptedRequest.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
interceptedRequest.abort();
});
```
This example demonstrates asynchronous handlers working together:
```js
/*
This first handler will succeed in calling request.continue because the request interception has never been resolved.
*/
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
// The interception has not been handled yet. Control will pass through this guard.
if (interceptedRequest.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// It is not strictly necessary to return a promise, but doing so will allow Puppeteer to await this handler.
return new Promise(resolve => {
// Continue after 500ms
setTimeout(() => {
// Inside, check synchronously to verify that the intercept wasn't handled already.
// It might have been handled during the 500ms while the other handler awaited an async op of its own.
if (interceptedRequest.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) {
resolve();
return;
}
interceptedRequest.continue();
resolve();
}, 500);
});
});
page.on('request', async interceptedRequest => {
// The interception has not been handled yet. Control will pass through this guard.
if (interceptedRequest.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
await someLongAsyncOperation();
// The interception *MIGHT* have been handled by the first handler, we can't be sure.
// Therefore, we must check again before calling continue() or we risk Puppeteer raising an exception.
if (interceptedRequest.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
interceptedRequest.continue();
});
```
For finer-grained introspection (see Cooperative Intercept Mode below), you may also call [request.interceptResolutionState](#httprequestinterceptresolutionstate) synchronously before using `abort/continue/respond`.
Here is the example above rewritten using `request.interceptResolutionState`
```js
/*
This first handler will succeed in calling request.continue because the request interception has never been resolved.
*/
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
// The interception has not been handled yet. Control will pass through this guard.
const {action} = interceptedRequest.interceptResolutionState();
if (action === InterceptResolutionAction.AlreadyHandled) return;
// It is not strictly necessary to return a promise, but doing so will allow Puppeteer to await this handler.
return new Promise(resolve => {
// Continue after 500ms
setTimeout(() => {
// Inside, check synchronously to verify that the intercept wasn't handled already.
// It might have been handled during the 500ms while the other handler awaited an async op of its own.
const {action} = interceptedRequest.interceptResolutionState();
if (action === InterceptResolutionAction.AlreadyHandled) {
resolve();
return;
}
interceptedRequest.continue();
resolve();
}, 500);
});
});
page.on('request', async interceptedRequest => {
// The interception has not been handled yet. Control will pass through this guard.
if (
interceptedRequest.interceptResolutionState().action ===
InterceptResolutionAction.AlreadyHandled
)
return;
await someLongAsyncOperation();
// The interception *MIGHT* have been handled by the first handler, we can't be sure.
// Therefore, we must check again before calling continue() or we risk Puppeteer raising an exception.
if (
interceptedRequest.interceptResolutionState().action ===
InterceptResolutionAction.AlreadyHandled
)
return;
interceptedRequest.continue();
});
```
##### Cooperative Intercept Mode
`request.abort`, `request.continue`, and `request.respond` can accept an optional `priority` to work in Cooperative Intercept Mode. When all
handlers are using Cooperative Intercept Mode, Puppeteer guarantees that all intercept handlers will run and be awaited in order of registration. The interception is resolved to the highest-priority resolution. Here are the rules of Cooperative Intercept Mode:
- All resolutions must supply a numeric `priority` argument to `abort/continue/respond`.
- If any resolution does not supply a numeric `priority`, Legacy Mode is active and Cooperative Intercept Mode is inactive.
- Async handlers finish before intercept resolution is finalized.
- The highest priority interception resolution "wins", i.e. the interception is ultimately aborted/responded/continued according to which resolution was given the highest priority.
- In the event of a tie, `abort` > `respond` > `continue`.
For standardization, when specifying a Cooperative Intercept Mode priority use `0` or `DEFAULT_INTERCEPT_RESOLUTION_PRIORITY` (exported from `HTTPRequest`) unless you have a clear reason to use a higher priority. This gracefully prefers `respond` over `continue` and `abort` over `respond` and allows other handlers to work cooperatively. If you do intentionally want to use a different priority, higher priorities win over lower priorities. Negative priorities are allowed. For example, `continue({}, 4)` would win over `continue({}, -2)`.
To preserve backward compatibility, any handler resolving the intercept without specifying `priority` (Legacy Mode) causes immediate resolution. For Cooperative Intercept Mode to work, all resolutions must use a `priority`. In practice, this means you must still test for
`request.isInterceptResolutionHandled` because a handler beyond your control may have called `abort/continue/respond` without a
priority (Legacy Mode).
In this example, Legacy Mode prevails and the request is aborted immediately because at least one handler omits `priority` when resolving the intercept:
```ts
// Final outcome: immediate abort()
page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Legacy Mode: interception is aborted immediately.
request.abort('failed');
});
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Control will never reach this point because the request was already aborted in Legacy Mode
// Cooperative Intercept Mode: votes for continue at priority 0.
request.continue({}, 0);
});
```
In this example, Legacy Mode prevails and the request is continued because at least one handler does not specify a `priority`:
```ts
// Final outcome: immediate continue()
page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Cooperative Intercept Mode: votes to abort at priority 0.
request.abort('failed', 0);
});
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Control reaches this point because the request was cooperatively aborted which postpones resolution.
// { action: InterceptResolutionAction.Abort, priority: 0 }, because abort @ 0 is the current winning resolution
console.log(request.interceptResolutionState());
// Legacy Mode: intercept continues immediately.
request.continue({});
});
page.on('request', request => {
// { action: InterceptResolutionAction.AlreadyHandled }, because continue in Legacy Mode was called
console.log(request.interceptResolutionState());
});
```
In this example, Cooperative Intercept Mode is active because all handlers specify a `priority`. `continue()` wins because it has a higher priority than `abort()`.
```ts
// Final outcome: cooperative continue() @ 5
page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Cooperative Intercept Mode: votes to abort at priority 10
request.abort('failed', 0);
});
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Cooperative Intercept Mode: votes to continue at priority 5
request.continue(request.continueRequestOverrides(), 5);
});
page.on('request', request => {
// { action: InterceptResolutionAction.Continue, priority: 5 }, because continue @ 5 > abort @ 0
console.log(request.interceptResolutionState());
});
```
In this example, Cooperative Intercept Mode is active because all handlers specify `priority`. `respond()` wins because its priority ties with `continue()`, but `respond()` beats `continue()`.
```ts
// Final outcome: cooperative respond() @ 15
page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Cooperative Intercept Mode: votes to abort at priority 10
request.abort('failed', 10);
});
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Cooperative Intercept Mode: votes to continue at priority 15
request.continue(request.continueRequestOverrides(), 15);
});
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Cooperative Intercept Mode: votes to respond at priority 15
request.respond(request.responseForRequest(), 15);
});
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Cooperative Intercept Mode: votes to respond at priority 12
request.respond(request.responseForRequest(), 12);
});
page.on('request', request => {
// { action: InterceptResolutionAction.Respond, priority: 15 }, because respond @ 15 > continue @ 15 > respond @ 12 > abort @ 10
console.log(request.interceptResolutionState());
});
```
##### Cooperative Request Continuation
Puppeteer requires `request.continue()` to be called explicitly or the request will hang. Even if
your handler means to take no special action, or 'opt out', `request.continue()` must still be called.
With the introduction of Cooperative Intercept Mode, two use cases arise for cooperative request continuations:
Unopinionated and Opinionated.
The first case (common) is that your handler means to opt out of doing anything special the request. It has no opinion on further action and simply intends to continue by default and/or defer to other handlers that might have an opinion. But in case there are no other handlers, we must call `request.continue()` to ensure that the request doesn't hang.
We call this an **Unopinionated continuation** because the intent is to continue the request if nobody else has a better idea. Use `request.continue({...}, DEFAULT_INTERCEPT_RESOLUTION_PRIORITY)` (or `0`) for this type of continuation.
The second case (uncommon) is that your handler actually does have an opinion and means to force continuation by overriding a lower-priority `abort()` or `respond()` issued elsewhere. We call this an **Opinionated continuation**. In these rare cases where you mean to specify an overriding continuation priority, use a custom priority.
To summarize, reason through whether your use of `request.continue` is just meant to be default/bypass behavior vs falling within the intended use case of your handler. Consider using a custom priority for in-scope use cases, and a default priority otherwise. Be aware that your handler may have both Opinionated and Unopinionated cases.
##### Upgrading to Cooperative Intercept Mode for package maintainers
If you are package maintainer and your package uses intercept handlers, you can update your intercept handlers to use Cooperative Intercept Mode. Suppose you have the following existing handler:
```ts
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
if (
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') ||
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg')
)
interceptedRequest.abort();
else interceptedRequest.continue();
});
```
To use Cooperative Intercept Mode, upgrade `continue()` and `abort()`:
```ts
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
if (
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') ||
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg')
)
interceptedRequest.abort('failed', 0);
else
interceptedRequest.continue(
interceptedRequest.continueRequestOverrides(),
0
);
});
```
With those simple upgrades, your handler now uses Cooperative Intercept Mode instead.
However, we recommend a slightly more robust solution because the above introduces several subtle issues:
1. **Backward compatibility.** If any handler still uses a Legacy Mode resolution (ie, does not specify a priority), that handler will resolve the interception immediately even if your handler runs first. This could cause disconcerting behavior for your users because suddenly your handler is not resolving the interception and a different handler is taking priority when all the user did was upgrade your package.
2. **Hard-coded priority.** Your package user has no ability to specify the default resolution priority for your handlers. This can become important when the user wishes to manipulate the priorities based on use case. For example, one user might want your package to take a high priority while another user might want it to take a low priority.
To resolve both of these issues, our recommended approach is to export a `setInterceptResolutionConfig()` from your package. The user can then call `setInterceptResolutionConfig()` to explicitly activate Cooperative Intercept Mode in your package so they aren't surprised by changes in how the interception is resolved. They can also optionally specify a custom priority using `setInterceptResolutionConfig(priority)` that works for their use case:
```ts
// Defaults to undefined which preserves Legacy Mode behavior
let _priority = undefined;
// Export a module configuration function
export const setInterceptResolutionConfig = (priority = 0) =>
(_priority = priority);
/**
* Note that this handler uses `DEFAULT_INTERCEPT_RESOLUTION_PRIORITY` to "pass" on this request. It is important to use
* the default priority when your handler has no opinion on the request and the intent is to continue() by default.
*/
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
if (
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') ||
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg')
)
interceptedRequest.abort('failed', _priority);
else
interceptedRequest.continue(
interceptedRequest.continueRequestOverrides(),
DEFAULT_INTERCEPT_RESOLUTION_PRIORITY // Unopinionated continuation
);
});
```
If your package calls for more fine-grained control over resolution priorities, use a config pattern like this:
```ts
interface InterceptResolutionConfig {
abortPriority?: number;
continuePriority?: number;
}
// This approach supports multiple priorities based on situational
// differences. You could, for example, create a config that
// allowed separate priorities for PNG vs JPG.
const DEFAULT_CONFIG: InterceptResolutionConfig = {
abortPriority: undefined, // Default to Legacy Mode
continuePriority: undefined, // Default to Legacy Mode
};
// Defaults to undefined which preserves Legacy Mode behavior
let _config: Partial<InterceptResolutionConfig> = {};
export const setInterceptResolutionConfig = (
config: InterceptResolutionConfig
) => (_config = {...DEFAULT_CONFIG, ...config});
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
if (
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') ||
interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg')
) {
interceptedRequest.abort('failed', _config.abortPriority);
} else {
// Here we use a custom-configured priority to allow for Opinionated
// continuation.
// We would only want to allow this if we had a very clear reason why
// some use cases required Opinionated continuation.
interceptedRequest.continue(
interceptedRequest.continueRequestOverrides(),
_config.continuePriority // Why would we ever want priority!==0 here?
);
}
});
```
The above solutions ensure backward compatibility while also allowing the user to adjust the importance of your package in the resolution chain when Cooperative Intercept Mode is being used. Your package continues to work as expected until the user has fully upgraded their code and all third party packages to use Cooperative Intercept Mode. If any handler or package still uses Legacy Mode, your package can still operate in Legacy Mode too.

2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- `viewport` <[Object]>
- `width` <[number]> page width in pixels. **required**
- `height` <[number]> page height in pixels. **required**
- `deviceScaleFactor` <[number]> Specify device scale factor (can be thought of as DPR). Defaults to `1`.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- `isMobile` <[boolean]> Whether the `meta viewport` tag is taken into account. Defaults to `false`.
- `hasTouch`<[boolean]> Specifies if viewport supports touch events. Defaults to `false`
- `isLandscape` <[boolean]> Specifies if viewport is in landscape mode. Defaults to `false`.
- returns: <[Promise]>
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
> **NOTE** in certain cases, setting viewport will reload the page in order to set the `isMobile` or `hasTouch` properties.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
In the case of multiple pages in a single browser, each page can have its own viewport size.
`page.setViewport` will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should set the viewport before navigating to the page.
```js
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setViewport({
width: 640,
height: 480,
deviceScaleFactor: 1,
});
await page.goto('https://example.com');
```
#### page.tap(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to tap. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be tapped.
- returns: <[Promise]>
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.touchscreen](#pagetouchscreen) to tap in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().tap(selector)](#frametapselector).
#### page.target()
- returns: <[Target]> a target this page was created from.
#### page.title()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>> The page's title.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().title()](#frametitle).
#### page.touchscreen
- returns: <[Touchscreen]>
#### page.tracing
- returns: <[Tracing]>
#### page.type(selector, text[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to type into. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.
- `options` <[Object]>

2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00
- returns: <[Promise]>
Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
2017-10-07 15:32:40 +00:00
To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`keyboard.press`](#keyboardpresskey-options).
```js
await page.type('#mytextarea', 'Hello'); // Types instantly
await page.type('#mytextarea', 'World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().type(selector, text[, options])](#frametypeselector-text-options).
#### page.url()

#### page.waitFor(selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout[, options[, ...args]])
- `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` <[string]|[number]|[function]> A [selector], predicate or timeout to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible. Defaults to `false`.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden. Defaults to `false`.
- `polling` <[string]|[number]> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `raf` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `mutation` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a JSHandle of the success value
2020-07-28 08:37:49 +00:00
**This method is deprecated**. You should use the more explicit API methods available:
- `page.waitForSelector`
- `page.waitForXPath`
- `page.waitForFunction`
- `page.waitForTimeout`
2020-07-28 08:37:49 +00:00
This method behaves differently with respect to the type of the first parameter:
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `string`, then the first argument is treated as a [selector] or [xpath], depending on whether or not it starts with '//', and the method is a shortcut for
[page.waitForSelector](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options) or [page.waitForXPath](#pagewaitforxpathxpath-options)
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `function`, then the first argument is treated as a predicate to wait for and the method is a shortcut for [page.waitForFunction()](#pagewaitforfunctionpagefunction-options-args).
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `number`, then the first argument is treated as a timeout in milliseconds and the method returns a promise which resolves after the timeout
- otherwise, an exception is thrown
```js
// wait for selector
await page.waitFor('.foo');
// wait for 1 second
await page.waitFor(1000);
// wait for predicate
await page.waitFor(() => !!document.querySelector('.foo'));
```
To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitFor` function:
```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitFor(
selector => !!document.querySelector(selector),
{},
selector
);
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitFor(selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout[, options[, ...args]])](#framewaitforselectororfunctionortimeout-options-args).
#### page.waitForFileChooser([options])
- `options` <[WaitTimeoutOptions](#waittimeoutoptions)> Optional waiting parameters
- returns: <[Promise]<[FileChooser]>> A promise that resolves after a page requests a file picker.
> **NOTE** In non-headless Chromium, this method results in the native file picker dialog **not showing up** for the user.
This method is typically coupled with an action that triggers file choosing.
The following example clicks a button that issues a file chooser and then
responds with `/tmp/myfile.pdf` as if a user has selected this file.
```js
const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForFileChooser(),
page.click('#upload-file-button'), // some button that triggers file selection
]);
await fileChooser.accept(['/tmp/myfile.pdf']);
```
> **NOTE** This must be called _before_ the file chooser is launched. It will not return a currently active file chooser.
> **NOTE** “File picker” refers to the operating systems file selection UI that lets you browse to a folder and select file(s) to be shared with the web app. Its not the “Save file” dialog.
#### page.waitForFrame(urlOrPredicate[, options])
- `urlOrPredicate` <[string]|[Function]> A URL or predicate to wait for.
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Frame]>> Promise which resolves to the matched frame.
```js
const frame = await page.waitForFrame(async frame => {
return frame.name() === 'Test';
});
```
#### page.waitForFunction(pageFunction[, options[, ...args]])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
- `polling` <[string]|[number]> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `raf` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `mutation` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves when the `pageFunction` returns a truthy value. It resolves to a JSHandle of the truthy value.
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
The `waitForFunction` can be used to observe viewport size change:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
const watchDog = page.waitForFunction('window.innerWidth < 100');
await page.setViewport({width: 50, height: 50});
await watchDog;
await browser.close();
})();
```
To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitForFunction` function:
```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitForFunction(
selector => !!document.querySelector(selector),
{},
selector
);
```
The predicate of `page.waitForFunction` can be asynchronous too:
```js
const username = 'github-username';
await page.waitForFunction(
async username => {
const githubResponse = await fetch(
`https://api.github.com/users/${username}`
);
const githubUser = await githubResponse.json();
// show the avatar
const img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = githubUser.avatar_url;
// wait 3 seconds
await new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(resolve, 3000));
img.remove();
},
{},
username
);
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitForFunction(pageFunction[, options[, ...args]])](#framewaitforfunctionpagefunction-options-args).
#### page.waitForNavigation([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
- `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
- `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to History API usage, the navigation will resolve with `null`.
This resolves when the page navigates to a new URL or reloads. It is useful when you run code
that will indirectly cause the page to navigate. Consider this example:
```js
const [response] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation(), // The promise resolves after navigation has finished
page.click('a.my-link'), // Clicking the link will indirectly cause a navigation
]);
```
**NOTE** Usage of the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) to change the URL is considered a navigation.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitForNavigation(options)](#framewaitfornavigationoptions).
#### page.waitForNetworkIdle([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.

request =>
request.url() === 'http://example.com' && request.method() === 'GET'
);
return firstRequest.url();
```

- returns: <[Promise]<[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the matched response.
```js
const firstResponse = await page.waitForResponse(
'https://example.com/resource'
);
const finalResponse = await page.waitForResponse(
response =>
response.url() === 'https://example.com' && response.status() === 200
);
const finalResponse = await page.waitForResponse(async response => {
return (await response.text()).includes('<html>');
});
return finalResponse.ok();
```
#### page.waitForSelector(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and selector is not found in DOM.
Wait for the `selector` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `selector` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the selector doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.
This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
let currentURL;
page
.waitForSelector('img')
.then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));

#### page.workers()
2020-12-22 12:34:44 +00:00
- returns: <[Array]<[WebWorker]>>
This method returns all of the dedicated [WebWorkers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) associated with the page.
> **NOTE** This does not contain ServiceWorkers

### class: WebWorker
The WebWorker class represents a [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).
The events `workercreated` and `workerdestroyed` are emitted on the page object to signal the worker lifecycle.
```js
page.on('workercreated', worker =>
console.log('Worker created: ' + worker.url())
);
page.on('workerdestroyed', worker =>
console.log('Worker destroyed: ' + worker.url())
);
console.log('Current workers:');

- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `worker.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `worker.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
Shortcut for [(await worker.executionContext()).evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)](#executioncontextevaluatepagefunction-args).
#### webWorker.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.
The only difference between `worker.evaluate` and `worker.evaluateHandle` is that `worker.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `worker.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].
Shortcut for [(await worker.executionContext()).evaluateHandle(pageFunction, ...args)](#executioncontextevaluatehandlepagefunction-args).
#### webWorker.executionContext()
- returns: <[Promise]<[ExecutionContext]>>
#### webWorker.url()
- returns: <[string]>
### class: Accessibility
The Accessibility class provides methods for inspecting Chromium's accessibility tree. The accessibility tree is used by assistive technology such as [screen readers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader) or [switches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_access).
Accessibility is a very platform-specific thing. On different platforms, there are different screen readers that might have wildly different output.
2019-11-02 22:42:29 +00:00
Blink - Chrome's rendering engine - has a concept of "accessibility tree", which is then translated into different platform-specific APIs. Accessibility namespace gives users
access to the Blink Accessibility Tree.
Most of the accessibility tree gets filtered out when converting from Blink AX Tree to Platform-specific AX-Tree or by assistive technologies themselves. By default, Puppeteer tries to approximate this filtering, exposing only the "interesting" nodes of the tree.
#### accessibility.snapshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
- `interestingOnly` <[boolean]> Prune uninteresting nodes from the tree. Defaults to `true`.
- `root` <[ElementHandle]> The root DOM element for the snapshot. Defaults to the whole page.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>> An [AXNode] object with the following properties:
- `role` <[string]> The [role](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#usage_intro).
- `name` <[string]> A human readable name for the node.
- `value` <[string]|[number]> The current value of the node.
- `description` <[string]> An additional human readable description of the node.
- `keyshortcuts` <[string]> Keyboard shortcuts associated with this node.
- `roledescription` <[string]> A human readable alternative to the role.
- `valuetext` <[string]> A description of the current value.
- `disabled` <[boolean]> Whether the node is disabled.
- `expanded` <[boolean]> Whether the node is expanded or collapsed.
- `focused` <[boolean]> Whether the node is focused.
- `modal` <[boolean]> Whether the node is [modal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window).
- `multiline` <[boolean]> Whether the node text input supports multiline.
- `multiselectable` <[boolean]> Whether more than one child can be selected.
- `readonly` <[boolean]> Whether the node is read-only.
- `required` <[boolean]> Whether the node is required.
- `selected` <[boolean]> Whether the node is selected in its parent node.
- `checked` <[boolean]|"mixed"> Whether the checkbox is checked, or "mixed".
- `pressed` <[boolean]|"mixed"> Whether the toggle button is checked, or "mixed".
- `level` <[number]> The level of a heading.
- `valuemin` <[number]> The minimum value in a node.
- `valuemax` <[number]> The maximum value in a node.
- `autocomplete` <[string]> What kind of autocomplete is supported by a control.
- `haspopup` <[string]> What kind of popup is currently being shown for a node.
- `invalid` <[string]> Whether and in what way this node's value is invalid.
- `orientation` <[string]> Whether the node is oriented horizontally or vertically.
- `children` <[Array]<[Object]>> Child [AXNode]s of this node, if any.
Captures the current state of the accessibility tree. The returned object represents the root accessible node of the page.
> **NOTE** The Chromium accessibility tree contains nodes that go unused on most platforms and by
> most screen readers. Puppeteer will discard them as well for an easier to process tree,
> unless `interestingOnly` is set to `false`.
An example of dumping the entire accessibility tree:
```js
const snapshot = await page.accessibility.snapshot();
console.log(snapshot);
```
An example of logging the focused node's name:
```js
const snapshot = await page.accessibility.snapshot();
const node = findFocusedNode(snapshot);
console.log(node && node.name);
function findFocusedNode(node) {
if (node.focused) return node;
for (const child of node.children || []) {
const foundNode = findFocusedNode(child);
return foundNode;
}
return null;
}
```
### class: Keyboard
Keyboard provides an API for managing a virtual keyboard. The high-level API is [`keyboard.type`](#keyboardtypetext-options), which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page.
For finer control, you can use [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options), [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey), and [`keyboard.sendCharacter`](#keyboardsendcharacterchar) to manually fire events as if they were generated from a real keyboard.
An example of holding down `Shift` in order to select and delete some text:
```js
await page.keyboard.type('Hello World!');
await page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
await page.keyboard.down('Shift');
for (let i = 0; i < ' World'.length; i++)
await page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
await page.keyboard.up('Shift');
await page.keyboard.press('Backspace');
// Result text will end up saying 'Hello!'
```
An example of pressing `A`
```js
await page.keyboard.down('Shift');
await page.keyboard.press('KeyA');
await page.keyboard.up('Shift');
```
> **NOTE** On macOS, keyboard shortcuts like `⌘ A` -> Select All does not work. See [#1313](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/1313)
#### keyboard.down(key[, options])
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [USKeyboardLayout] for a list of all key names.
- `options` <[Object]>
- `text` <[string]> If specified, generates an input event with this text.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Dispatches a `keydown` event.
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also be generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
If `key` is a modifier key, `Shift`, `Meta`, `Control`, or `Alt`, subsequent key presses will be sent with that modifier active. To release the modifier key, use [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
After the key is pressed once, subsequent calls to [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options) will have [repeat](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/repeat) set to true. To release the key, use [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO influence `keyboard.down`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.
#### keyboard.press(key[, options])
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [USKeyboardLayout] for a list of all key names.
- `options` <[Object]>
- `text` <[string]> If specified, generates an input event with this text.
- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `keydown` and `keyup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also be generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO affect `keyboard.press`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.
Shortcut for [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options) and [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
#### keyboard.sendCharacter(char)
- `char` <[string]> Character to send into the page.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Dispatches a `keypress` and `input` event. This does not send a `keydown` or `keyup` event.
```js
page.keyboard.sendCharacter('嗨');
```
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO NOT affect `keyboard.sendCharacter`. Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.
#### keyboard.type(text[, options])
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.
- `options` <[Object]>
- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`keyboard.press`](#keyboardpresskey-options).
```js
await page.keyboard.type('Hello'); // Types instantly
await page.keyboard.type('World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO NOT affect `keyboard.type`. Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.
#### keyboard.up(key)
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to release, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [USKeyboardLayout] for a list of all key names.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Dispatches a `keyup` event.
### class: Mouse
The Mouse class operates in main-frame CSS pixels relative to the top-left corner of the viewport.
Every `page` object has its own Mouse, accessible with [`page.mouse`](#pagemouse).
```js
// Using page.mouse to trace a 100x100 square.
await page.mouse.move(0, 0);
await page.mouse.down();
await page.mouse.move(0, 100);
await page.mouse.move(100, 100);
await page.mouse.move(100, 0);
await page.mouse.move(0, 0);
await page.mouse.up();
```
Note that the mouse events trigger synthetic `MouseEvent`s.
This means that it does not fully replicate the functionality of what a normal user would be able to do with their mouse.
For example, dragging and selecting text is not possible using `page.mouse`.
Instead, you can use the [`DocumentOrShadowRoot.getSelection()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DocumentOrShadowRoot/getSelection) functionality implemented in the platform.
For example, if you want to select all content between nodes:
```js
await page.evaluate(
(from, to) => {
const selection = from.getRootNode().getSelection();
const range = document.createRange();
range.setStartBefore(from);
range.setEndAfter(to);
selection.removeAllRanges();
selection.addRange(range);
},
fromJSHandle,
toJSHandle
);
```
If you then would want to copy-paste your selection, you can use the clipboard API:
```js
// The clipboard API does not allow you to copy, unless the tab is focused.
await page.bringToFront();
await page.evaluate(() => {
// Copy the selected content to the clipboard
document.execCommand('copy');
// Obtain the content of the clipboard as a string
return navigator.clipboard.readText();
});
```
Note that if you want access to the clipboard API, you have to give it permission to do so:
```js
await browser
.defaultBrowserContext()
.overridePermissions('<your origin>', ['clipboard-read', 'clipboard-write']);
```

### class: Tracing
2017-08-20 21:32:53 +00:00
You can use [`tracing.start`](#tracingstartoptions) and [`tracing.stop`](#tracingstop) to create a trace file which can be opened in Chrome DevTools or [timeline viewer](https://chromedevtools.github.io/timeline-viewer/).
```js
await page.tracing.start({path: 'trace.json'});

### class: FileChooser
[FileChooser] objects are returned via the ['page.waitForFileChooser'](#pagewaitforfilechooseroptions) method.
File choosers let you react to the page requesting for file(s) to be loaded by the web app. (This file chooser does not cover the “Save file” dialog.)
An example of using [FileChooser]:
```js
const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForFileChooser(),
page.click('#upload-file-button'), // some button that triggers file selection
]);
await fileChooser.accept(['/tmp/myfile.pdf']);
```
> **NOTE** In browsers, only one file chooser can be opened at a time.
> All file choosers must be accepted or canceled. Not doing so will prevent subsequent file choosers from appearing.
#### fileChooser.accept(filePaths)
- `filePaths` <[Array]<[string]>> Accept the file chooser request with given paths. If some of the `filePaths` are relative paths, then they are resolved relative to the [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- returns: <[Promise]>
#### fileChooser.cancel()
Closes the file chooser without selecting any files.
#### fileChooser.isMultiple()
- returns: <[boolean]> Whether file chooser allow for [multiple](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/file#attr-multiple) file selection.
### class: Dialog
[Dialog] objects are dispatched by page via the ['dialog'](#event-dialog) event.
An example of using `Dialog` class:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
page.on('dialog', async dialog => {
console.log(dialog.message());
await dialog.dismiss();
await browser.close();
});
page.evaluate(() => alert('1'));
})();
```
#### dialog.accept([promptText])
- `promptText` <[string]> A text to enter in prompt. Does not cause any effects if the dialog's `type` is not prompt.
2017-08-21 02:54:05 +00:00
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the dialog has been accepted.
#### dialog.defaultValue()
- returns: <[string]> If dialog is prompt, returns default prompt value. Otherwise, returns empty string.
#### dialog.dismiss()
2017-08-21 02:54:05 +00:00

#### consoleMessage.location()
- returns: <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of the resource if known or `undefined` otherwise.
- `lineNumber` <[number]> 0-based line number in the resource if known or `undefined` otherwise.
- `columnNumber` <[number]> 0-based column number in the resource if known or `undefined` otherwise.
#### consoleMessage.stackTrace()

#### consoleMessage.type()
- returns: <[string]>
One of the following values: `'log'`, `'debug'`, `'info'`, `'error'`, `'warning'`, `'dir'`, `'dirxml'`, `'table'`, `'trace'`, `'clear'`, `'startGroup'`, `'startGroupCollapsed'`, `'endGroup'`, `'assert'`, `'profile'`, `'profileEnd'`, `'count'`, `'timeEnd'`.
### class: Frame
At every point of time, page exposes its current frame tree via the [page.mainFrame()](#pagemainframe) and [frame.childFrames()](#framechildframes) methods.
[Frame] object's lifecycle is controlled by three events, dispatched on the page object:
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
- ['frameattached'](#event-frameattached) - fired when the frame gets attached to the page. A Frame can be attached to the page only once.
- ['framenavigated'](#event-framenavigated) - fired when the frame commits navigation to a different URL.
- ['framedetached'](#event-framedetached) - fired when the frame gets detached from the page. A Frame can be detached from the page only once.
An example of dumping frame tree:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html');
dumpFrameTree(page.mainFrame(), '');
await browser.close();
function dumpFrameTree(frame, indent) {
console.log(indent + frame.url());
for (const child of frame.childFrames()) {
dumpFrameTree(child, indent + ' ');
}
}
})();
```
An example of getting text from an iframe element:
```js
const frame = page.frames().find(frame => frame.name() === 'myframe');
const text = await frame.$eval('.selector', element => element.textContent);
console.log(text);
```
#### frame.$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to ElementHandle pointing to the frame element.
The method queries frame for the selector. If there's no such element within the frame, the method resolves to `null`.
#### frame.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>> Promise which resolves to ElementHandles pointing to the frame elements.
The method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the frame. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.
#### frame.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))` within the frame and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const divsCounts = await frame.$$eval('div', divs => divs.length);
```
#### frame.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the frame and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const searchValue = await frame.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
const preloadHref = await frame.$eval('link[rel=preload]', el => el.href);
const html = await frame.$eval('.main-container', e => e.outerHTML);
```
#### frame.$x(expression)
- `expression` <[string]> Expression to [evaluate](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/evaluate).
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>
The method evaluates the XPath expression relative to the frame document as its context node. If there are no such elements, the method resolves to an empty array.
#### frame.addScriptTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of a script to be added.
- `path` <[string]> Path to the JavaScript file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- `content` <[string]> Raw JavaScript content to be injected into frame.
- `type` <[string]> Script type. Use 'module' in order to load a Javascript ES6 module. See [script](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script) for more details.
- `id` <[string]> id attribute to add to the script tag.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the script's onload fires or when the script content was injected into frame.
Adds a `<script>` tag into the page with the desired URL or content.
#### frame.addStyleTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `url` <[string]> URL of the `<link>` tag.
- `path` <[string]> Path to the CSS file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- `content` <[string]> Raw CSS content to be injected into frame.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the stylesheet's onload fires or when the CSS content was injected into frame.
Adds a `<link rel="stylesheet">` tag into the page with the desired URL or a `<style type="text/css">` tag with the content.
#### frame.childFrames()
- returns: <[Array]<[Frame]>>
#### frame.click(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to click. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be clicked.
- `options` <[Object]>
- `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"|"back"|"forward"> Defaults to `left`.
- `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if `click()` triggers a navigation event and there's a separate `page.waitForNavigation()` promise to be resolved, you may end up with a race condition that yields unexpected results. The correct pattern for click and wait for navigation is the following:
```js
const [response] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation(waitOptions),
frame.click(selector, clickOptions),
]);
```
#### frame.content()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>>
Gets the full HTML contents of the frame, including the doctype.
#### frame.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `frame.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `frame.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `frame.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `frame.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
```js
const result = await frame.evaluate(() => {
return Promise.resolve(8 * 7);
});
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```
A string can also be passed in instead of a function.
```js
console.log(await frame.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
```
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
[ElementHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `frame.evaluate`:
```js
const bodyHandle = await frame.$('body');
const html = await frame.evaluate(body => body.innerHTML, bodyHandle);
await bodyHandle.dispose();
```
#### frame.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.
The only difference between `frame.evaluate` and `frame.evaluateHandle` is that `frame.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function, passed to the `frame.evaluateHandle`, returns a [Promise], then `frame.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].
```js
const aWindowHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(() => Promise.resolve(window));
aWindowHandle; // Handle for the window object.
```
A string can also be passed in instead of a function.
```js
const aHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle('document'); // Handle for the 'document'.
```
[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `frame.evaluateHandle`:
```js
const aHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(
body => body.innerHTML,
aHandle
);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());
await resultHandle.dispose();
```
#### frame.executionContext()
- returns: <[Promise]<[ExecutionContext]>>
Returns promise that resolves to the frame's default execution context.
#### frame.focus(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to focus. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be focused.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully focused. The promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector` and focuses it.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
#### frame.goto(url[, options])
- `url` <[string]> URL to navigate frame to. The URL should include scheme, e.g. `https://`.
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
- `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
- `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `referer` <[string]> Referer header value. If provided it will take preference over the referer header value set by [page.setExtraHTTPHeaders()](#pagesetextrahttpheadersheaders).
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect.
`frame.goto` will throw an error if:
- there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates).
- target URL is invalid.
- the `timeout` is exceeded during navigation.
- the remote server does not respond or is unreachable.
- the main resource failed to load.
`frame.goto` will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error". The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling [response.status()](#httpresponsestatus).
> **NOTE** `frame.goto` either throws an error or returns a main resource response. The only exceptions are navigation to `about:blank` or navigation to the same URL with a different hash, which would succeed and return `null`.
> **NOTE** Headless mode doesn't support navigation to a PDF document. See the [upstream issue](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=761295).
#### frame.hover(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to hover. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be hovered.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully hovered. Promise gets rejected if there's no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to hover over the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
#### frame.isDetached()
- returns: <[boolean]>
2017-08-21 02:54:05 +00:00
Returns `true` if the frame has been detached, or `false` otherwise.
#### frame.isOOPFrame()
- returns: <[boolean]>
Returns `true` if the frame is an OOP frame, or `false` otherwise.
#### frame.name()
- returns: <[string]>
Returns frame's name attribute as specified in the tag.
If the name is empty, returns the id attribute instead.
> **NOTE** This value is calculated once when the frame is created, and will not update if the attribute is changed later.
#### frame.parentFrame()
- returns: <?[Frame]> Parent frame, if any. Detached frames and main frames return `null`.
#### frame.select(selector, ...values)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- `...values` <...[string]> Values of options to select. If the `<select>` has the `multiple` attribute, all values are considered, otherwise only the first one is taken into account.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[string]>>> An array of option values that have been successfully selected.
Triggers a `change` and `input` event once all the provided options have been selected.
If there's no `<select>` element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
```js
frame.select('select#colors', 'blue'); // single selection
frame.select('select#colors', 'red', 'green', 'blue'); // multiple selections
```
#### frame.setContent(html[, options])
- `html` <[string]> HTML markup to assign to the page.
- `options` <[Object]> Parameters which might have the following properties:
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds for resources to load, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider setting markup succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, setting content is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
- `load` - consider setting content to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
- `domcontentloaded` - consider setting content to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `networkidle0` - consider setting content to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `networkidle2` - consider setting content to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]>
#### frame.tap(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to tap. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be tapped.
- returns: <[Promise]>
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.touchscreen](#pagetouchscreen) to tap in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
#### frame.title()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>> The page's title.
#### frame.type(selector, text[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to type into. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.
- `options` <[Object]>
- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`keyboard.press`](#keyboardpresskey-options).
```js
await frame.type('#mytextarea', 'Hello'); // Types instantly
await frame.type('#mytextarea', 'World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```
#### frame.url()
- returns: <[string]>
Returns frame's URL.
#### frame.waitFor(selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout[, options[, ...args]])
- `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` <[string]|[number]|[function]> A [selector], predicate or timeout to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a JSHandle of the success value
2020-07-28 08:37:49 +00:00
**This method is deprecated**. You should use the more explicit API methods available:
- `frame.waitForSelector`
- `frame.waitForXPath`
- `frame.waitForFunction`
- `frame.waitForTimeout`
2020-07-28 08:37:49 +00:00
This method behaves differently with respect to the type of the first parameter:
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `string`, then the first argument is treated as a [selector] or [xpath], depending on whether or not it starts with '//', and the method is a shortcut for
2018-03-28 20:18:59 +00:00
[frame.waitForSelector](#framewaitforselectorselector-options) or [frame.waitForXPath](#framewaitforxpathxpath-options)
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `function`, then the first argument is treated as a predicate to wait for and the method is a shortcut for [frame.waitForFunction()](#framewaitforfunctionpagefunction-options-args).
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `number`, then the first argument is treated as a timeout in milliseconds and the method returns a promise which resolves after the timeout
- otherwise, an exception is thrown
```js
// wait for selector
await page.waitFor('.foo');
// wait for 1 second
await page.waitFor(1000);
// wait for predicate
await page.waitFor(() => !!document.querySelector('.foo'));
```
To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitFor` function:
```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitFor(
selector => !!document.querySelector(selector),
{},
selector
);
```
#### frame.waitForFunction(pageFunction[, options[, ...args]])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
- `polling` <[string]|[number]> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
- `raf` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
- `mutation` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves when the `pageFunction` returns a truthy value. It resolves to a JSHandle of the truthy value.
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
The `waitForFunction` can be used to observe viewport size change:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
const watchDog = page.mainFrame().waitForFunction('window.innerWidth < 100');
page.setViewport({width: 50, height: 50});
await watchDog;
await browser.close();
})();
```
To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitForFunction` function:
```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitForFunction(
selector => !!document.querySelector(selector),
{},
selector
);
```
#### frame.waitForNavigation([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
- `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
- `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
- `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to History API usage, the navigation will resolve with `null`.
This resolves when the frame navigates to a new URL. It is useful when you run code
that will indirectly cause the frame to navigate. Consider this example:
```js
const [response] = await Promise.all([
frame.waitForNavigation(), // The navigation promise resolves after navigation has finished
frame.click('a.my-link'), // Clicking the link will indirectly cause a navigation
]);
```
**NOTE** Usage of the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) to change the URL is considered a navigation.
#### frame.waitForSelector(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and selector is not found in DOM.
Wait for the `selector` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `selector` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the selector doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.
This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
let currentURL;
page
.mainFrame()
.waitForSelector('img')
.then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
for (currentURL of [
'https://example.com',
'https://google.com',
'https://bbc.com',
]) {
await page.goto(currentURL);
}
await browser.close();
})();
```
2020-07-28 08:37:49 +00:00
#### frame.waitForTimeout(milliseconds)
2020-07-28 08:37:49 +00:00
- `milliseconds` <[number]> The number of milliseconds to wait for.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves after the timeout has been completed.
2020-07-28 08:37:49 +00:00
Pauses script execution for the given number of seconds before continuing:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
page
.mainFrame()
2020-07-28 08:37:49 +00:00
.waitForTimeout(1000)
.then(() => console.log('Waited a second!'));
await browser.close();
})();
```
#### frame.waitForXPath(xpath[, options])
- `xpath` <[string]> A [xpath] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by xpath string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and xpath is not found in DOM.
Wait for the `xpath` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `xpath` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the xpath doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.
This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
let currentURL;
page
.mainFrame()
.waitForXPath('//img')
.then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
for (currentURL of [
'https://example.com',
'https://google.com',
'https://bbc.com',
]) {
await page.goto(currentURL);
}
await browser.close();
})();
```
### class: ExecutionContext
The class represents a context for JavaScript execution. A [Page] might have many execution contexts:
- each [frame](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe) has "default" execution context that is
always created after frame is attached to DOM. This context is returned by the [`frame.executionContext()`](#frameexecutioncontext) method.
- [Extensions](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions)'s content scripts create additional execution contexts.
Besides pages, execution contexts can be found in [workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).
#### executionContext.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in `executionContext`
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `executionContext.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `executionContext.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `executionContext.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `executionContext.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
```js
const executionContext = await page.mainFrame().executionContext();
const result = await executionContext.evaluate(() => Promise.resolve(8 * 7));
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```
A string can also be passed in instead of a function.
```js
console.log(await executionContext.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
```
[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `executionContext.evaluate`:
```js
const oneHandle = await executionContext.evaluateHandle(() => 1);
const twoHandle = await executionContext.evaluateHandle(() => 2);
const result = await executionContext.evaluate(
(a, b) => a + b,
oneHandle,
twoHandle
);
await oneHandle.dispose();
await twoHandle.dispose();
console.log(result); // prints '3'.
```
#### executionContext.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the `executionContext`
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.
The only difference between `executionContext.evaluate` and `executionContext.evaluateHandle` is that `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].
2018-03-13 14:42:37 +00:00
If the function passed to the `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `executionContext.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
```js
const context = await page.mainFrame().executionContext();
const aHandle = await context.evaluateHandle(() => Promise.resolve(self));
aHandle; // Handle for the global object.
```
A string can also be passed in instead of a function.
```js
const aHandle = await context.evaluateHandle('1 + 2'); // Handle for the '3' object.
```
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `executionContext.evaluateHandle`:
```js
const aHandle = await context.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await context.evaluateHandle(
body => body.innerHTML,
aHandle
);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue()); // prints body's innerHTML
await aHandle.dispose();
await resultHandle.dispose();
```
#### executionContext.frame()
- returns: <?[Frame]> Frame associated with this execution context.
> **NOTE** Not every execution context is associated with a frame. For example, workers and extensions have execution contexts that are not associated with frames.
#### executionContext.queryObjects(prototypeHandle)
- `prototypeHandle` <[JSHandle]> A handle to the object prototype.
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> A handle to an array of objects with this prototype
The method iterates the JavaScript heap and finds all the objects with the given prototype.
```js
// Create a Map object
await page.evaluate(() => (window.map = new Map()));
// Get a handle to the Map object prototype
const mapPrototype = await page.evaluateHandle(() => Map.prototype);
// Query all map instances into an array
const mapInstances = await page.queryObjects(mapPrototype);
// Count amount of map objects in heap
const count = await page.evaluate(maps => maps.length, mapInstances);
await mapInstances.dispose();
await mapPrototype.dispose();
```
### class: JSHandle
JSHandle represents an in-page JavaScript object. JSHandles can be created with the [page.evaluateHandle](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) method.
```js
const windowHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => window);
// ...
```
JSHandle prevents the referenced JavaScript object from garbage collection unless the handle is [disposed](#jshandledispose). JSHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated or the parent context gets destroyed.
JSHandle instances can be used as arguments in [`page.$eval()`](#pageevalselector-pagefunction-args), [`page.evaluate()`](#pageevaluatepagefunction-args) and [`page.evaluateHandle`](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) methods.
#### jsHandle.asElement()
- returns: <?[ElementHandle]>
Returns either `null` or the object handle itself if the object handle is an instance of [ElementHandle].
#### jsHandle.dispose()
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the object handle is successfully disposed.
The `jsHandle.dispose` method stops referencing the element handle.
#### jsHandle.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Object]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `handle.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet .retweets');
expect(await tweetHandle.evaluate(node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```
#### jsHandle.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.
This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
The only difference between `jsHandle.evaluate` and `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].
If the function passed to the `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
See [Page.evaluateHandle](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) for more details.
#### jsHandle.executionContext()
- returns: <[ExecutionContext]>
Returns execution context the handle belongs to.
#### jsHandle.getProperties()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Map]<[string], [JSHandle]>>>
The method returns a map with property names as keys and JSHandle instances for the property values.
```js
const handle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => ({window, document}));
const properties = await handle.getProperties();
const windowHandle = properties.get('window');
const documentHandle = properties.get('document');
await handle.dispose();
```
#### jsHandle.getProperty(propertyName)
- `propertyName` <[string]> property to get
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>>
Fetches a single property from the referenced object.
#### jsHandle.jsonValue()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>>
Returns a JSON representation of the object. If the object has a
[`toJSON`](<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify#toJSON()_behavior>)
function, it **will not be called**.
> **NOTE** The method will return an empty JSON object if the referenced object is not stringifiable. It will throw an error if the object has circular references.
### class: ElementHandle
- extends: [JSHandle]
2017-10-09 20:28:48 +00:00
ElementHandle represents an in-page DOM element. ElementHandles can be created with the [page.$](#pageselector) method.
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
const hrefElement = await page.$('a');
await hrefElement.click();
// ...
})();
```
ElementHandle prevents DOM element from garbage collection unless the handle is [disposed](#elementhandledispose). ElementHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated.
ElementHandle instances can be used as arguments in [`page.$eval()`](#pageevalselector-pagefunction-args) and [`page.evaluate()`](#pageevaluatepagefunction-args) methods.
#### elementHandle.$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query element for
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>>
The method runs `element.querySelector` within the page. If no element matches the selector, the return value resolves to `null`.
#### elementHandle.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query element for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>
The method runs `element.querySelectorAll` within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.
#### elementHandle.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the element and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```html
<div class="feed">
<div class="tweet">Hello!</div>
<div class="tweet">Hi!</div>
</div>
```
```js
const feedHandle = await page.$('.feed');
expect(
await feedHandle.$$eval('.tweet', nodes => nodes.map(n => n.innerText))
).toEqual(['Hello!', 'Hi!']);
```
#### elementHandle.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the element and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.like', node => node.innerText)).toBe('100');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.retweets', node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```
#### elementHandle.$x(expression)
- `expression` <[string]> Expression to [evaluate](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/evaluate).
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>
The method evaluates the XPath expression relative to the `elementHandle` as its context node. If there are no such elements, the method resolves to an empty array.
The `expression` should have the context node to be evaluated properly:
```js
const [childHandle] = await parentHandle.$x('./div');
```
#### elementHandle.asElement()
2018-07-16 22:07:54 +00:00
- returns: <[ElementHandle]>
#### elementHandle.boundingBox()
- returns: <[Promise]<?[Object]>>

- y <[number]>
- margin <[Array]<[Object]>> Margin box.
- x <[number]>
- y <[number]>
- width <[number]> Element's width.
- height <[number]> Element's height.
This method returns boxes of the element, or `null` if the element is not visible. Boxes are represented as an array of points; each Point is an object `{x, y}`. Box points are sorted clock-wise.
#### elementHandle.click([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
- `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"|"back"|"forward"> Defaults to `left`.
2017-08-16 06:04:16 +00:00

- `x` <number> x-offset in pixels relative to the top-left corner of the border box of the element.
- `y` <number> y-offset in pixels relative to the top-left corner of the border box of the element.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element is successfully clicked. Promise gets rejected if the element is detached from DOM.
This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
#### elementHandle.clickablePoint([offset])
- `offset` <[Object]>
2022-02-07 13:03:54 +00:00

- returns: <[Promise]>
This method will trigger a dragenter event from the given element.
#### elementHandle.dragOver([data])
- `data` <[Object]> drag data created from `element.drag`
- returns: <[Promise]>
This method will trigger a dragover event from the given element.
#### elementHandle.drop([data])
- `data` <[Object]> drag data created from `element.drag`
- returns: <[Promise]>

- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `handle.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Examples:
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet .retweets');
expect(await tweetHandle.evaluate(node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```
#### elementHandle.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.
This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
The only difference between `elementHandle.evaluate` and `elementHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].
If the function passed to the `elementHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `elementHandle.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
See [Page.evaluateHandle](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) for more details.
#### elementHandle.executionContext()
- returns: <[ExecutionContext]>
#### elementHandle.focus()
- returns: <[Promise]>
Calls [focus](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/focus) on the element.
#### elementHandle.getProperties()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Map]<[string], [JSHandle]>>>

const listHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => document.body.children);
const properties = await listHandle.getProperties();
const children = [];
for (const property of properties.values()) {
const element = property.asElement();
if (element) children.push(element);
}
children; // holds elementHandles to all children of document.body
```
#### elementHandle.getProperty(propertyName)
- `propertyName` <[string]> property to get
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>>
Fetches a single property from the objectHandle.
#### elementHandle.hover()

If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
#### elementHandle.isIntersectingViewport([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
- `threshold` <[number]> threshold for the intersection between 0 (no intersection) and 1 (full intersection). Defaults to 1.
- returns: <[Promise]<[boolean]>> Resolves to true if the element is visible in the current viewport.
#### elementHandle.jsonValue()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>>
Returns a JSON representation of the object. The JSON is generated by running [`JSON.stringify`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify) on the object in page and consequent [`JSON.parse`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/parse) in puppeteer.
> **NOTE** The method will throw if the referenced object is not stringifiable.
#### elementHandle.press(key[, options])
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [USKeyboardLayout] for a list of all key names.
- `options` <[Object]>

- returns: <[Promise]>
Focuses the element, and then uses [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options) and [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also be generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO affect `elementHandle.press`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.
#### elementHandle.screenshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Same options as in [page.screenshot](#pagescreenshotoptions).
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]|[Buffer]>> Promise which resolves to buffer or a base64 string (depending on the value of `options.encoding`) with captured screenshot.
This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.screenshot](#pagescreenshotoptions) to take a screenshot of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
#### elementHandle.select(...values)
- `...values` <...[string]> Values of options to select. If the `<select>` has the `multiple` attribute, all values are considered, otherwise only the first one is taken into account.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[string]>>> An array of option values that have been successfully selected.
Triggers a `change` and `input` event once all the provided options have been selected.
If there's no `<select>` element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
```js
handle.select('blue'); // single selection
handle.select('red', 'green', 'blue'); // multiple selections
```
#### elementHandle.tap()
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element is successfully tapped. Promise gets rejected if the element is detached from DOM.
This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [touchscreen.tap](#touchscreentapx-y) to tap in the center of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.
#### elementHandle.toString()
- returns: <[string]>
#### elementHandle.type(text[, options])
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.
- `options` <[Object]>
- `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Focuses the element, and then sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`elementHandle.press`](#elementhandlepresskey-options).
```js
await elementHandle.type('Hello'); // Types instantly
await elementHandle.type('World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```
An example of typing into a text field and then submitting the form:
```js
const elementHandle = await page.$('input');
await elementHandle.type('some text');
await elementHandle.press('Enter');
```
#### elementHandle.uploadFile(...filePaths)
- `...filePaths` <...[string]> Sets the value of the file input to these paths. If some of the `filePaths` are relative paths, then they are resolved relative to the [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- returns: <[Promise]>
This method expects `elementHandle` to point to an [input element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input).
#### elementHandle.waitForSelector(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters

- `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and selector is not found in DOM.
Wait for an element matching `selector` to appear within the `elementHandle`s subtree. If the `selector` already matches an element at the moment of calling the method, the promise returned by the method resolves immediately. If the selector doesnt appear after `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the promise rejects.
This method does not work across navigations or if the element is detached from DOM.
#### elementHandle.waitForXPath(xpath[, options])
- `xpath` <[string]> A [xpath] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters

- `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by xpath string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and xpath is not found in DOM.
Wait for the `xpath` to appear within the element. If at the moment of calling
the method the `xpath` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the xpath doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.
If `xpath` starts with `//` instead of `.//`, the dot will be appended automatically.
This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
let currentURL;
page
.waitForXPath('//img')
.then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
for (currentURL of [
'https://example.com',
'https://google.com',
'https://bbc.com',
]) {
await page.goto(currentURL);
}
await browser.close();
})();
```
### class: HTTPRequest
Whenever the page sends a request, such as for a network resource, the following events are emitted by Puppeteer's page:
- [`'request'`](#event-request) emitted when the request is issued by the page.
- [`'response'`](#event-response) emitted when/if the response is received for the request.
- [`'requestfinished'`](#event-requestfinished) emitted when the response body is downloaded and the request is complete.
If request fails at some point, then instead of `'requestfinished'` event (and possibly instead of 'response' event), the [`'requestfailed'`](#event-requestfailed) event is emitted.
> **NOTE** HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with `'requestfinished'` event.
If request gets a 'redirect' response, the request is successfully finished with the 'requestfinished' event, and a new request is issued to a redirected URL.
#### httpRequest.abort([errorCode], [priority])
- `errorCode` <[string]> Optional error code. Defaults to `failed`, could be
one of the following:
- `aborted` - An operation was aborted (due to user action).
- `accessdenied` - Permission to access a resource, other than the network, was denied.
- `addressunreachable` - The IP address is unreachable. This usually means
that there is no route to the specified host or network.
- `blockedbyclient` - The client chose to block the request.
- `blockedbyresponse` - The request failed because the response was delivered along with requirements which are not met ('X-Frame-Options' and 'Content-Security-Policy' ancestor checks, for instance).
- `connectionaborted` - A connection timed out as a result of not receiving an ACK for data sent.
- `connectionclosed` - A connection was closed (corresponding to a TCP FIN).
- `connectionfailed` - A connection attempt failed.
- `connectionrefused` - A connection attempt was refused.
- `connectionreset` - A connection was reset (corresponding to a TCP RST).
- `internetdisconnected` - The Internet connection has been lost.
- `namenotresolved` - The host name could not be resolved.
- `timedout` - An operation timed out.
- `failed` - A generic failure occurred.
- `priority` <[number]> - Optional intercept abort priority. If provided, intercept will be resolved using [cooperative](#cooperative-intercept-mode) handling rules. Otherwise, intercept will be resolved immediately.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Aborts request. To use this, request interception should be enabled with `page.setRequestInterception`.
Exception is immediately thrown if the request interception is not enabled.

2021-12-13 06:56:26 +00:00
- `priority` <[number]> - Optional intercept abort priority. If provided, intercept will be resolved using coopeative handling rules. Otherwise, intercept will be resolved immediately.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Continues request with optional request overrides. To use this, request interception should be enabled with `page.setRequestInterception`.
Exception is immediately thrown if the request interception is not enabled.
Note: Pass `DEFAULT_INTERCEPT_RESOLUTION_PRIORITY` to continue a request if your intent is to bypass/defer the request because
your handler has no opinion about it.
```js
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
// Override headers
const headers = Object.assign({}, request.headers(), {
foo: 'bar', // set "foo" header
origin: undefined, // remove "origin" header
});
request.continue({headers});
});
```
#### httpRequest.continueRequestOverrides()
- returns: <[Object]> Optional request overwrites, which can be one of the following:
- `url` <[string]> If set changes the request URL. This is not a redirect. The request will be silently forwarded to the new URL. For example, the address bar will show the original URL.

```js
page.on('requestfailed', request => {
console.log(request.url() + ' ' + request.failure().errorText);
});
```
#### httpRequest.finalizeInterceptions()
- returns: <[Promise<unknown>]>
When in Cooperative Intercept Mode, awaits pending interception handlers and then decides how to fulfill the request interception.
#### httpRequest.frame()

`InterceptResolutionAction` is one of:
- `abort` - The request will be aborted if no higher priority arises.
- `respond` - The request will be responded if no higher priority arises.
- `continue` - The request will be continued if no higher priority arises.
- `disabled` - Request interception is not currently enabled (see `page.setRequestInterception`).
- `none` - `abort/continue/respond` have not been called yet.
- `already-handled` - The interception has already been handled in Legacy Mode by a call to `abort/continue/respond` with
a `priority` of `undefined`. Subsequent calls to `abort/continue/respond` will throw an exception.
This example will `continue()` a request at a slightly higher priority than the current action if the interception has not
already handled and is not already being continued.
```js
page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
const {action, priority} = interceptedRequest.interceptResolutionState();
if (action === InterceptResolutionAction.AlreadyHandled) return;
if (action === InterceptResolutionAction.Continue) return;
// Change the action to `continue` and bump the priority so `continue` becomes the new winner
interceptedRequest.continue(
interceptedRequest.continueRequestOverrides(),
priority + 1
);
});
```
#### httpRequest.isInterceptResolutionHandled()

A `redirectChain` is a chain of requests initiated to fetch a resource.
- If there are no redirects and the request was successful, the chain will be empty.
- If a server responds with at least a single redirect, then the chain will
contain all the requests that were redirected.
`redirectChain` is shared between all the requests of the same chain.
For example, if the website `http://example.com` has a single redirect to
`https://example.com`, then the chain will contain one request:
```js
const response = await page.goto('http://example.com');
const chain = response.request().redirectChain();
console.log(chain.length); // 1
console.log(chain[0].url()); // 'http://example.com'
```
If the website `https://google.com` has no redirects, then the chain will be empty:
```js
const response = await page.goto('https://google.com');
const chain = response.request().redirectChain();
console.log(chain.length); // 0
```

- `priority` <[number]> - Optional intercept abort priority. If provided, intercept will be resolved using coopeative handling rules. Otherwise, intercept will be resolved immediately.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Fulfills request with given response. To use this, request interception should
be enabled with `page.setRequestInterception`. Exception is thrown if
request interception is not enabled.
An example of fulfilling all requests with 404 responses:
```js
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) return;
request.respond({
status: 404,
contentType: 'text/plain',
body: 'Not Found!',
});
});
```

#### coverage.startCSSCoverage([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Set of configurable options for coverage
- `resetOnNavigation` <[boolean]> Whether to reset coverage on every navigation. Defaults to `true`.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise that resolves when coverage is started
#### coverage.startJSCoverage([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Set of configurable options for coverage
- `resetOnNavigation` <[boolean]> Whether to reset coverage on every navigation. Defaults to `true`.
- `reportAnonymousScripts` <[boolean]> Whether anonymous scripts generated by the page should be reported. Defaults to `false`.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise that resolves when coverage is started
> **NOTE** Anonymous scripts are ones that don't have an associated URL. These are scripts that are dynamically created on the page using `eval` or `new Function`. If `reportAnonymousScripts` is set to `true`, anonymous scripts will have `pptr://__puppeteer_evaluation_script__` as their URL.
#### coverage.stopCSSCoverage()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[Object]>>> Promise that resolves to the array of coverage reports for all stylesheets
- `url` <[string]> StyleSheet URL
- `text` <[string]> StyleSheet content
- `ranges` <[Array]<[Object]>> StyleSheet ranges that were used. Ranges are sorted and non-overlapping.
- `start` <[number]> A start offset in text, inclusive
- `end` <[number]> An end offset in text, exclusive
> **NOTE** CSS Coverage doesn't include dynamically injected style tags without sourceURLs.
#### coverage.stopJSCoverage()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[Object]>>> Promise that resolves to the array of coverage reports for all scripts
- `url` <[string]> Script URL
- `text` <[string]> Script content
- `ranges` <[Array]<[Object]>> Script ranges that were executed. Ranges are sorted and non-overlapping.
- `start` <[number]> A start offset in text, inclusive
- `end` <[number]> An end offset in text, exclusive
> **NOTE** JavaScript Coverage doesn't include anonymous scripts by default. However, scripts with sourceURLs are
> reported.
### class: TimeoutError
- extends: [Error]
TimeoutError is emitted whenever certain operations are terminated due to timeout, e.g. [page.waitForSelector(selector[, options])](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options) or [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions).
### class: EventEmitter
A small EventEmitter class backed by [Mitt](https://github.com/developit/mitt/).
#### eventEmitter.addListener(event, handler)
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> the event to add the handler to.
- `handler` <[Function]> the event listener that will be added.
- returns: `this` so you can chain method calls
This method is identical to `on` and maintained for compatibility with Node's EventEmitter. We recommend using `on` by default.
#### eventEmitter.emit(event, [eventData])
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> the event to trigger.
- `eventData` <[Object]> additional data to send with the event.
- returns: `boolean`; `true` if there are any listeners for the event, `false` if there are none.
#### eventEmitter.listenerCount(event)
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> the event to check for listeners.
- returns: <[number]> the number of listeners for the given event.
#### eventEmitter.off(event, handler)
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> the event to remove the handler from.
- `handler` <[Function]> the event listener that will be removed.
- returns: `this` so you can chain method calls
#### eventEmitter.on(event, handler)
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> the event to add the handler to.
- `handler` <[Function]> the event listener that will be added.
- returns: `this` so you can chain method calls
#### eventEmitter.once(event, handler)
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> the event to add the handler to.
- `handler` <[Function]> the event listener that will be added.
- returns: `this` so you can chain method calls
#### eventEmitter.removeAllListeners([event])
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> optional argument to remove all listeners for the given event. If it's not given this method will remove all listeners for all events.
- returns: `this` so you can chain method calls
#### eventEmitter.removeListener(event, handler)
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> the event to remove the handler from.
- `handler` <[Function]> the event listener that will be removed.
- returns: `this` so you can chain method calls
This method is identical to `off` and maintained for compatibility with Node's EventEmitter. We recommend using `off` by default.

### interface: CustomQueryHandler
After [registration](#puppeteerregistercustomqueryhandlername-queryhandler), the handler can be used everywhere where a selector is expected by prepending the selection string with `<name>/`. The name is only allowed to consist of lower and upper case Latin letters.
Contains two functions `queryOne` and `queryAll` that are executed in the page context. `queryOne` should take an `Element` and a selector string as argument and return a single `Element` or `null` if no element is found. `queryAll` takes the same arguments but should instead return a `NodeList<Element>` or `Array<Element>` with all the elements that match the given query selector.
**NOTE:** Because the function code needs to be serialized, it is **not possible** to access anything outside its scope or use imports. See e.g. [the pierce handler](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/v13.5.2/src/common/QueryHandler.ts#L115) which has redundancies because of this limitation.

### interface: Selector
A selector is a [string] for querying elements in the page.
The default behavior is to regard the string as a [CSS selector] and query using `querySelector` or `querySelectorAll`.
If a selector string contains a forward slash `/` the selector is instead regarded as custom selector where everything before the slash is the [custom handler](#puppeteerregistercustomqueryhandlername-queryhandler) name and everything after is the selector: `<handler>/<selector>`.
Puppeteer ships with two such custom handlers pre-registered:
- `aria`: Queries the accessibilty tree for computed accessibility properties.
The selectors consist of an accessible name to query for and optionally
further aria attributes on the form `[<attribute>=<value>]`.
Currently, we only support the `name` and `role` attribute.
The following examples showcase how the syntax works wrt. querying:
- `title[role="heading"]` queries for elements with name 'title' and role 'heading'.
- `[role="img"]` queries for elements with role 'img' and any name.
- `label` queries for elements with name 'label' and any role.
- `[name=""][role="button"]` queries for elements with no name and role 'button'.
- `pierce`: Takes a [CSS selector] and queries the page using `querySelector` or `querySeletorAll` but pierces through shadow roots.
