# Puppeteer class

The main Puppeteer class.

IMPORTANT: if you are using Puppeteer in a Node environment, you will get an instance of [PuppeteerNode](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.md) when you import or require `puppeteer`. That class extends `Puppeteer`, so has all the methods documented below as well as all that are defined on [PuppeteerNode](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.md).

**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare class Puppeteer
```

## Remarks

The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `Puppeteer` class.
