# Page class

Page provides methods to interact with a single tab or [extension background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) in the browser.

:::note

One Browser instance might have multiple Page instances.

:::

#### Signature:

```typescript
export declare abstract class Page extends EventEmitter<PageEvents>
```

**Extends:** [EventEmitter](./puppeteer.eventemitter.md)&lt;[PageEvents](./puppeteer.pageevents.md)&gt;

## 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 `Page` class.

## Example 1

This example creates a page, navigates it to a URL, and then saves a screenshot:

```ts
import puppeteer from '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 extends from Puppeteer's [EventEmitter](./puppeteer.eventemitter.md) class and will emit various events which are documented in the [PageEvent](./puppeteer.pageevent.md) enum.

## Example 2

This example logs a message for a single page `load` event:

```ts
page.once('load', () => console.log('Page loaded!'));
```

To unsubscribe from events use the [EventEmitter.off()](./puppeteer.eventemitter.off.md) method:

```ts
function logRequest(interceptedRequest) {
  console.log('A request was made:', interceptedRequest.url());
}
page.on('request', logRequest);
// Sometime later...
page.off('request', logRequest);
```

</td><td>

</td><td>

The page's URL.

</td></tr>
<tr><td>

[viewport()](./puppeteer.page.viewport.md)

</td><td>
