## Puppeteer class
The main Puppeteer class. Provides the [launch](./puppeteer.puppeteer.launch.md) method to launch a browser.
When you `require` or `import` the Puppeteer npm package you get back an instance of this class.
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.
## Example
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();
await page.goto('https://www.google.com');
// other actions...
await browser.close();
})();
```
Once you have created a `page` you have access to a large API to interact with the page, navigate, or find certain elements in that page. The [\`page\` documentation](./puppeteer.page.md) lists all the available methods.
