API Reference
Classes
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| Accessibility | The Accessibility class provides methods for inspecting Chromium's accessibility tree. The accessibility tree is used by assistive technology such as screen readers or switches. |
| Browser | A Browser is created when Puppeteer connects to a Chromium instance, either through PuppeteerNode.launch() or Puppeteer.connect(). |
| BrowserContext | 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. |
| BrowserFetcher | BrowserFetcher can download and manage different versions of Chromium and Firefox. |
| CDPSession | The CDPSession instances are used to talk raw Chrome Devtools Protocol. |
| Connection | |
| ConsoleMessage | ConsoleMessage objects are dispatched by page via the 'console' event. |
| Coverage | The Coverage class provides methods to gathers information about parts of JavaScript and CSS that were used by the page. |
| CSSCoverage | |
| CustomError | |
| Dialog | Dialog instances are dispatched by the Page via the dialog event. |
| ElementHandle | ElementHandle represents an in-page DOM element. |
| EventEmitter | The EventEmitter class that many Puppeteer classes extend. |
| ExecutionContext | |
| FileChooser | File choosers let you react to the page requesting for a file. |
| Frame | Represents a DOM frame. To understand frames, you can think of frames as |
| HTTPRequest | Represents an HTTP request sent by a page. |
| HTTPResponse | The HTTPResponse class represents responses which are received by the Page class. |
| JSCoverage | |
| JSHandle | Represents a reference to a JavaScript object. Instances can be created using Page.evaluateHandle(). Handles prevent the referenced JavaScript object from being garbage-collected unless the handle is purposely disposed. JSHandles are auto-disposed when their associated frame is navigated away or the parent context gets destroyed. Handles can be used as arguments for any evaluation function such as Page.$eval(), Page.evaluate(), and Page.evaluateHandle(). They are resolved to their referenced object. |
| Keyboard | Keyboard provides an api for managing a virtual keyboard. The high level api is Keyboard.type(), which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page. |
| Mouse | The Mouse class operates in main-frame CSS pixels relative to the top-left corner of the viewport. |
| Page | Page provides methods to interact with a single tab or extension background page in Chromium. :::note One Browser instance might have multiple Page instances. ::: |
| ProtocolError | ProtocolError is emitted whenever there is an error from the protocol. |
| Puppeteer | The main Puppeteer class. IMPORTANT: if you are using Puppeteer in a Node environment, you will get an instance of PuppeteerNode when you import or require |
| PuppeteerNode | Extends the main Puppeteer class with Node specific behaviour for fetching and downloading browsers. If you're using Puppeteer in a Node environment, this is the class you'll get when you run |
| SecurityDetails | The SecurityDetails class represents the security details of a response that was received over a secure connection. |
| Target | |
| TimeoutError | TimeoutError is emitted whenever certain operations are terminated due to timeout. |
| Touchscreen | The Touchscreen class exposes touchscreen events. |
| Tracing | The Tracing class exposes the tracing audit interface. |
| WebWorker | This class represents a WebWorker. |
