Puppeteer API

Puppeteer

Puppeteer

Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chromium over the DevTools Protocol.

Puppeteer provides a top-level require which has a Browser class. The following is a typical example of using a Browser class to drive automation:

const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.newPage().then(async page => {
  await page.navigate('https://google.com');
  // other actions...
  browser.close();
});

Emulation

Puppeteer supports device emulation with two primitives:

page.setUserAgent(userAgent)
page.setViewport(viewport)

To aid emulation, puppeteer provides a list of device descriptors which could be obtained via the require('puppeteer/DeviceDescriptors') command. Below is an example of emulating iPhone 6 in puppeteer:

const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const devices = require('puppeteer/DeviceDescriptors');
const iPhone = devices['iPhone 6'];
const browser = new Browser();
browser.newPage().then(async page => {
  await Promise.all([
    page.setUserAgent(iPhone.userAgent),
    page.setViewport(iPhone.viewport)
  ]);
  await page.navigate('https://google.com');
  // other actions...
  browser.close();
});

List of all available devices is available in the source code: DeviceDescriptors.js.

class: Browser

Browser manages a browser instance, creating it with a predefined settings, opening and closing pages. Instantiating Browser class does not necessarily result in launching browser; the instance will be launched when the need will arise.

A typical scenario of using Browser is opening a new page and navigating it to a desired URL:

const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.newPage().then(async page => {
  await page.navigate('https://example.com');
  browser.close();
})

new Browser([options])

options <Object> Set of configurable options to set on the browser. Can have the following fields:
- headless <boolean> Wether to run chromium in headless mode. Defaults to true.
- executablePath <string> Path to a chromium executable to run instead of bundled chromium.
- args <Array<string>> Additional arguments to pass to the chromium instance. List of chromium flags could be found here.

browser.close()

Closes browser with all the pages (if any were opened). The browser object itself is considered to be disposed and could not be used anymore.

browser.newPage()

returns: <Promise<Page>> Promise which resolves to a new Page object.

browser.stderr

<stream.Readable>

A Readable Stream that represents the browser process's stderr. For example, stderr could be piped into process.stderr:

const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.stderr.pipe(process.stderr);
browser.version().then(version => {
  console.log(version);
  browser.close();
});

browser.stdout

<stream.Readable>

A Readable Stream that represents the browser process's stdout. For example, stdout could be piped into process.stdout:

const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);
browser.version().then(version => {
  console.log(version);
  browser.close();
});

browser.version()

returns: <Promise<string>> String describing browser version. For headless chromium, this is similar to HeadlessChrome/61.0.3153.0. For non-headless, this is Chrome/61.0.3153.0.

Note

the format of browser.version() is not fixed and might change with future releases of the library.

class: Page

Page provides methods to interact with browser page. Page could be thought about as a browser tab, so one Browser instance might have multiple Page instances.

An example of creating a page, navigating it to a URL and saving screenshot as screenshot.png:

const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.newPage().then(async page =>
  await page.navigate('https://example.com');
  await page.screenshot({path: 'screenshot.png'});
  browser.close();
});

event: 'console'

<string>

Emitted when a page calls one of console API methods, e.g. console.log or console.dir.

If multiple arguments are passed over to the console API call, these arguments are dispatched in an event.

An example of handling console event:

page.on('console', (...args) => {
  for (let i =0; i < args.length; ++i)
    console.log(`${i}: ${args[i]}`);
});
page.evaluate(() => console.log(5, 'hello', {foo: 'bar'}));

event: 'dialog'

<Dialog>

Emitted when a javascript dialog, such as alert, prompt, confirm or beforeunload, gets opened on the page. Puppeteer can take action to the dialog via dialog's accept or dismiss methods.

event: 'frameattached'

<Frame>

Emitted when a frame gets attached.

event: 'framedetached'

<Frame>

Emitted when a frame gets detached.

event: 'framenavigated'

<Frame>

Emitted when a frame committed navigation.

event: 'load'

Emitted when a page's load event was dispatched.

event: 'pageerror'

<string>

Emitted when an unhandled exception happens on the page. The only argument of the event holds the exception message.

event: 'request'

<Request>

Emitted when a page issues a request. The request object is a read-only object. In order to intercept and mutate requests, see page.setRequestInterceptor

event: 'requestfailed'

<Request>

Emitted when a request is failed.

event: 'requestfinished'

<Request>

Emitted when a request is successfully finished.

event: 'response'

<Response>

Emitted when a response is received.

page.$(selector, pageFunction, ...args)

selector <string> A selector to be matched in the page
pageFunction <function(Element)> Function to be evaluated in-page with first element matching selector
...args <...string> Arguments to pass to pageFunction
returns: <Promise<Object>> Promise which resolves to function return value.

Example:

const outerhtml = await page.$('#box', e => e.outerHTML);

Shortcut for page.mainFrame().$(selector, pageFunction, ...args).

page.$$(selector, pageFunction, ...args)

selector <string> A selector to be matched in the page
pageFunction <function(Element)> Function to be evaluated in-page for every matching element.
...args <...string> Arguments to pass to pageFunction
returns: <Promise<Array<Object>>> Promise which resolves to array of function return values.

Example:

const headings = await page.$$('h1,h2,h3,h4', el => el.textContent);
for (const heading of headings) console.log(heading);

Shortcut for page.mainFrame().$$(selector, pageFunction, ...args).

page.addScriptTag(url)

url <string> Url of a script to be added
returns: <Promise> Promise which resolves as the script gets added and loads.

Adds a <script></script> tag to the page with the desired url. Alternatively, javascript could be injected to the page via page.injectFile method.

page.click(selector[, options])

selector <string> A query selector to search for element to click. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be clicked.
options <Object>
- button <string> left, right, or middle, defaults to left.
- clickCount <number> defaults to 1
returns: <Promise> Promise which resolves when the element matching selector is successfully clicked. Promise gets rejected if there's no element matching selector.

page.close()

returns: <Promise> Returns promise which resolves when page gets closed.

page.evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)

pageFunction <function|string> Function to be evaluated in browser context
...args <...string> Arguments to pass to pageFunction
returns: <Promise<Object>> Promise which resolves to function return value

If the function, passed to the page.evaluate, returns a Promise, then page.evaluate would wait for the promise to resolve and return it's value.

const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.newPage().then(async page =>
  const result = await page.evaluate(() => {
    return Promise.resolve().then(() => 8 * 7);
  });
  console.log(result); // prints "56"
  browser.close();
});

A string can also be passed in instead of a function.

console.log(await page.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"

This is a shortcut for page.mainFrame().evaluate() method.

page.evaluateOnNewDocument(pageFunction, ...args)

pageFunction <function|string> Function to be evaluated in browser context
...args <...string> Arguments to pass to pageFunction
returns: <Promise<Object>> Promise which resolves to function

Adds a function which would be invoked in one of the following scenarios:

whenever the page gets navigated
whenever the child frame gets attached or navigated. In this case, the function gets 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 javascript environment, e.g. to seed Math.random

page.focus(selector)

selector <string> A query selector of 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. Promise gets rejected if there's no element matching selector.

Note

in certain cases, setting viewport will reload the page so that the isMobile or hasTouch options will be able to interfere in project loading.

The page's viewport size defines page's dimensions, observable from page via window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight. The viewport size defines a size of page screenshot (unless a fullPage option is given).

In case of multiple pages in one browser, each page can have its own viewport size.

page.waitFor(selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout[, options])

selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout <string|number|function> A selector, predicate or timeout to wait for
options <Object> Optional waiting parameters
returns: <Promise>

This is a shortcut method for frame.waitForSelector or page.mainFrame().waitForFunction().

This method behaves differently with respect to the type of the first parameter:

if selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout is a string, than the first argument is treated as a selector to wait for and the method is a shortcut for frame.waitForSelector
if selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout is a function, than the first argument is treated as a predicate to wait for and the method is a shortcut for frame.waitForFunction().
if selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout is a number, than 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

The method is a shortcut for page.mainFrame().waitFor().

page.waitForFunction(pageFunction[, options], ...args)

pageFunction <function|string> Function to be evaluated in browser context
options <Object> Optional waiting parameters
- 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 could 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).
...args <...Object> Arguments to pass to pageFunction
returns: <Promise> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to DOM.

Shortcut for page.mainFrame().waitForFunction().

page.waitForNavigation(options)

options <Object> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
- timeout <number> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds.
- waitUntil <string> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to load. Could be either:
  - load - consider navigation to be finished when the load event is fired.
  - networkidle - consider navigation to be finished when the network activity stays "idle" for at least networkIdleTimeoutms.
- networkIdleInflight <number> Maximum amount of inflight requests which are considered "idle". Takes effect only with waitUntil: 'networkidle' parameter.
- networkIdleTimeout <number> A timeout to wait before completing navigation. Takes effect only with waitUntil: 'networkidle' parameter.
returns: <Promise<Response>> 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.waitForSelector(selector[, options])

selector <string> A query selector to wait for on the page.
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.
- timeout <number> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds).
returns: <Promise> Promise which resolves when the element matching selector appears in the page.

Shortcut for page.mainFrame().waitForSelector().

class: Keyboard

Keyboard provides an api for managing a virtual keyboard. The high level api is page.type, which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page.

For finer control, you can use keyboard.down, keyboard.up, and keyboard.sendCharacter 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:

page.type('Hello World!');
page.press('ArrowLeft');

page.keyboard.down('Shift');
for (let i = 0; i < ' World'.length; i++)
  page.press('ArrowLeft');
page.keyboard.up('Shift');

page.press('Backspace');
// Result text will end up saying 'Hello!'

keyboard.down(key[, options])

key <string> Name of key to press, such as ArrowLeft. See KeyboardEvent.key
options <Object>
- text <string> If specified, generates an input event with this text.
returns: <Promise>

Dispatches a keydown event.

This will not send input events unless text is specified.

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.

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.

page.keyboard.sendCharacter('嗨');

keyboard.up(key)

key <string> Name of key to release, such as ArrowLeft. See KeyboardEvent.key
returns: <Promise>

Dispatches a keyup event.

class: Mouse

An example of using Dialog class:

const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser({headless: false});
browser.newPage().then(async page => {
  page.on('dialog', dialog => {
    console.log(dialog.message());
    dialog.dismiss();
    browser.close();
  });
  page.evaluate(() => alert('1'));
});

Note

Chrome Headless currently has issues with managing javascript dialogs, see issue 13

dialog.accept([promptText])

promptText <string> A text to enter in prompt. Does not cause any effects if the dialog's type is not prompt.
returns: <Promise> Promise which resolves when the dialog has being accepted.

dialog.message()

returns: <string> A message displayed in the dialog.

dialog.type

<string>

Dialog's type, could be one of the alert, beforeunload, confirm and prompt.

class: Frame

At every point of time, page exposes its current frame tree via the page.mainFrame() and frame.childFrames() methods.

Frame object's lifecycle is controlled by three events, dispatched on the page object:

'frameattached' - fired when the frame gets attached to the page. Frame could be attached to the page only once.
'framenavigated' - fired when the frame commits navigation to a different URL.
'framedetached' - fired when the frame gets detached from the page. Frame could be detached from the page only once.

An example of dumping frame tree:

const {Browser} = new require('.');
const browser = new Browser({headless: true});

browser.newPage().then(async page => {
  await page.navigate('https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html');
  dumpFrameTree(page.mainFrame(), '');
  browser.close();

  function dumpFrameTree(frame, indent) {
    console.log(indent + frame.url());
    for (let child of frame.childFrames())
      dumpFrameTree(child, indent + '  ');
  }
});

frame.$(selector, pageFunction, ...args)

selector <string> A selector to be matched in the page

pageFunction <function|string> Function to be evaluated in browser context
...args <...string> Arguments to pass to pageFunction
returns: <Promise<Object>> Promise which resolves to function return value

If the function, passed to the frame.evaluate, returns a Promise, then frame.evaluate would wait for the promise to resolve and return it's value.

frame.focus(selector)

selector <string> A query selector of 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. Promise gets rejected if there's no element matching selector.

frame.hover(selector)

selector <string> A query 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.

frame.injectFile(filePath)

filePath <string> Path to the javascript file to be injected into frame.
returns: <Promise> Promise which resolves when file gets successfully evaluated in frame.

frame.isDetached()

returns: <boolean>

Returns true if the frame has being detached, 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> Returns parent frame, if any. Detached frames and main frames return null.

frame.title()

returns: <Promise<string>> Returns page's title.

frame.url()

returns: <string>

Returns frame's url.

frame.waitFor(selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout[, options])

selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout <string|number|function> A selector, predicate or timeout to wait for
options <Object> Optional waiting parameters
returns: <Promise>

This is a shortcut method for frame.waitForSelector or page.mainFrame().waitForFunction().

This method behaves differently with respect to the type of the first parameter:

if selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout is a string, than the first argument is treated as a selector to wait for and the method is a shortcut for frame.waitForSelector
if selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout is a function, than the first argument is treated as a predicate to wait for and the method is a shortcut for frame.waitForFunction().
if selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout is a number, than 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

frame.waitForFunction(pageFunction[, options], ...args)

pageFunction <function|string> Function to be evaluated in browser context
options <Object> Optional waiting parameters
- 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 could 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).
...args <...Object> Arguments to pass to pageFunction
returns: <Promise> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to DOM.

The waitForFunction could be used to observe viewport size change:

const {Browser} = require('.');
const browser = new Browser();

browser.newPage().then(async page => {
  const watchDog = page.waitForFunction('window.innerWidth < 100);
  page.setViewport({width: 50, height: 50});
  await watchDog;
  browser.close();
});

frame.waitForSelector(selector[, options])

selector <string> CSS selector of awaited element,
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.
- timeout <number> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds).
returns: <Promise> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to 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:

const {Browser} = new require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();

browser.newPage().then(async page => {
  let currentURL;
  page.waitForSelector('img').then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
  for (currentURL of ['https://example.com', 'https://google.com', 'https://bbc.com'])
    await page.navigate(currentURL);
  browser.close();
});

class: Request

Whenever the page sends a request, the following events are emitted by puppeteer's page:

'request' emitted when the request is issued by the page.
'response' emitted when/if the response is received for the request.
'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 is emitted.

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.

Request class represents requests which are sent by page. Request implements Body mixin, which in case of HTTP POST requests allows clients to call request.json() or request.text() to get different representations of request's body.

request.headers

<Map> A map of HTTP headers associated with the request.

request.method

<string>

Contains the request's method (GET, POST, etc.)

request.postData

<string>

Contains the request's post body, if any.

request.response()

returns: <Response> A matching Response object, or null if the response has not been received yet.

request.url

<string>

Contains the URL of the request.

class: Response

Response class represents responses which are received by page. Response implements Body mixin, which allows clients to call response.json() or response.text() to get different representations of response body.

response.buffer()

returns: <Promise<Buffer>> Promise which resolves to a buffer with response body.

response.headers

<Map> A map of HTTP headers associated with the response.

response.json()

returns: <Promise<Object>> Promise which resolves to a JSON representation of response body.

This method will throw if the response body is not parsable via JSON.parse.

response.ok

<boolean>

Contains a boolean stating whether the response was successful (status in the range 200-299) or not.

response.request()

returns: <Request> A matching Request object.

response.status

<number>

Contains the status code of the response (e.g., 200 for a success).

response.statusText

<string>

Contains the status message corresponding to the status code (e.g., OK for 200).

response.text()

returns: <Promise<[text]>> Promise which resolves to a text representation of response body.

response.url

<string>

Contains the URL of the response.

class: InterceptedRequest

InterceptedRequest represents an intercepted request, which can be mutated and either continued or aborted. InterceptedRequest which is not continued or aborted will be in a 'hanging' state.

interceptedRequest.abort()

Aborts request.

interceptedRequest.continue()

Continues request.

interceptedRequest.headers

<Map> A map of HTTP headers associated with the request.

Headers could be mutated. Must not be changed in response to an authChallenge.

interceptedRequest.method

<string>
