If you're using Puppeteer in a Node environment, this is the class you'll get when you run `require('puppeteer')` (or the equivalent ES `import`). Signature: ```typescript export declare class PuppeteerNode extends Puppeteer ``` Extends: [Puppeteer](./puppeteer.puppeteer.md) ## Remarks The most common method to use is [launch](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.launch.md), which is used to launch and connect to a new browser instance. See [the main Puppeteer class](./puppeteer.puppeteer.md) for methods common to all environments, such as [Puppeteer.connect()](./puppeteer.puppeteer.connect.md). The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `PuppeteerNode` 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. ## Properties | Property | Modifiers | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [product](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.product.md) | | string | The name of the browser that is under automation ("chrome" or "firefox") | ## Methods | Method | Modifiers | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | [connect(options)](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.connect.md) | | This method attaches Puppeteer to an existing browser instance. | | [createBrowserFetcher(options)](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.createbrowserfetcher.md) | | | | [defaultArgs(options)](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.defaultargs.md) | | | | [executablePath(channel)](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.executablepath.md) | | | | [launch(options)](./puppeteer.puppeteernode.launch.md) | | Launches puppeteer and launches a browser instance with given arguments and options when specified. |
