Puppeteer class
The main Puppeteer class. Provides the launch method to launch a browser.
When you require or import the Puppeteer npm package you get back an instance of this class.
Signature:
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:
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 lists all the available methods.
