### 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:
```js
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](http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/).
#### 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.closePage(page)
- `page` <[Page]> A page to be closed.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the page is closed.
This is an alias for the `page.close()` method.
#### 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`:
```js
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`:
```js
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`:
```js
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:
```js
page.on('console', (...args) => {
for (let i =0; i < args.length; ++i)
console.log(`${i}: ${args[i]}`);
});
page.evaluate(() => console.log(5, 'hello', {foo: 'bar'}));
```
#### event: 'dialog'
- <[Dialog]>
Emitted when a javascript dialog, such as `alert`, `prompt`, `confirm` or `beforeunload`, gets opened on the page. Puppeteer can take action to the dialog via dialog's [accept](#dialogacceptprompttext) or [dismiss](#dialogdismiss) methods.
#### event: 'frameattached'
- <[Frame]>
Emitted when a frame gets attached.
#### event: 'framedetached'
- <[Frame]>
Emitted when a frame gets detached.
#### event: 'framenavigated'
- <[Frame]>
Emitted when a frame committed navigation.
#### event: 'load'
Emitted when a page's `load` event was dispatched.
#### event: 'pageerror'
- <[string]>
Emitted when an unhandled exception happens on the page. The only argument of the event holds the exception message.
#### event: 'request'
- <[Request]>
Emitted when a page issues a request. The [request] object is a read-only object. In order to intercept and mutate requests, see [page.setRequestInterceptor](#pagesetrequestinterceptorinterceptor)
#### event: 'requestfailed'
- <[Request]>
Emitted when a request is failed.
#### event: 'requestfinished'
- <[Request]>
Emitted when a request is successfully finished.
#### event: 'response'
- <[Response]>
Emitted when a [response] is received.
#### page.$(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:
```js
const outerhtml = await page.$('#box', e => e.outerHTML);
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$(selector, pageFunction, ...args)](#pageselector-fun-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:
```js
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)](#pageselector-fun-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)
- `selector` <[string]> A query selector to search for element to click. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be clicked.
- 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.emulate(name, options)
- `name` <[string]> A name of the device to be emulated. Get the full list of emulated devices via `page.emulatedDevices()`.
- `options` <[Object]> Emulation parameters which might have the following properties:
- `landscape` <[boolean]> Emulates device in the landscape mode, defaults to `false`.
- returns: <[Promise]> Returns promise which resolves when device is emulated. Can reload the page if switching between mobile and desktop devices.
#### page.emulatedDevices()
- returns: <[Array]<[String]>> Returns array of device names that can be used with `page.emulate()`.
#### page.evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)
- `pageFunction` <[function]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[string]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>> Promise which resolves to function return value
This is a shortcut for [page.mainFrame().evaluate()](#frameevaluatefun-args) method.
#### page.evaluateOnInitialized(pageFunction, ...args)
- `pageFunction` <[function]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[string]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>> Promise which resolves to function
`page.evaluateOnInitialized` adds a function which would run on every page navigation before any page's javascript. This is useful to amend javascript environment, e.g. to seed [Math.random](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/examples/unrandomize.js)
#### 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.

- `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.
The `page.navigate` will throw an error if:

#### page.screenshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Options object which might have the following properties:
- `path` <[string]> The file path to save the image to. The screenshot type will be inferred from file extension.
- `type` <[string]> Specify screenshot type, could be either `jpeg` or `png`. Defaults to 'png'.

- `callback` <[function]> Callback function which will be called in puppeteer's context.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when callback is successfully initialized
The in-page callback allows page to asynchronously reach back to the Puppeteer.
An example of a page showing amount of CPU's:
```js
const os = require('os');
const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.newPage().then(async page =>
await page.setInPageCallback('getCPUCount', () => os.cpus().length);
await page.evaluate(async () => {
alert(await window.getCPUCount());
});
browser.close();
});
```
#### page.setRequestInterceptor(interceptor)
- `interceptor` <[function]> Callback function which accepts a single argument of type <[InterceptedRequest]>.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when request interceptor is successfully installed on the page.
After the request interceptor is installed on the page, every request will be reported to the interceptor. The [InterceptedRequest] could be modified and then either continued via the `continue()` method, or aborted via the `abort()` method.
En example of a naive request interceptor which aborts all image requests:
```js
const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.newPage().then(async page =>
await page.setRequestInterceptor(interceptedRequest => {
if (interceptedRequest.url.endsWith('.png') || interceptedRequest.url.endsWith('.jpg'))
interceptedRequest.abort();
else
interceptedRequest.continue();
});
await page.navigate('https://example.com');
browser.close();
});
```

- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the dimensions are updated.
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.title()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>> Returns page's title.
#### page.type(text)
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.

- `...filePaths` <[string]> Sets the value of the file input these paths
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the value is set.
#### page.url()
- returns: <[string]> Current page url.
This is a shortcut for [page.mainFrame().url()](#frameurl)
#### page.userAgent()
- returns: <[string]> Returns user agent.
#### page.viewport()
- returns: <[Object]> An object with two fields:
- `width` <[number]> Page's width in pixels.

- `selector` <[string]> A query selector to wait for on the page.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` appears in the page.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitFor(selector)](#framewaitforselector).
### class: Keyboard
Keyboard provides an api for managing a virtual keyboard. The high level api is [`keyboard.type`](#keyboardtypetext), which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page.
For finer control, you can use press, release, and 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:
```js
page.keyboard.type('Hello World!');
page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
page.keyboard.hold('Shift');
for (let i = 0; i = 0; i < ' World'.length; i++)
page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
page.keyboard.release('Shift');
page.keyboard.press('Backspace');
// Result text will end up saying 'Hello!'
```
#### keyboard.hold(key[, options])
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [KeyboardEvent.key](https://www.w3.org/TR/uievents-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.release`](#keyboardreleasekey).
#### keyboard.modifiers()
- returns: <[Object]>
- `Shift` <[boolean]>
- `Meta` <[boolean]>
- `Control` <[boolean]>
- `Alt` <[boolean]>
Returns which modifier keys are currently active. Use [`keyboard.hold`](#keyboardholdkey) to activate a modifier key.
#### keyboard.press(key[, options])
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [KeyboardEvent.key](https://www.w3.org/TR/uievents-key/)
- `options` <[Object]>
- `text` <[string]> If specified, generates an input event with this text.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Shortcut for [`keyboard.hold`](#keyboardholdkey) and [`keyboard.release`](#keyboardreleasekey).
#### keyboard.release(key)
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to release, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [KeyboardEvent.key](https://www.w3.org/TR/uievents-key/)
- returns: <[Promise]>
Dispatches a `keyup` event.
#### 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.
```js
page.keyboard.sendCharacter('嗨');
```
#### keyboard.type(text)
- `text` <[string]> Text to type into the page
- returns: <[Promise]>
Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
This is the suggested way to type printable characters.
```js
page.keyboard.type('Hello World!');
```
### class: Dialog
[Dialog] objects are dispatched by page via the ['dialog'](#event-dialog) event.
An example of using `Dialog` class:
```js
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](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/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.dismiss()
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the dialog has being dismissed.
#### 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()](#pagemainframe) and [frame.childFrames()](#framechildframes) methods.
[Frame] object's lifecycle is controlled by three events, dispatched on the page object:
- ['frameattached'](#event-frameattached) - fired when the frame gets attached to the page. Frame could be attached to the page only once.
- ['framenavigated'](#event-framenavigated) - fired when the frame commits navigation to a different URL.
- ['framedetached'](#event-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:
```js
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]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated with first element matching `selector`
- `...args` <...[string]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>> Promise which resolves to function return value.
#### frame.$$(selector, pageFunction, ...args)
- `selector` <[string]> A selector to be matched in the page
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluted for every element matching `selector`.
- `...args` <...[string]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[Object]>>> Promise which resolves to array of function return values.
#### frame.childFrames()
- returns: <[Array]<[Frame]>>
#### frame.evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)
- `pageFunction` <[function]> 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.
```js
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();
});
```
#### frame.isDetached()
- returns: <[boolean]>
Returns `true` if the frame has being detached, or `false` otherwise.
#### frame.isMainFrame()
- returns: <[boolean]>
Returns `true` is the frame is page's main frame, or `false` otherwise.
#### frame.name()
- returns: <[string]>
Returns frame's name as specified in the tag.
#### frame.parentFrame()
- returns: <[Frame]> Returns parent frame, if any. Detached frames and main frames return `null`.
#### frame.url()
- returns: <[string]>
Returns frame's url.
#### frame.waitFor(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> CSS selector of awaited element,
- 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.
### class: Request
Whenever the page sends a request, the following events are emitted by puppeteer's page:
- ['request'](#event-request) emitted when the request is issued by the page.
- ['response'](#event-response) emitted when/if the response is received for the request.
- ['requestfinished'](#event-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-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
- <[Headers]>
Contains the associated [Headers] object of the request.
#### request.method
- <[string]>
Contains the request's method (GET, POST, etc.)
#### 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.headers
- <[Headers]>
Contains the [Headers] object associated with the response.
#### 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.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
- <[Headers]>
Contains the [Headers] object associated with the request.
Headers could be mutated with the `headers.append`, `headers.set` and other
methods. Must not be changed in response to an authChallenge.
#### interceptedRequest.isHandled()
- returns: <[boolean]> returns `true` if either `abort` or `continue` was called on the object. Otherwise, returns `false`.
#### interceptedRequest.method
- <[string]>
Contains the request's method (GET, POST, etc.)
If set this allows the request method to be overridden. Must not be changed in response to an authChallenge.
#### interceptedRequest.postData
- <[string]>
Contains `POST` data for `POST` requests.
`request.postData` is mutable and could be written to. Must not be changed in response to an authChallenge.
#### interceptedRequest.url
- <[string]>
If changed, the request url will be modified in a way that's not observable by page. Must not be changed in response to an authChallenge.
### class: Headers
#### headers.append(name, value)
- `name` <[string]> Case-insensetive header name.
- `value` <[string]> Header value
If there's already a header with name `name`, the header gets overwritten.
#### headers.delete(name)
- `name` <[string]> Case-insensetive name of the header to be deleted. If there's no header with such name, the method does nothing.
#### headers.entries()
- returns: <[iterator]> An iterator allowing to go through all key/value pairs contained in this object. Both the key and value of each pairs are [string] objects.
#### headers.get(name)
- `name` <[string]> Case-insensetive name of the header.
- returns: <[string]> Header value of `null`, if there's no such header.
#### headers.has(name)
- `name` <[string]> Case-insensetive name of the header.
- returns: <[boolean]> Returns `true` if the header with such name exists, or `false` otherwise.
#### headers.keys()
- returns: <[iterator]> an iterator allowing to go through all keys contained in this object. The keys are [string] objects.
#### headers.set(name, value)
- `name` <[string]> Case-insensetive header name.
- `value` <[string]> Header value
If there's already a header with name `name`, the header gets overwritten.
#### headers.values()
- returns: <[iterator]<[string]>> Returns an iterator allowing to go through all values contained in this object. The values are [string] objects.
### class: Body
#### body.arrayBuffer()
- returns: <Promise<[ArrayBuffer]>>
#### body.bodyUsed
- returns: <[boolean]>
#### body.buffer()
- returns: <Promise<[Buffer]>>
#### body.json()
- returns: <Promise<[Object]>>
#### body.text()
- returns: <Promise<[text]>>
