Features

  • Browser Automation - Drives a headless browser programmatically for web scraping, form filling, and UI testing.
  • Cross-Browser DevTools Automations - Drives headless browsers via the DevTools Protocol for web scraping, testing, and interaction tasks.
  • End To End Testing - Controls a real browser to simulate user interactions and verify application behavior across full workflows.
  • JavaScript Rendering - Extracts data from pages that rely on JavaScript to render content, waiting for scripts to finish.
  • Headless Browser Drivers - Manages browser lifecycle, including automatic download, launch, and cleanup of browser processes.
  • Headless Browser Automation - Drives a headless browser via the DevTools Protocol for web automation and scraping tasks.
  • Browser Page Readiness Waits - Pauses execution until page elements stabilize, ensuring reliable browser automation interactions.
  • Nested Context Navigators - Navigates into iframes and shadow DOMs by recursively resolving host elements.
  • Browser Binary Managers - Automatically downloads and launches browser binaries without manual setup.
  • Page Stability Waits - Pauses execution until network requests and DOM mutations settle for reliable browser automation.
  • Iframe Navigators - Accesses and interacts with elements inside iframes and shadow DOMs during automation.
  • Guaranteed Event Captures - Uses a two-step listener pattern to capture events without missing them due to race conditions.
  • Network Layer Hijackers - Hijacks HTTP requests and responses at the network layer for modification or inspection.
  • Guaranteed Event Captures - Listens for browser events using a two-step mechanism that guarantees no event is missed.
  • Chrome DevTools Protocols - Communicates with browser internals via the Chrome DevTools Protocol for fine-grained control.
  • DevTools Protocol Clients - Communicates with browsers through the Chrome DevTools Protocol to control page behavior and network traffic.
  • Shadow DOM Interactors - Interacts with elements inside nested iframes or shadow DOMs without manual traversal.
  • Browser Lifecycle Managers - Automatically finds or downloads a browser binary and ensures no zombie processes remain after a crash.
  • Web Scraping Frameworks - Extracts data from web pages by navigating DOM structures, handling iframes, and intercepting network requests.
  • Form Automation - Programmatically populates and submits web form fields for automation workflows.
  • Orphaned Process Cleaners - Monitors and terminates orphaned browser processes to prevent resource leaks.
  • Network Request Interception - Intercepts and modifies HTTP requests and responses passing through the browser for custom routing.
  • Browser Dialog Credential Injectors - Automatically responds to browser authentication dialogs during automated page access.
  • Automation Debugging - Records input actions and remotely monitors headless browser sessions for troubleshooting.
  • Headless Session Debuggers - Records input actions and provides remote monitoring of headless browser sessions for troubleshooting.
  • Input Action Recorders - Records input actions and provides remote monitoring of headless browser sessions for debugging.
  • Interaction Replayers - Records and replays user interactions with the browser for debugging and test reproducibility.
  • User Event Replayers - Records and replays user input events for debugging or reproducing automated workflows.
  • Screenshot Capture - Captures visual representations of web pages during automated testing for reporting.
  • Race-Condition-Free Registrations - Registers event listeners before triggering actions to prevent missed events from race conditions.
  • Headless Session Proxies - Exposes headless browser sessions for live monitoring and debugging via external tools.
  • Authentication Prompt Responders - Responds to browser authentication prompts programmatically during automated sessions.
  • Credential Prompt Responders - Automatically responds to browser credential prompts by injecting credentials into the authentication flow.
  • Automation Libraries - High-level browser automation library for Go.
  • Desktop and GUI Development - Browser automation and scraping tool.
  • Testing and QA - Devtools-based web automation.
  • Testing and Quality Assurance - Devtools-based web automation.
