The Accessibility class provides methods for inspecting the browser's accessibility tree. The accessibility tree is used by assistive technology such as screen readers or switches. Remarks: Accessibility is a very platform-specific thing. On different platforms, there are different screen readers that might have wildly different output. Blink - Chrome's rendering engine - has a concept of "accessibility tree", which is then translated into different platform-specific APIs. Accessibility namespace gives users access to the Blink Accessibility Tree. Most of the accessibility tree gets filtered out when converting from Blink AX Tree to Platform-specific AX-Tree or by assistive technologies themselves. By default, Puppeteer tries to approximate this filtering, exposing only the "interesting" nodes of the tree. The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |
|
Browser represents a browser instance that is either:
Browser emits various events which are documented in the BrowserEvent enum. 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 | |
|
BrowserContext represents individual user contexts within a browser. When a browser is launched, it has a single browser context by default. Others can be created using Browser.createBrowserContext(). Each context has isolated storage (cookies/localStorage/etc.) BrowserContext emits various events which are documented in the BrowserContextEvent enum. If a page opens another page, e.g. using 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 | |

The Remarks: Protocol methods can be called with CDPSession.send() method and protocol events can be subscribed to with Useful links: DevTools Protocol Viewer and Getting Started with DevTools Protocol. The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |
|
ConsoleMessage objects are dispatched by page via the 'console' event. 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 | |
|
The Coverage class provides methods to gather information about parts of JavaScript and CSS that were used by the page. Remarks: To output coverage in a form consumable by Istanbul, see puppeteer-to-istanbul. The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |

ElementHandle represents an in-page DOM element. Remarks: ElementHandles can be created with the Page.$() method. import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
const hrefElement = await page.$('a');
await hrefElement.click();
// ...
})();ElementHandle prevents the DOM element from being garbage-collected unless the handle is disposed. ElementHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated. ElementHandle instances can be used as arguments in Page.$eval() and Page.evaluate() methods. If you're using TypeScript, ElementHandle takes a generic argument that denotes the type of element the handle is holding within. For example, if you have a handle to a The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |
|
The EventEmitter class that many Puppeteer classes extend. Remarks: This allows you to listen to events that Puppeteer classes fire and act accordingly. Therefore you'll mostly use on and off to bind and unbind to event listeners. The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |
|
(Experimental) Experimental ExtensionTransport allows establishing a connection via chrome.debugger API if Puppeteer runs in an extension. Since Chrome DevTools Protocol is restricted for extensions, the transport implements missing commands and events. 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 | |
|
File choosers let you react to the page requesting for a file. Remarks:
In browsers, only one file chooser can be opened at a time. All file choosers must be accepted or canceled. Not doing so will prevent subsequent file choosers from appearing. The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |
|
Represents a DOM frame. To understand frames, you can think of frames as Remarks: Frame lifecycles are controlled by three events that are all dispatched on the parent page: The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |
|
Represents an HTTP request sent by a page. Remarks: Whenever the page sends a request, such as for a network resource, the following events are emitted by Puppeteer's
If request fails at some point, then instead of All of these events provide an instance of NOTE: HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with If request gets a 'redirect' response, the request is successfully finished with the The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |
|
The HTTPResponse class represents responses which are received by the Page class. 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 | |
|
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 | |
|
Represents a reference to a JavaScript object. Instances can be created using Page.evaluateHandle(). Handles prevent the referenced JavaScript object from being garbage-collected unless the handle is purposely disposed. JSHandles are auto-disposed when their associated frame is navigated away or the parent context gets destroyed. Handles can be used as arguments for any evaluation function such as Page.$eval(), Page.evaluate(), and Page.evaluateHandle(). They are resolved to their referenced object. 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 | |
|
Keyboard provides an api for managing a virtual keyboard. The high level api is Keyboard.type(), which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page. Remarks: 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. On macOS, keyboard shortcuts like The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the | |
|
Locators describe a strategy of locating objects and performing an action on them. If the action fails because the object is not ready for the action, the whole operation is retried. Various preconditions for a successful action are checked automatically. See https://pptr.dev/guides/page-interactions#locators for details. | |
