# Pyppetter

Python implementation of puppeteer

Async innately so can have multiple browsers running!

## Basic

```python
import asyncio
from pyppeteer import launch

async def main():
    browser = await launch(headless=False)
    page = await browser.newPage()
    await page.goto('http://example.com')
    await page.screenshot({'path': 'example.png'})
    await browser.close()

asyncio.ensure_future(main())
```

## Page Functions To Know

* .goto('example.com')
* .screenshot({path: 'filename.png'})
* .type('#searchbox input', 'Headless Chrome', {delay: 100});
* .waitForSelector(*\[someSelector]*)
* .click(*\[someSelector]*)

## Use DOM Manipulation

```python
textContent = await page.evaluate('''() => document.querySelector('p').textContent''');
```

```python
element = await page.querySelector('h1')
title = await page.evaluate('(element) => element.textContent', element)
```

## Differences From Puppeteer

`Page.querySelector()`/`Page.querySelectorAll()`/`Page.xpath()` instead of`Page.$()`/`Page.$$()`/`Page.$x()`. Pyppeteer also has shorthands for these methods, `Page.J()`, `Page.JJ()`, and `Page.Jx()`.

## Other Example

```python
import asyncio
from pyppeteer import launch

async def main():
    browser = await launch()
    page = await browser.newPage()
    await page.goto('http://example.com')
    await page.screenshot({'path': 'example.png'})

    dimensions = await page.evaluate('''() => {
        return {
            width: document.documentElement.clientWidth,
            height: document.documentElement.clientHeight,
            deviceScaleFactor: window.devicePixelRatio,
        }
    }''')

    print(dimensions)
    # >>> {'width': 800, 'height': 600, 'deviceScaleFactor': 1}
    await browser.close()

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://openai.gitbook.io/code-cheatsheets/all/python/packages/pyppeteer.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
