What is playwright-core?

The playwright-core npm package is a library that provides a high-level API to control headless Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API. It is designed for automating web browser interactions for the purposes of web scraping, automated testing, and web automation.

What are playwright-core's main functionalities?

Browser Automation

Automate browser actions such as opening pages, clicking on elements, and navigating websites.

  const browser = await chromium.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  // other actions...
  await browser.close();
})();

Web Scraping

Extract data from web pages by navigating to them and retrieving the content.

const { firefox } = require('playwright-core');

  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  const data = await page.content();

  await browser.close();
})();

Automated Testing

Perform automated tests on web applications by simulating user interactions and verifying page content.

const { webkit } = require('playwright-core');

(async () => {
