What is puppeteer-extra?

puppeteer-extra is a modular plugin framework for the popular headless browser automation library Puppeteer. It allows users to easily extend Puppeteer's functionality with plugins, making it more versatile and powerful for various web scraping, automation, and testing tasks.

What are puppeteer-extra's main functionalities?

Stealth Plugin

The Stealth Plugin helps to avoid detection by various anti-bot measures on websites. It modifies the browser's behavior to make it look more like a regular user.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra');
const StealthPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth');
puppeteer.use(StealthPlugin());
(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: true });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'example.png' });
  await browser.close();
})();

Adblocker Plugin

The Adblocker Plugin blocks ads and trackers, making page loads faster and reducing the amount of data processed.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra');
const AdblockerPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-adblocker');
puppeteer.use(AdblockerPlugin());
(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: true });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'example.png' });
  await browser.close();
})();

Recaptcha Plugin

The Recaptcha Plugin helps to solve reCAPTCHAs automatically using third-party services like 2Captcha, making it easier to automate interactions with websites that use CAPTCHA challenges.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra');
const RecaptchaPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha');
puppeteer.use(RecaptchaPlugin({ provider: { id: '2captcha', token: 'YOUR_2CAPTCHA_API_KEY' } }));
(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: true });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  const { captchas } = await page.solveRecaptchas();
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'example.png' });
  await browser.close();
})();
