### Overview

Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol.

The Puppeteer API is hierarchical and mirrors the browser structure.

> **NOTE** On the following diagram, faded entities are not currently represented in Puppeteer.

![puppeteer overview](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/81942/86137523-ab2ba080-baed-11ea-9d4b-30eda784585a.png)

- [`Puppeteer`](#class-puppeteer) communicates with the browser using [DevTools Protocol](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/).
- [`Browser`](#class-browser) instance can own multiple browser contexts.
- [`BrowserContext`](#class-browsercontext) instance defines a browsing session and can own multiple pages.
- [`Page`](#class-page) has at least one frame: main frame. There might be other frames created by [iframe](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe) or [frame](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/frame) tags.
- [`Frame`](#class-frame) has at least one execution context - the default execution context - where the frame's JavaScript is executed. A Frame might have additional execution contexts that are associated with [extensions](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions).
- [`Worker`](#class-worker) has a single execution context and facilitates interacting with [WebWorkers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).

### puppeteer vs puppeteer-core

Every release since v1.7.0 we publish two packages:
- [puppeteer](https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer)
- [puppeteer-core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-core)

`puppeteer` is a *product* for browser automation. When installed, it downloads a version of
Chromium, which it then drives using `puppeteer-core`. Being an end-user product, `puppeteer` supports a bunch of convenient `PUPPETEER_*` env variables to tweak its behavior.

`puppeteer-core` is a *library* to help drive anything that supports DevTools protocol. `puppeteer-core` doesn't download Chromium when installed. Being a library, `puppeteer-core` is fully driven
through its programmatic interface and disregards all the `PUPPETEER_*` env variables.

To sum up, the only differences between `puppeteer-core` and `puppeteer` are:
- `puppeteer-core` doesn't automatically download Chromium when installed.
- `puppeteer-core` ignores all `PUPPETEER_*` env variables.

In most cases, you'll be fine using the `puppeteer` package.

However, you should use `puppeteer-core` if:
- you're building another end-user product or library atop of DevTools protocol. For example, one might build a PDF generator using `puppeteer-core` and write a custom `install.js` script that downloads [`headless_shell`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md) instead of Chromium to save disk space.
- you're bundling Puppeteer to use in Chrome Extension / browser with the DevTools protocol where downloading an additional Chromium binary is unnecessary.
- you're building a set of tools where `puppeteer-core` is one of the ingredients and you want to postpone `install.js` script execution until Chromium is about to be used.

When using `puppeteer-core`, remember to change the *include* line:

```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-core');
```

You will then need to call [`puppeteer.connect([options])`](#puppeteerconnectoptions) or [`puppeteer.launch([options])`](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) with an explicit `executablePath` option.

### Environment Variables

Puppeteer looks for certain [environment variables](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable) to aid its operations.
If Puppeteer doesn't find them in the environment during the installation step, a lowercased variant of these variables will be used from the [npm config](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/config).

- `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `NO_PROXY` - defines HTTP proxy settings that are used to download and run Chromium.
- `PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD` - do not download bundled Chromium during installation step.
- `PUPPETEER_DOWNLOAD_HOST` - overwrite URL prefix that is used to download Chromium. Note: this includes protocol and might even include path prefix. Defaults to `https://storage.googleapis.com`.
- `PUPPETEER_CHROMIUM_REVISION` - specify a certain version of Chromium you'd like Puppeteer to use. See [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) on how executable path is inferred. **BEWARE**: Puppeteer is only [guaranteed to work](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/#q-why-doesnt-puppeteer-vxxx-work-with-chromium-vyyy) with the bundled Chromium, use at your own risk.
- `PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH` - specify an executable path to be used in `puppeteer.launch`. See [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) on how the executable path is inferred. **BEWARE**: Puppeteer is only [guaranteed to work](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/#q-why-doesnt-puppeteer-vxxx-work-with-chromium-vyyy) with the bundled Chromium, use at your own risk.
- `PUPPETEER_PRODUCT` - specify which browser you'd like Puppeteer to use. Must be one of `chrome` or `firefox`. This can also be used during installation to fetch the recommended browser binary. Setting `product` programmatically in [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) supersedes this environment variable. The product is exposed in [`puppeteer.product`](#puppeteerproduct)

> **NOTE** PUPPETEER_* env variables are not accounted for in the [`puppeteer-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-core) package.


### Working with Chrome Extensions

Puppeteer can be used for testing Chrome Extensions.

> **NOTE** Extensions in Chrome / Chromium currently only work in non-headless mode.

The following is code for getting a handle to the [background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) of an extension whose source is located in `./my-extension`:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const pathToExtension = require('path').join(__dirname, 'my-extension');
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
    args: [
      `--disable-extensions-except=${pathToExtension}`,
      `--load-extension=${pathToExtension}`
    ]
  });
  const targets = await browser.targets();
  const backgroundPageTarget = targets.find(target => target.type() === 'background_page');
  const backgroundPage = await backgroundPageTarget.page();
  // Test the background page as you would any other page.
  await browser.close();
})();
```

> **NOTE** It is not yet possible to test extension popups or content scripts.

### class: Puppeteer

Puppeteer module provides a method to launch a Chromium instance.
The following is a typical example of using Puppeteer to drive automation:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://www.google.com');
  // other actions...
  await browser.close();
})();

For certain types of errors Puppeteer uses specific error classes.
These classes are available via [`puppeteer.errors`](#puppeteererrors)

An example of handling a timeout error:
```js
try {
  await page.waitForSelector('.foo');
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof puppeteer.errors.TimeoutError) {
    // Do something if this is a timeout.

You can use `ignoreDefaultArgs` to filter out `--mute-audio` from default arguments:
```js
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--mute-audio']
});
```

> **NOTE** Puppeteer can also be used to control the Chrome browser, but it works best with the version of Chromium it is bundled with. There is no guarantee it will work with any other version. Use `executablePath` option with extreme caution.
>
> If Google Chrome (rather than Chromium) is preferred, a [Chrome Canary](https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html) or [Dev Channel](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel) build is suggested.
>
> In [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) above, any mention of Chromium also applies to Chrome.
>
> See [`this article`](https://www.howtogeek.com/202825/what%E2%80%99s-the-difference-between-chromium-and-chrome/) for a description of the differences between Chromium and Chrome. [`This article`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/docs/chromium_browser_vs_google_chrome.md) describes some differences for Linux users.

#### puppeteer.product
- returns: <[string]> returns the name of the browser that is under automation (`"chrome"` or `"firefox"`)

The product is set by the `PUPPETEER_PRODUCT` environment variable or the `product` option in [puppeteer.launch([options])](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) and defaults to `chrome`. Firefox support is experimental.


### class: BrowserFetcher

BrowserFetcher can download and manage different versions of Chromium and Firefox.

BrowserFetcher operates on revision strings that specify a precise version of Chromium, e.g. `"533271"`. Revision strings can be obtained from [omahaproxy.appspot.com](http://omahaproxy.appspot.com/).

In the Firefox case, BrowserFetcher downloads Firefox Nightly and operates on version numbers such as `"75"`.

An example of using BrowserFetcher to download a specific version of Chromium and running
Puppeteer against it:

```js
const browserFetcher = puppeteer.createBrowserFetcher();
const revisionInfo = await browserFetcher.download('533271');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({executablePath: revisionInfo.executablePath})
```

> **NOTE** BrowserFetcher is not designed to work concurrently with other
> instances of BrowserFetcher that share the same downloads directory.

#### browserFetcher.canDownload(revision)
- `revision` <[string]> a revision to check availability.

### class: Browser

* extends: [EventEmitter](#class-eventemitter)

A Browser is created when Puppeteer connects to a Chromium instance, either through [`puppeteer.launch`](#puppeteerlaunchoptions) or [`puppeteer.connect`](#puppeteerconnectoptions).

An example of using a [Browser] to create a [Page]:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  await browser.close();
})();
```

An example of disconnecting from and reconnecting to a [Browser]:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  // Store the endpoint to be able to reconnect to Chromium
  const browserWSEndpoint = browser.wsEndpoint();
  // Disconnect puppeteer from Chromium
  browser.disconnect();

  // Use the endpoint to reestablish a connection
  const browser2 = await puppeteer.connect({browserWSEndpoint});
  // Close Chromium
  await browser2.close();
})();
```

### class: BrowserContext

* extends: [EventEmitter](#class-eventemitter)

BrowserContexts provide a way to operate multiple independent browser sessions. When a browser is launched, it has
a single BrowserContext used by default. The method `browser.newPage()` creates a page in the default browser context.

If a page opens another page, e.g. with a `window.open` call, the popup will belong to the parent page's browser
context.

Puppeteer allows creation of "incognito" browser contexts with `browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext()` method.
"Incognito" browser contexts don't write any browsing data to disk.

```js
// Create a new incognito browser context
const context = await browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext();
// Create a new page inside context.
const page = await context.newPage();
// ... do stuff with page ...
await page.goto('https://example.com');
// Dispose context once it's no longer needed.
await context.close();
```

#### event: 'targetchanged'
- <[Target]>

Emitted when the url of a target inside the browser context changes.

#### event: 'targetcreated'
- <[Target]>

Emitted when a new target is created inside the browser context, for example when a new page is opened by [`window.open`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open) or [`browserContext.newPage`](#browsercontextnewpage).

#### event: 'targetdestroyed'
- <[Target]>

Emitted when a target inside the browser context is destroyed, for example when a page is closed.

#### browserContext.browser()
- returns: <[Browser]>

The browser this browser context belongs to.

#### browserContext.clearPermissionOverrides()
- returns: <[Promise]>

Clears all permission overrides for the browser context.

```js
const context = browser.defaultBrowserContext();
context.overridePermissions('https://example.com', ['clipboard-read']);
// do stuff ..
context.clearPermissionOverrides();
```

#### browserContext.close()
- returns: <[Promise]>

Closes the browser context. All the targets that belong to the browser context
will be closed.

> **NOTE** only incognito browser contexts can be closed.

#### browserContext.isIncognito()
- returns: <[boolean]>

Returns whether BrowserContext is incognito.
The default browser context is the only non-incognito browser context.

> **NOTE** the default browser context cannot be closed.

#### browserContext.newPage()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Page]>>

Creates a new page in the browser context.


#### browserContext.overridePermissions(origin, permissions)
- `origin` <[string]> The [origin] to grant permissions to, e.g. "https://example.com".

    - `'midi'`
    - `'midi-sysex'` (system-exclusive midi)
    - `'notifications'`
    - `'push'`
    - `'camera'`
    - `'microphone'`
    - `'background-sync'`
    - `'ambient-light-sensor'`
    - `'accelerometer'`
    - `'gyroscope'`
    - `'magnetometer'`
    - `'accessibility-events'`
    - `'clipboard-read'`
    - `'clipboard-write'`
    - `'payment-handler'`
- returns: <[Promise]>


```js
const context = browser.defaultBrowserContext();
await context.overridePermissions('https://html5demos.com', ['geolocation']);
```


#### browserContext.pages()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[Page]>>> Promise which resolves to an array of all open pages. Non visible pages, such as `"background_page"`, will not be listed here. You can find them using [target.page()](#targetpage).

An array of all pages inside the browser context.

#### browserContext.targets()
- returns: <[Array]<[Target]>>

An array of all active targets inside the browser context.

#### browserContext.waitForTarget(predicate[, options])
- `predicate` <[function]\([Target]\):[boolean]> A function to be run for every target
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. Defaults to 30 seconds.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Target]>> Promise which resolves to the first target found that matches the `predicate` function.

This searches for a target in this specific browser context.

An example of finding a target for a page opened via `window.open`:
```js
await page.evaluate(() => window.open('https://www.example.com/'));
const newWindowTarget = await browserContext.waitForTarget(target => target.url() === 'https://www.example.com/');
```

### class: Page

* extends: [EventEmitter](#class-eventemitter)

Page provides methods to interact with a single tab or [extension background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) in Chromium. One [Browser] instance might have multiple [Page] instances.

This example creates a page, navigates it to a URL, and then saves a screenshot:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  await page.screenshot({path: 'screenshot.png'});
  await browser.close();
})();
```

The Page class emits various events (described below) which can be handled using
any of the [`EventEmitter`](#class-eventemitter) methods, such as `on`, `once`
or `off`.

This example logs a message for a single page `load` event:
```js
page.once('load', () => console.log('Page loaded!'));
```

To unsubscribe from events use the `off` method:

```js
function logRequest(interceptedRequest) {
  console.log('A request was made:', interceptedRequest.url());
}
page.on('request', logRequest);
// Sometime later...
page.off('request', logRequest);
```

#### event: 'close'

Emitted when the page closes.

#### event: 'console'
- <[ConsoleMessage]>

Emitted when JavaScript within the page calls one of console API methods, e.g. `console.log` or `console.dir`. Also emitted if the page throws an error or a warning.

The arguments passed into `console.log` appear as arguments on the event handler.

An example of handling `console` event:
```js
page.on('console', msg => {
  for (let i = 0; i < msg.args().length; ++i)
    console.log(`${i}: ${msg.args()[i]}`);
});
page.evaluate(() => console.log('hello', 5, {foo: 'bar'}));
```

#### event: 'dialog'
- <[Dialog]>

Emitted when a JavaScript dialog appears, such as `alert`, `prompt`, `confirm` or `beforeunload`. Puppeteer can respond to the dialog via [Dialog]'s [accept](#dialogacceptprompttext) or [dismiss](#dialogdismiss) methods.

#### event: 'domcontentloaded'

Emitted when the JavaScript [`DOMContentLoaded`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/DOMContentLoaded) event is dispatched.

#### event: 'error'
- <[Error]>

Emitted when the page crashes.

> **NOTE** `error` event has a special meaning in Node, see [error events](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_error_events) for details.

#### event: 'frameattached'
- <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is attached.

#### event: 'framedetached'
- <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is detached.

#### event: 'framenavigated'
- <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is navigated to a new url.

#### event: 'load'

Emitted when the JavaScript [`load`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/load) event is dispatched.

#### event: 'metrics'
- <[Object]>
  - `title` <[string]> The title passed to `console.timeStamp`.
  - `metrics` <[Object]> Object containing metrics as key/value pairs. The values
    of metrics are of <[number]> type.

Emitted when the JavaScript code makes a call to `console.timeStamp`. For the list
of metrics see `page.metrics`.

#### event: 'pageerror'
- <[Error]> The exception message

Emitted when an uncaught exception happens within the page.

#### event: 'popup'
- <[Page]> Page corresponding to "popup" window

Emitted when the page opens a new tab or window.

```js
const [popup] = await Promise.all([
  new Promise(resolve => page.once('popup', resolve)),
  page.click('a[target=_blank]'),
]);
```

```js
const [popup] = await Promise.all([
  new Promise(resolve => page.once('popup', resolve)),
  page.evaluate(() => window.open('https://example.com')),
]);
```

#### event: 'request'
- <[HTTPRequest]>

Emitted when a page issues a request. The [request] object is read-only.
In order to intercept and mutate requests, see `page.setRequestInterception`.

#### event: 'requestfailed'
- <[HTTPRequest]>

Emitted when a request fails, for example by timing out.

> **NOTE** HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with [`'requestfinished'`](#event-requestfinished) event and not with [`'requestfailed'`](#event-requestfailed).

#### event: 'requestfinished'
- <[HTTPRequest]>

Emitted when a request finishes successfully.

#### event: 'response'
- <[HTTPResponse]>

Emitted when a [response] is received.

#### event: 'workercreated'
- <[Worker]>

Emitted when a dedicated [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) is spawned by the page.

#### event: 'workerdestroyed'
- <[Worker]>

Emitted when a dedicated [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) is terminated.

#### page.$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>>

The method runs `document.querySelector` within the page. If no element matches the selector, the return value resolves to `null`.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$(selector)](#frameselector).

#### page.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>

The method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$$(selector)](#frameselector-1).

#### page.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

This method runs `Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))` within the page and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`.

If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `page.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:
```js
const divCount = await page.$$eval('div', divs => divs.length);
```

```js
const options = await page.$$eval('div > span.options', options => options.map(option => option.textContent));
```

#### page.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

This method runs `document.querySelector` within the page and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `page.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:
```js
const searchValue = await page.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
const preloadHref = await page.$eval('link[rel=preload]', el => el.href);
const html = await page.$eval('.main-container', e => e.outerHTML);
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$eval(selector, pageFunction)](#frameevalselector-pagefunction-args).

#### page.$x(expression)
- `expression` <[string]> Expression to [evaluate](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/evaluate).
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>

The method evaluates the XPath expression.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().$x(expression)](#framexexpression)

#### page.accessibility
- returns: <[Accessibility]>

#### page.addScriptTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `url` <[string]> URL of a script to be added.
  - `path` <[string]> Path to the JavaScript file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
  - `content` <[string]> Raw JavaScript content to be injected into frame.
  - `type` <[string]> Script type. Use 'module' in order to load a Javascript ES6 module. See [script](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script) for more details.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the script's onload fires or when the script content was injected into frame.

Adds a `<script>` tag into the page with the desired url or content.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().addScriptTag(options)](#frameaddscripttagoptions).

#### page.addStyleTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `url` <[string]> URL of the `<link>` tag.
  - `path` <[string]> Path to the CSS file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
  - `content` <[string]> Raw CSS content to be injected into frame.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the stylesheet's onload fires or when the CSS content was injected into frame.

Adds a `<link rel="stylesheet">` tag into the page with the desired url or a `<style type="text/css">` tag with the content.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().addStyleTag(options)](#frameaddstyletagoptions).

#### page.authenticate(credentials)
- `credentials` <?[Object]>
  - `username` <[string]>
  - `password` <[string]>
- returns: <[Promise]>

Provide credentials for [HTTP authentication](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication).

To disable authentication, pass `null`.

#### page.bringToFront()

- returns: <[Promise]>

Brings page to front (activates tab).

#### page.browser()

- returns: <[Browser]>

Get the browser the page belongs to.

#### page.browserContext()

- returns: <[BrowserContext]>

Get the browser context that the page belongs to.

#### page.click(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to click. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be clicked.
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
  - `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.

This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

Bear in mind that if `click()` triggers a navigation event and there's a separate `page.waitForNavigation()` promise to be resolved, you may end up with a race condition that yields unexpected results. The correct pattern for click and wait for navigation is the following:

```javascript
const [response] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForNavigation(waitOptions),
  page.click(selector, clickOptions),
]);
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().click(selector[, options])](#frameclickselector-options).

#### page.close([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `runBeforeUnload` <[boolean]> Defaults to `false`. Whether to run the
    [before unload](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/beforeunload)
    page handlers.
- returns: <[Promise]>

By default, `page.close()` **does not** run beforeunload handlers.

> **NOTE** if `runBeforeUnload` is passed as true, a `beforeunload` dialog might be summoned
> and should be handled manually via page's ['dialog'](#event-dialog) event.

#### page.content()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>>

Gets the full HTML contents of the page, including the doctype.

#### page.cookies([...urls])

#### page.coverage

- returns: <[Coverage]>

#### page.deleteCookie(...cookies)
- `...cookies` <...[Object]>
  - `name` <[string]> **required**
  - `url` <[string]>
  - `domain` <[string]>
  - `path` <[string]>
- returns: <[Promise]>

#### page.emulate(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `viewport` <[Object]>
    - `width` <[number]> page width in pixels.
    - `height` <[number]> page height in pixels.

    - `isLandscape` <[boolean]> Specifies if viewport is in landscape mode. Defaults to `false`.
  - `userAgent` <[string]>
- returns: <[Promise]>

Emulates given device metrics and user agent. This method is a shortcut for calling two methods:
- [page.setUserAgent(userAgent)](#pagesetuseragentuseragent)
- [page.setViewport(viewport)](#pagesetviewportviewport)

To aid emulation, puppeteer provides a list of device descriptors which can be obtained via the [`puppeteer.devices`](#puppeteerdevices).

`page.emulate` will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should emulate before navigating to the page.

```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const iPhone = puppeteer.devices['iPhone 6'];

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.emulate(iPhone);
  await page.goto('https://www.google.com');
  // other actions...
  await browser.close();
})();
```

List of all available devices is available in the source code: [src/common/DeviceDescriptors.ts](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/src/common/DeviceDescriptors.ts).

#### page.emulateMediaFeatures(features)
- `features` <?[Array]<[Object]>> Given an array of media feature objects, emulates CSS media features on the page. Each media feature object must have the following properties:
  - `name` <[string]> The CSS media feature name. Supported names are `'prefers-colors-scheme'` and `'prefers-reduced-motion'`.
  - `value` <[string]> The value for the given CSS media feature.
- returns: <[Promise]>

```js
await page.emulateMediaFeatures([{ name: 'prefers-color-scheme', value: 'dark' }]);
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches);
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: light)').matches);
// → false

await page.emulateMediaFeatures([{ name: 'prefers-reduced-motion', value: 'reduce' }]);
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)').matches);
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)').matches);
// → false

await page.emulateMediaFeatures([
  { name: 'prefers-color-scheme', value: 'dark' },
  { name: 'prefers-reduced-motion', value: 'reduce' },
]);
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches);
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: light)').matches);
// → false
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)').matches);
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)').matches);
// → false
```

#### page.emulateMediaType(type)
- `type` <?[string]> Changes the CSS media type of the page. The only allowed values are `'screen'`, `'print'` and `null`. Passing `null` disables CSS media emulation.
- returns: <[Promise]>

```js
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('screen').matches);
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('print').matches);
// → false

await page.emulateMediaType('print');
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('screen').matches);
// → false
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('print').matches);
// → true

await page.emulateMediaType(null);
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('screen').matches);
// → true
await page.evaluate(() => matchMedia('print').matches);
// → false
```

#### page.emulateTimezone(timezoneId)
- `timezoneId` <?[string]> Changes the timezone of the page. See [ICU’s `metaZones.txt`](https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/icu/source/data/misc/metaZones.txt?rcl=faee8bc70570192d82d2978a71e2a615788597d1) for a list of supported timezone IDs. Passing `null` disables timezone emulation.
- returns: <[Promise]>

#### page.emulateVisionDeficiency(type)
- `type` <?[string]> Simulates the given vision deficiency on the page. Supported vision deficiency types are `'achromatopsia'`, `'deuteranopia'`, `'protanopia'`, `'tritanopia'`, `'blurredVision'`, and `'none'`.

```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://v8.dev/blog/10-years');

  await page.emulateVisionDeficiency('achromatopsia');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'achromatopsia.png' });

  await page.emulateVisionDeficiency('deuteranopia');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'deuteranopia.png' });

  await page.emulateVisionDeficiency('blurredVision');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'blurred-vision.png' });

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

#### page.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

If the function passed to the `page.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `page.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If the function passed to the `page.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `page.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.

Passing arguments to `pageFunction`:
```js
const result = await page.evaluate(x => {
  return Promise.resolve(8 * x);
}, 7);
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```

A string can also be passed in instead of a function:
```js
console.log(await page.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
const x = 10;
console.log(await page.evaluate(`1 + ${x}`)); // prints "11"
```

[ElementHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `page.evaluate`:
```js
const bodyHandle = await page.$('body');
const html = await page.evaluate(body => body.innerHTML, bodyHandle);
await bodyHandle.dispose();
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)](#frameevaluatepagefunction-args).

#### page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.

The only difference between `page.evaluate` and `page.evaluateHandle` is that `page.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).

If the function passed to the `page.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `page.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

A string can also be passed in instead of a function:
```js
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle('document'); // Handle for the 'document'
```

[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `page.evaluateHandle`:
```js
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());
await resultHandle.dispose();
```

This function will return a [JSHandle] by default, however if your `pageFunction` returns an HTML element you will get back an `ElementHandle`:

```js
const button = await page.evaluateHandle(() => document.querySelector('button'))
// button is an ElementHandle, so you can call methods such as click:
await button.click();
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().executionContext().evaluateHandle(pageFunction, ...args)](#executioncontextevaluatehandlepagefunction-args).

#### page.evaluateOnNewDocument(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]>

Adds a function which would be invoked in one of the following scenarios:
- whenever the page is navigated
- whenever the child frame is attached or navigated. In this case, the function is invoked in the context of the newly attached frame

The function is invoked after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend  the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed `Math.random`.

An example of overriding the navigator.languages property before the page loads:

```js
// preload.js

// overwrite the `languages` property to use a custom getter
Object.defineProperty(navigator, "languages", {
  get: function() {
    return ["en-US", "en", "bn"];
  }
});

// In your puppeteer script, assuming the preload.js file is in same folder of our script
const preloadFile = fs.readFileSync('./preload.js', 'utf8');
await page.evaluateOnNewDocument(preloadFile);
```

#### page.exposeFunction(name, puppeteerFunction)
- `name` <[string]> Name of the function on the window object
- `puppeteerFunction` <[function]> Callback function which will be called in Puppeteer's context.
- returns: <[Promise]>

The method adds a function called `name` on the page's `window` object.
When called, the function executes `puppeteerFunction` in node.js and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of `puppeteerFunction`.

If the `puppeteerFunction` returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.

> **NOTE** Functions installed via `page.exposeFunction` survive navigations.

An example of adding an `md5` function into the page:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const crypto = require('crypto');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  page.on('console', msg => console.log(msg.text()));
  await page.exposeFunction('md5', text =>
    crypto.createHash('md5').update(text).digest('hex')
  );
  await page.evaluate(async () => {
    // use window.md5 to compute hashes
    const myString = 'PUPPETEER';
    const myHash = await window.md5(myString);
    console.log(`md5 of ${myString} is ${myHash}`);
  });
  await browser.close();
})();
```

An example of adding a `window.readfile` function into the page:

```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const fs = require('fs');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  page.on('console', msg => console.log(msg.text()));
  await page.exposeFunction('readfile', async filePath => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', (err, text) => {
        if (err)
          reject(err);
        else
          resolve(text);
      });
    });
  });
  await page.evaluate(async () => {
    // use window.readfile to read contents of a file
    const content = await window.readfile('/etc/hosts');
    console.log(content);
  });
  await browser.close();
})();
```

#### page.focus(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to focus. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be focused.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully focused. The promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.

This method fetches an element with `selector` and focuses it.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().focus(selector)](#framefocusselector).

#### page.frames()
- returns: <[Array]<[Frame]>> An array of all frames attached to the page.

#### page.goBack([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
    - `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. If
can not go back, resolves to `null`.

Navigate to the previous page in history.

#### page.goForward([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
    - `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. If
can not go forward, resolves to `null`.

Navigate to the next page in history.

#### page.goto(url[, options])
- `url` <[string]> URL to navigate page to. The url should include scheme, e.g. `https://`.
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
    - `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
  - `referer` <[string]> Referer header value. If provided it will take preference over the referer header value set by [page.setExtraHTTPHeaders()](#pagesetextrahttpheadersheaders).
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect.

`page.goto` will throw an error if:
- there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates).
- target URL is invalid.
- the `timeout` is exceeded during navigation.
- the remote server does not respond or is unreachable.
- the main resource failed to load.

`page.goto` will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error".  The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling [response.status()](#responsestatus).

> **NOTE** `page.goto` either throws an error or returns a main resource response. The only exceptions are navigation to `about:blank` or navigation to the same URL with a different hash, which would succeed and return `null`.

> **NOTE** Headless mode doesn't support navigation to a PDF document. See the [upstream issue](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=761295).

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().goto(url, options)](#framegotourl-options)

> **NOTE** Generating a pdf is currently only supported in Chrome headless.

`page.pdf()` generates a pdf of the page with `print` css media. To generate a pdf with `screen` media, call [page.emulateMediaType('screen')](#pageemulatemediatypetype) before calling `page.pdf()`:

> **NOTE** By default, `page.pdf()` generates a pdf with modified colors for printing. Use the [`-webkit-print-color-adjust`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-webkit-print-color-adjust) property to force rendering of exact colors.

```js
// Generates a PDF with 'screen' media type.
await page.emulateMediaType('screen');
await page.pdf({path: 'page.pdf'});
```

The `width`, `height`, and `margin` options accept values labeled with units. Unlabeled values are treated as pixels.

A few examples:
- `page.pdf({width: 100})` - prints with width set to 100 pixels
- `page.pdf({width: '100px'})` - prints with width set to 100 pixels
- `page.pdf({width: '10cm'})` - prints with width set to 10 centimeters.

All possible units are:
- `px` - pixel
- `in` - inch
- `cm` - centimeter
- `mm` - millimeter

The `format` options are:
- `Letter`: 8.5in x 11in
- `Legal`: 8.5in x 14in
- `Tabloid`: 11in x 17in
- `Ledger`: 17in x 11in
- `A0`: 33.1in x 46.8in
- `A1`: 23.4in x 33.1in
- `A2`: 16.54in x 23.4in
- `A3`: 11.7in x 16.54in
- `A4`: 8.27in x 11.7in
- `A5`: 5.83in x 8.27in
- `A6`: 4.13in x 5.83in

> **NOTE** `headerTemplate` and `footerTemplate` markup have the following limitations:
> 1. Script tags inside templates are not evaluated.
> 2. Page styles are not visible inside templates.

#### page.queryObjects(prototypeHandle)
- `prototypeHandle` <[JSHandle]> A handle to the object prototype.
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a handle to an array of objects with this prototype.

```js
// Create a Map object
await page.evaluate(() => window.map = new Map());
// Get a handle to the Map object prototype
const mapPrototype = await page.evaluateHandle(() => Map.prototype);
// Query all map instances into an array
const mapInstances = await page.queryObjects(mapPrototype);
// Count amount of map objects in heap
const count = await page.evaluate(maps => maps.length, mapInstances);
await mapInstances.dispose();
await mapPrototype.dispose();
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().executionContext().queryObjects(prototypeHandle)](#executioncontextqueryobjectsprototypehandle).

#### page.reload([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
    - `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.

#### page.screenshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Options object which might have the following properties:
  - `path` <[string]> The file path to save the image to. The screenshot type will be inferred from file extension. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd). If no path is provided, the image won't be saved to the disk.
  - `type` <[string]> Specify screenshot type, can be either `jpeg` or `png`. Defaults to 'png'.
  - `quality` <[number]> The quality of the image, between 0-100. Not applicable to `png` images.

Triggers a `change` and `input` event once all the provided options have been selected.
If there's no `<select>` element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

```js
page.select('select#colors', 'blue'); // single selection
page.select('select#colors', 'red', 'green', 'blue'); // multiple selections
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().select()](#frameselectselector-values)

#### page.setBypassCSP(enabled)
- `enabled` <[boolean]> sets bypassing of page's Content-Security-Policy.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Toggles bypassing page's Content-Security-Policy.

> **NOTE** CSP bypassing happens at the moment of CSP initialization rather then evaluation. Usually this means
that `page.setBypassCSP` should be called before navigating to the domain.

#### page.setCacheEnabled([enabled])
- `enabled` <[boolean]> sets the `enabled` state of the cache.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Toggles ignoring cache for each request based on the enabled state. By default, caching is enabled.

#### page.setContent(html[, options])
- `html` <[string]> HTML markup to assign to the page.
- `options` <[Object]> Parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds for resources to load, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider setting markup succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, setting content is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider setting content to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider setting content to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider setting content to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.

```js
await page.setCookie(cookieObject1, cookieObject2);
```

#### page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds

This setting will change the default maximum navigation time for the following methods and related shortcuts:
- [page.goBack([options])](#pagegobackoptions)
- [page.goForward([options])](#pagegoforwardoptions)
- [page.goto(url[, options])](#pagegotourl-options)
- [page.reload([options])](#pagereloadoptions)
- [page.setContent(html[, options])](#pagesetcontenthtml-options)

- [page.waitForXPath(xpath[, options])](#pagewaitforxpathxpath-options)

> **NOTE** [`page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) takes priority over [`page.setDefaultTimeout`](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout)

#### page.setExtraHTTPHeaders(headers)
- `headers` <[Object]> An object containing additional HTTP headers to be sent with every request. All header values must be strings.
- returns: <[Promise]>

The extra HTTP headers will be sent with every request the page initiates.

> **NOTE** page.setExtraHTTPHeaders does not guarantee the order of headers in the outgoing requests.

#### page.setGeolocation(options)
- `options` <[GeolocationOptions](####GeolocationOptions)>
- returns: <[Promise]>

Sets the page's geolocation.

```js
await page.setGeolocation({latitude: 59.95, longitude: 30.31667});
```

> **NOTE** Consider using [browserContext.overridePermissions](#browsercontextoverridepermissionsorigin-permissions) to grant permissions for the page to read its geolocation.

#### page.setJavaScriptEnabled(enabled)
- `enabled` <[boolean]> Whether or not to enable JavaScript on the page.
- returns: <[Promise]>

> **NOTE** changing this value won't affect scripts that have already been run. It will take full effect on the next [navigation](#pagegotourl-options).

#### page.setOfflineMode(enabled)
- `enabled` <[boolean]> When `true`, enables offline mode for the page.
- returns: <[Promise]>

#### page.setRequestInterception(value)
- `value` <[boolean]> Whether to enable request interception.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Activating request interception enables `request.abort`, `request.continue` and
`request.respond` methods.  This provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by a page.

Once request interception is enabled, every request will stall unless it's continued, responded or aborted.
An example of a naïve request interceptor that aborts all image requests:

```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.setRequestInterception(true);
  page.on('request', interceptedRequest => {
    if (interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.png') || interceptedRequest.url().endsWith('.jpg'))
      interceptedRequest.abort();
    else
      interceptedRequest.continue();
  });
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  await browser.close();
})();
```

> **NOTE** Enabling request interception disables page caching.

#### page.setUserAgent(userAgent)
- `userAgent` <[string]> Specific user agent to use in this page
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the user agent is set.

#### page.setViewport(viewport)
- `viewport` <[Object]>
  - `width` <[number]> page width in pixels. **required**
  - `height` <[number]> page height in pixels. **required**
  - `deviceScaleFactor` <[number]> Specify device scale factor (can be thought of as dpr). Defaults to `1`.
  - `isMobile` <[boolean]> Whether the `meta viewport` tag is taken into account. Defaults to `false`.
  - `hasTouch`<[boolean]> Specifies if viewport supports touch events. Defaults to `false`
  - `isLandscape` <[boolean]> Specifies if viewport is in landscape mode. Defaults to `false`.
- returns: <[Promise]>

> **NOTE** in certain cases, setting viewport will reload the page in order to set the `isMobile` or `hasTouch` properties.

In the case of multiple pages in a single browser, each page can have its own viewport size.

`page.setViewport` will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should set the viewport before navigating to the page.

```js
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setViewport({
  width: 640,
  height: 480,
  deviceScaleFactor: 1,
});
await page.goto('https://example.com');
```

#### page.tap(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to tap. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be tapped.
- returns: <[Promise]>

This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.touchscreen](#pagetouchscreen) to tap in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().tap(selector)](#frametapselector).

#### page.target()
- returns: <[Target]> a target this page was created from.

#### page.title()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>> The page's title.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().title()](#frametitle).

#### page.touchscreen
- returns: <[Touchscreen]>

#### page.tracing
- returns: <[Tracing]>

#### page.type(selector, text[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to type into. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.

To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`keyboard.press`](#keyboardpresskey-options).

```js
await page.type('#mytextarea', 'Hello'); // Types instantly
await page.type('#mytextarea', 'World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().type(selector, text[, options])](#frametypeselector-text-options).

#### page.url()
- returns: <[string]>

This is a shortcut for [page.mainFrame().url()](#frameurl)

#### page.viewport()
- returns: <?[Object]>
  - `width` <[number]> page width in pixels.
  - `height` <[number]> page height in pixels.
  - `deviceScaleFactor` <[number]> Specify device scale factor (can be though of as dpr). Defaults to `1`.
  - `isMobile` <[boolean]> Whether the `meta viewport` tag is taken into account. Defaults to `false`.
  - `hasTouch`<[boolean]> Specifies if viewport supports touch events. Defaults to `false`
  - `isLandscape` <[boolean]> Specifies if viewport is in landscape mode. Defaults to `false`.

#### page.waitFor(selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout[, options[, ...args]])
- `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` <[string]|[number]|[function]> A [selector], predicate or timeout to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible. Defaults to `false`.
  - `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
  - `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden. Defaults to `false`.
  - `polling` <[string]|[number]> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
    - `raf` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
    - `mutation` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to  `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a JSHandle of the success value

This method behaves differently with respect to the type of the first parameter:
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `string`, then the first argument is treated as a [selector] or [xpath], depending on whether or not it starts with '//', and the method is a shortcut for
  [page.waitForSelector](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options) or [page.waitForXPath](#pagewaitforxpathxpath-options)
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `function`, then the first argument is treated as a predicate to wait for and the method is a shortcut for [page.waitForFunction()](#pagewaitforfunctionpagefunction-options-args).
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `number`, then the first argument is treated as a timeout in milliseconds and the method returns a promise which resolves after the timeout
- otherwise, an exception is thrown

```js
// wait for selector
await page.waitFor('.foo');
// wait for 1 second
await page.waitFor(1000);
// wait for predicate
await page.waitFor(() => !!document.querySelector('.foo'));
```

To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitFor` function:

```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitFor(selector => !!document.querySelector(selector), {}, selector);
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitFor(selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout[, options[, ...args]])](#framewaitforselectororfunctionortimeout-options-args).

#### page.waitForFileChooser([options])
- `options` <[WaitTimeoutOptions](####WaitTimeoutOptions)> Optional waiting parameters
- returns: <[Promise]<[FileChooser]>> A promise that resolves after a page requests a file picker.

> **NOTE** In non-headless Chromium, this method results in the native file picker dialog **not showing up** for the user.

This method is typically coupled with an action that triggers file choosing.
The following example clicks a button that issues a file chooser, and then
responds with `/tmp/myfile.pdf` as if a user has selected this file.

```js
const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForFileChooser(),
  page.click('#upload-file-button'), // some button that triggers file selection
]);
await fileChooser.accept(['/tmp/myfile.pdf']);
```

> **NOTE** This must be called *before* the file chooser is launched. It will not return a currently active file chooser.


#### page.waitForFunction(pageFunction[, options[, ...args]])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `polling` <[string]|[number]> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
    - `raf` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
    - `mutation` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
  - `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to  `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves when the `pageFunction` returns a truthy value. It resolves to a JSHandle of the truthy value.

The `waitForFunction` can be used to observe viewport size change:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  const watchDog = page.waitForFunction('window.innerWidth < 100');
  await page.setViewport({width: 50, height: 50});
  await watchDog;
  await browser.close();
})();
```

To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitForFunction` function:

```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitForFunction(selector => !!document.querySelector(selector), {}, selector);
```

The predicate of `page.waitForFunction` can be asynchronous too:

```js
const username = 'github-username';
await page.waitForFunction(async username => {
  const githubResponse = await fetch(`https://api.github.com/users/${username}`);
  const githubUser = await githubResponse.json();
  // show the avatar
  const img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = githubUser.avatar_url;
  // wait 3 seconds
  await new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(resolve, 3000));
  img.remove();
}, {}, username);
```

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitForFunction(pageFunction[, options[, ...args]])](#framewaitforfunctionpagefunction-options-args).

#### page.waitForNavigation([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
    - `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to History API usage, the navigation will resolve with `null`.

This resolves when the page navigates to a new URL or reloads. It is useful for when you run code
which will indirectly cause the page to navigate. Consider this example:

```js
const [response] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForNavigation(), // The promise resolves after navigation has finished
  page.click('a.my-link'), // Clicking the link will indirectly cause a navigation
]);
```

**NOTE** Usage of the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) to change the URL is considered a navigation.

Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitForNavigation(options)](#framewaitfornavigationoptions).

#### page.waitForRequest(urlOrPredicate[, options])
- `urlOrPredicate` <[string]|[Function]> A URL or predicate to wait for.
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<[HTTPRequest]>> Promise which resolves to the matched request.

```js
const firstRequest = await page.waitForRequest('http://example.com/resource');
const finalRequest = await page.waitForRequest(request => request.url() === 'http://example.com' && request.method() === 'GET');
return firstRequest.url();
```

#### page.waitForResponse(urlOrPredicate[, options])
- `urlOrPredicate` <[string]|[Function]> A URL or predicate to wait for.
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the matched response.

```js
const firstResponse = await page.waitForResponse('https://example.com/resource');
const finalResponse = await page.waitForResponse(response => response.url() === 'https://example.com' && response.status() === 200);
return finalResponse.ok();
```

#### page.waitForSelector(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
  - `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
  - `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and selector is not found in DOM.

Wait for the `selector` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `selector` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the selector doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.

This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  let currentURL;
  page
    .waitForSelector('img')
    .then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
  for (currentURL of ['https://example.com', 'https://google.com', 'https://bbc.com']) {
    await page.goto(currentURL);
  }
  await browser.close();
})();
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitForSelector(selector[, options])](#framewaitforselectorselector-options).

#### page.waitForXPath(xpath[, options])
- `xpath` <[string]> A [xpath] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
  - `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
  - `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by xpath string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and xpath is not found in DOM.

Wait for the `xpath` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `xpath` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the xpath doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.

This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  let currentURL;
  page
    .waitForXPath('//img')
    .then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
  for (currentURL of ['https://example.com', 'https://google.com', 'https://bbc.com']) {
    await page.goto(currentURL);
  }
  await browser.close();
})();
```
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().waitForXPath(xpath[, options])](#framewaitforxpathxpath-options).

#### page.workers()
- returns: <[Array]<[Worker]>>
This method returns all of the dedicated [WebWorkers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) associated with the page.

> **NOTE** This does not contain ServiceWorkers

#### GeolocationOptions
- `latitude` <[number]> Latitude between -90 and 90.
- `longitude` <[number]> Longitude between -180 and 180.
- `accuracy` <[number]> Optional non-negative accuracy value.

#### WaitTimeoutOptions
- `timeout` <[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.


### class: WebWorker

The WebWorker class represents a [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).
The events `workercreated` and `workerdestroyed` are emitted on the page object to signal the worker lifecycle.

```js
page.on('workercreated', worker => console.log('Worker created: ' + worker.url()));
page.on('workerdestroyed', worker => console.log('Worker destroyed: ' + worker.url()));

console.log('Current workers:');
for (const worker of page.workers())
  console.log('  ' + worker.url());
```

#### webWorker.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the worker context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `worker.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `worker.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.

Shortcut for [(await worker.executionContext()).evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)](#executioncontextevaluatepagefunction-args).

#### webWorker.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.

The only difference between `worker.evaluate` and `worker.evaluateHandle` is that `worker.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).

If the function passed to the `worker.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `worker.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].

Shortcut for [(await worker.executionContext()).evaluateHandle(pageFunction, ...args)](#executioncontextevaluatehandlepagefunction-args).

#### webWorker.executionContext()
- returns: <[Promise]<[ExecutionContext]>>

#### webWorker.url()
- returns: <[string]>

### class: Accessibility

The Accessibility class provides methods for inspecting Chromium's accessibility tree. The accessibility tree is used by assistive technology such as [screen readers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader) or [switches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_access).

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.



#### accessibility.snapshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `interestingOnly` <[boolean]> Prune uninteresting nodes from the tree. Defaults to `true`.
  - `root` <[ElementHandle]> The root DOM element for the snapshot. Defaults to the whole page.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>> An [AXNode] object with the following properties:
  - `role` <[string]> The [role](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#usage_intro).
  - `name` <[string]> A human readable name for the node.
  - `value` <[string]|[number]> The current value of the node.
  - `description` <[string]> An additional human readable description of the node.
  - `keyshortcuts` <[string]> Keyboard shortcuts associated with this node.
  - `roledescription` <[string]> A human readable alternative to the role.
  - `valuetext` <[string]> A description of the current value.
  - `disabled` <[boolean]> Whether the node is disabled.
  - `expanded` <[boolean]> Whether the node is expanded or collapsed.
  - `focused` <[boolean]> Whether the node is focused.
  - `modal` <[boolean]> Whether the node is [modal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window).
  - `multiline` <[boolean]> Whether the node text input supports multiline.
  - `multiselectable` <[boolean]> Whether more than one child can be selected.
  - `readonly` <[boolean]> Whether the node is read only.
  - `required` <[boolean]> Whether the node is required.
  - `selected` <[boolean]> Whether the node is selected in its parent node.
  - `checked` <[boolean]|"mixed"> Whether the checkbox is checked, or "mixed".
  - `pressed` <[boolean]|"mixed"> Whether the toggle button is checked, or "mixed".
  - `level` <[number]> The level of a heading.
  - `valuemin` <[number]> The minimum value in a node.
  - `valuemax` <[number]> The maximum value in a node.
  - `autocomplete` <[string]> What kind of autocomplete is supported by a control.
  - `haspopup` <[string]> What kind of popup is currently being shown for a node.
  - `invalid` <[string]> Whether and in what way this node's value is invalid.
  - `orientation` <[string]> Whether the node is oriented horizontally or vertically.
  - `children` <[Array]<[Object]>> Child [AXNode]s of this node, if any.

Captures the current state of the accessibility tree. The returned object represents the root accessible node of the page.

> **NOTE** The Chromium accessibility tree contains nodes that go unused on most platforms and by
most screen readers. Puppeteer will discard them as well for an easier to process tree,
unless `interestingOnly` is set to `false`.

An example of dumping the entire accessibility tree:
```js
const snapshot = await page.accessibility.snapshot();
console.log(snapshot);
```

An example of logging the focused node's name:
```js
const snapshot = await page.accessibility.snapshot();
const node = findFocusedNode(snapshot);
console.log(node && node.name);

function findFocusedNode(node) {
  if (node.focused)
    return node;
  for (const child of node.children || []) {
    const foundNode = findFocusedNode(child);
    return foundNode;
  }
  return null;
}
```

### class: Keyboard

Keyboard provides an api for managing a virtual keyboard. The high level api is [`keyboard.type`](#keyboardtypetext-options), which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page.

For finer control, you can use [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options), [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey), and [`keyboard.sendCharacter`](#keyboardsendcharacterchar) to manually fire events as if they were generated from a real keyboard.

An example of holding down `Shift` in order to select and delete some text:
```js
await page.keyboard.type('Hello World!');
await page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');

await page.keyboard.down('Shift');
for (let i = 0; i < ' World'.length; i++)
  await page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
await page.keyboard.up('Shift');

await page.keyboard.press('Backspace');
// Result text will end up saying 'Hello!'
```

An example of pressing `A`
```js
await page.keyboard.down('Shift');
await page.keyboard.press('KeyA');
await page.keyboard.up('Shift');
```

> **NOTE** On MacOS, keyboard shortcuts like `⌘ A` -> Select All do not work. See [#1313](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/1313)

#### keyboard.down(key[, options])
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [USKeyboardLayout] for a list of all key names.
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `text` <[string]> If specified, generates an input event with this text.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Dispatches a `keydown` event.

If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.

If `key` is a modifier key, `Shift`, `Meta`, `Control`, or `Alt`, subsequent key presses will be sent with that modifier active. To release the modifier key, use [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).

After the key is pressed once, subsequent calls to [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options) will have [repeat](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/repeat) set to true. To release the key, use [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).

> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO influence `keyboard.down`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.

#### keyboard.press(key[, options])
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [USKeyboardLayout] for a list of all key names.
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `text` <[string]> If specified, generates an input event with this text.
  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `keydown` and `keyup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>

If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.

> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO affect `keyboard.press`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.

Shortcut for [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey-options) and [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).

#### keyboard.sendCharacter(char)
- `char` <[string]> Character to send into the page.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Dispatches a `keypress` and `input` event. This does not send a `keydown` or `keyup` event.

```js
page.keyboard.sendCharacter('嗨');
```

> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO NOT affect `keyboard.sendCharacter`. Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.

#### keyboard.type(text[, options])
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.

To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`keyboard.press`](#keyboardpresskey-options).

```js
await page.keyboard.type('Hello'); // Types instantly
await page.keyboard.type('World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```

> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO NOT affect `keyboard.type`. Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.

#### keyboard.up(key)
- `key` <[string]> Name of key to release, such as `ArrowLeft`. See [USKeyboardLayout] for a list of all key names.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Dispatches a `keyup` event.

### class: Mouse

The Mouse class operates in main-frame CSS pixels relative to the top-left corner of the viewport.

Every `page` object has its own Mouse, accessible with [`page.mouse`](#pagemouse).

```js
// Using ‘page.mouse’ to trace a 100x100 square.
await page.mouse.move(0, 0);
await page.mouse.down();
await page.mouse.move(0, 100);
await page.mouse.move(100, 100);
await page.mouse.move(100, 0);
await page.mouse.move(0, 0);
await page.mouse.up();
```

Note that the mouse events trigger synthetic `MouseEvent`s.
This means that it does not fully replicate the functionality of what a normal user would be able to do with their mouse.

For example, dragging and selecting text is not possible using `page.mouse`.
Instead, you can use the [`DocumentOrShadowRoot.getSelection()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DocumentOrShadowRoot/getSelection) functionality implemented in the platform.

For example, if you want to select all content between nodes:
```js
await page.evaluate((from, to) => {
  const selection = from.getRootNode().getSelection();
  const range = document.createRange();
  range.setStartBefore(from);
  range.setEndAfter(to);
  selection.removeAllRanges();
  selection.addRange(range);
}, fromJSHandle, toJSHandle);
```

If you then would want to copy-paste your selection, you can use the clipboard api:

```js
// The clipboard api does not allow you to copy, unless the tab is focused.
await page.bringToFront();
await page.evaluate(() => {
  // Copy the selected content to the clipboard
  document.execCommand('copy');
  // Obtain the content of the clipboard as a string
  return navigator.clipboard.readText();
});
```

Note that if you want access to the clipboard API, you have to give it permission to do so:

```js
await browser.defaultBrowserContext().overridePermissions('<your origin>', ['clipboard-read', 'clipboard-write']);
```

#### mouse.click(x, y[, options])
- `x` <[number]>
- `y` <[number]>
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
  - `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Shortcut for [`mouse.move`](#mousemovex-y-options), [`mouse.down`](#mousedownoptions) and [`mouse.up`](#mouseupoptions).

#### mouse.down([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
  - `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
- returns: <[Promise]>

Dispatches a `mousedown` event.

#### mouse.move(x, y[, options])
- `x` <[number]>
- `y` <[number]>
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `steps` <[number]> defaults to 1. Sends intermediate `mousemove` events.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Dispatches a `mousemove` event.

#### mouse.up([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
  - `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
- returns: <[Promise]>

Dispatches a `mouseup` event.

#### mouse.wheel([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `deltaX` X delta in CSS pixels for mouse wheel event (default: 0). Positive values emulate a scroll up and negative values a scroll down event.
  - `deltaY` Y delta in CSS pixels for mouse wheel event (default: 0). Positive values emulate a scroll right and negative values a scroll left event.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Dispatches a `mousewheel` event.

Examples:
```js
await page.goto('https://mdn.mozillademos.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/wheel_event$samples/Scaling_an_element_via_the_wheel?revision=1587366');

const elem = await page.$('div');
const boundingBox = await elem.boundingBox();
await page.mouse.move(
  boundingBox.x + boundingBox.width / 2,
  boundingBox.y + boundingBox.height / 2
);

await page.mouse.wheel({ deltaY: -100 })
```

### class: Touchscreen

#### touchscreen.tap(x, y)
- `x` <[number]>
- `y` <[number]>
- returns: <[Promise]>

Dispatches a `touchstart` and `touchend` event.

### class: Tracing

You can use [`tracing.start`](#tracingstartoptions) and [`tracing.stop`](#tracingstop) to create a trace file which can be opened in Chrome DevTools or [timeline viewer](https://chromedevtools.github.io/timeline-viewer/).

```js
await page.tracing.start({path: 'trace.json'});
await page.goto('https://www.google.com');
await page.tracing.stop();
```

#### tracing.start([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `path` <[string]> A path to write the trace file to.
  - `screenshots` <[boolean]> captures screenshots in the trace.
  - `categories` <[Array]<[string]>> specify custom categories to use instead of default.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Only one trace can be active at a time per browser.

#### tracing.stop()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Buffer]>> Promise which resolves to buffer with trace data.

### class: FileChooser

[FileChooser] objects are returned via the ['page.waitForFileChooser'](#pagewaitforfilechooseroptions) method.

File choosers let you react to the page requesting for a file.

An example of using [FileChooser]:

```js
const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForFileChooser(),
  page.click('#upload-file-button'), // some button that triggers file selection
]);
await fileChooser.accept(['/tmp/myfile.pdf']);
```

> **NOTE** 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.

#### fileChooser.accept(filePaths)
- `filePaths` <[Array]<[string]>> Accept the file chooser request with given paths. If some of the  `filePaths` are relative paths, then they are resolved relative to the [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- returns: <[Promise]>

#### fileChooser.cancel()
- returns: <[Promise]>

Closes the file chooser without selecting any files.

#### fileChooser.isMultiple()
- returns: <[boolean]> Whether file chooser allow for [multiple](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/file#attr-multiple) file selection.

### class: Dialog

[Dialog] objects are dispatched by page via the ['dialog'](#event-dialog) event.

An example of using `Dialog` class:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  page.on('dialog', async dialog => {
    console.log(dialog.message());
    await dialog.dismiss();
    await browser.close();
  });
  page.evaluate(() => alert('1'));
})();
```

#### dialog.accept([promptText])
- `promptText` <[string]> A text to enter in prompt. Does not cause any effects if the dialog's `type` is not prompt.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the dialog has been accepted.

#### dialog.defaultValue()
- returns: <[string]> If dialog is prompt, returns default prompt value. Otherwise, returns empty string.

#### dialog.dismiss()
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the dialog has been dismissed.

#### dialog.message()
- returns: <[string]> A message displayed in the dialog.

#### dialog.type()
- returns: <[string]> Dialog's type, can be one of `alert`, `beforeunload`, `confirm` or `prompt`.

### class: ConsoleMessage

[ConsoleMessage] objects are dispatched by page via the ['console'](#event-console) event.

#### consoleMessage.args()
- returns: <[Array]<[JSHandle]>>

#### consoleMessage.location()
- returns: <[Object]>
  - `url` <[string]> URL of the resource if known or `undefined` otherwise.
  - `lineNumber` <[number]> 0-based line number in the resource if known or `undefined` otherwise.
  - `columnNumber` <[number]> 0-based column number in the resource if known or `undefined` otherwise.

#### consoleMessage.text()
- returns: <[string]>

#### consoleMessage.type()
- returns: <[string]>

One of the following values: `'log'`, `'debug'`, `'info'`, `'error'`, `'warning'`, `'dir'`, `'dirxml'`, `'table'`, `'trace'`, `'clear'`, `'startGroup'`, `'startGroupCollapsed'`, `'endGroup'`, `'assert'`, `'profile'`, `'profileEnd'`, `'count'`, `'timeEnd'`.

### class: Frame

At every point of time, page exposes its current frame tree via the [page.mainFrame()](#pagemainframe) and [frame.childFrames()](#framechildframes) methods.

[Frame] object's lifecycle is controlled by three events, dispatched on the page object:
- ['frameattached'](#event-frameattached) - fired when the frame gets attached to the page. A Frame can be attached to the page only once.
- ['framenavigated'](#event-framenavigated) - fired when the frame commits navigation to a different URL.
- ['framedetached'](#event-framedetached) - fired when the frame gets detached from the page.  A Frame can be detached from the page only once.

An example of dumping frame tree:

```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html');
  dumpFrameTree(page.mainFrame(), '');
  await browser.close();

  function dumpFrameTree(frame, indent) {
    console.log(indent + frame.url());
    for (const child of frame.childFrames()) {
      dumpFrameTree(child, indent + '  ');
    }
  }
})();
```

An example of getting text from an iframe element:

```js
  const frame = page.frames().find(frame => frame.name() === 'myframe');
  const text = await frame.$eval('.selector', element => element.textContent);
  console.log(text);
```

#### frame.$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to ElementHandle pointing to the frame element.

The method queries frame for the selector. If there's no such element within the frame, the method will resolve to `null`.

#### frame.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>> Promise which resolves to ElementHandles pointing to the frame elements.

The method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the frame. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.

#### frame.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

This method runs `Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))` within the frame and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`.

If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:
```js
const divsCounts = await frame.$$eval('div', divs => divs.length);
```

#### frame.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

This method runs `document.querySelector` within the frame and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:
```js
const searchValue = await frame.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
const preloadHref = await frame.$eval('link[rel=preload]', el => el.href);
const html = await frame.$eval('.main-container', e => e.outerHTML);
```

#### frame.$x(expression)
- `expression` <[string]> Expression to [evaluate](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/evaluate).
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>

The method evaluates the XPath expression.

#### frame.addScriptTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `url` <[string]> URL of a script to be added.
  - `path` <[string]> Path to the JavaScript file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
  - `content` <[string]> Raw JavaScript content to be injected into frame.
  - `type` <[string]> Script type. Use 'module' in order to load a Javascript ES6 module. See [script](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script) for more details.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the script's onload fires or when the script content was injected into frame.

Adds a `<script>` tag into the page with the desired url or content.

#### frame.addStyleTag(options)
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `url` <[string]> URL of the `<link>` tag.
  - `path` <[string]> Path to the CSS file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
  - `content` <[string]> Raw CSS content to be injected into frame.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the stylesheet's onload fires or when the CSS content was injected into frame.

Adds a `<link rel="stylesheet">` tag into the page with the desired url or a `<style type="text/css">` tag with the content.

#### frame.childFrames()
- returns: <[Array]<[Frame]>>

#### frame.click(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to click. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be clicked.
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
  - `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.

This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

Bear in mind that if `click()` triggers a navigation event and there's a separate `page.waitForNavigation()` promise to be resolved, you may end up with a race condition that yields unexpected results. The correct pattern for click and wait for navigation is the following:

```javascript
const [response] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForNavigation(waitOptions),
  frame.click(selector, clickOptions),
]);
```

#### frame.content()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>>

Gets the full HTML contents of the frame, including the doctype.

#### frame.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to  `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

If the function passed to the `frame.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `frame.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If the function passed to the `frame.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `frame.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.

```js
const result = await frame.evaluate(() => {
  return Promise.resolve(8 * 7);
});
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```

A string can also be passed in instead of a function.

```js
console.log(await frame.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
```

[ElementHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `frame.evaluate`:
```js
const bodyHandle = await frame.$('body');
const html = await frame.evaluate(body => body.innerHTML, bodyHandle);
await bodyHandle.dispose();
```

#### frame.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the page context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.

The only difference between `frame.evaluate` and `frame.evaluateHandle` is that `frame.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).

If the function, passed to the `frame.evaluateHandle`, returns a [Promise], then `frame.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].

```js
const aWindowHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(() => Promise.resolve(window));
aWindowHandle; // Handle for the window object.
```

A string can also be passed in instead of a function.

```js
const aHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle('document'); // Handle for the 'document'.
```

[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `frame.evaluateHandle`:
```js
const aHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await frame.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());
await resultHandle.dispose();
```


#### frame.executionContext()
- returns: <[Promise]<[ExecutionContext]>>

Returns promise that resolves to the frame's default execution context.

#### frame.focus(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to focus. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be focused.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully focused. The promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.

This method fetches an element with `selector` and focuses it.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

#### frame.goto(url[, options])
- `url` <[string]> URL to navigate frame to. The url should include scheme, e.g. `https://`.
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
    - `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
  - `referer` <[string]> Referer header value. If provided it will take preference over the referer header value set by [page.setExtraHTTPHeaders()](#pagesetextrahttpheadersheaders).
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect.

`frame.goto` will throw an error if:
- there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates).
- target URL is invalid.
- the `timeout` is exceeded during navigation.
- the remote server does not respond or is unreachable.
- the main resource failed to load.

`frame.goto` will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error".  The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling [response.status()](#responsestatus).

> **NOTE** `frame.goto` either throws an error or returns a main resource response. The only exceptions are navigation to `about:blank` or navigation to the same URL with a different hash, which would succeed and return `null`.

> **NOTE** Headless mode doesn't support navigation to a PDF document. See the [upstream issue](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=761295).


#### frame.hover(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to hover. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be hovered.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully hovered. Promise gets rejected if there's no element matching `selector`.

This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to hover over the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

#### frame.isDetached()
- returns: <[boolean]>

Returns `true` if the frame has been detached, or `false` otherwise.

#### frame.name()
- returns: <[string]>

Returns frame's name attribute as specified in the tag.

If the name is empty, returns the id attribute instead.

> **NOTE** This value is calculated once when the frame is created, and will not update if the attribute is changed later.

#### frame.parentFrame()
- returns: <?[Frame]> Parent frame, if any. Detached frames and main frames return `null`.

#### frame.select(selector, ...values)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query frame for
- `...values` <...[string]> Values of options to select. If the `<select>` has the `multiple` attribute, all values are considered, otherwise only the first one is taken into account.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[string]>>> An array of option values that have been successfully selected.

Triggers a `change` and `input` event once all the provided options have been selected.
If there's no `<select>` element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

```js
frame.select('select#colors', 'blue'); // single selection
frame.select('select#colors', 'red', 'green', 'blue'); // multiple selections
```

#### frame.setContent(html[, options])
- `html` <[string]> HTML markup to assign to the page.
- `options` <[Object]> Parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds for resources to load, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider setting markup succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, setting content is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider setting content to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider setting content to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider setting content to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
    - `networkidle2` - consider setting content to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]>

#### frame.tap(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to search for element to tap. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be tapped.
- returns: <[Promise]>

This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.touchscreen](#pagetouchscreen) to tap in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

#### frame.title()
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]>> The page's title.

#### frame.type(selector, text[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to type into. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.
- `text` <[string]> A text to type into a focused element.
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.

To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`keyboard.press`](#keyboardpresskey-options).

```js
await frame.type('#mytextarea', 'Hello'); // Types instantly
await frame.type('#mytextarea', 'World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```

#### frame.url()
- returns: <[string]>

Returns frame's url.

#### frame.waitFor(selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout[, options[, ...args]])
- `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` <[string]|[number]|[function]> A [selector], predicate or timeout to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to  `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to a JSHandle of the success value

This method behaves differently with respect to the type of the first parameter:
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `string`, then the first argument is treated as a [selector] or [xpath], depending on whether or not it starts with '//', and the method is a shortcut for
  [frame.waitForSelector](#framewaitforselectorselector-options) or [frame.waitForXPath](#framewaitforxpathxpath-options)
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `function`, then the first argument is treated as a predicate to wait for and the method is a shortcut for [frame.waitForFunction()](#framewaitforfunctionpagefunction-options-args).
- if `selectorOrFunctionOrTimeout` is a `number`, then the first argument is treated as a timeout in milliseconds and the method returns a promise which resolves after the timeout
- otherwise, an exception is thrown

```js
// wait for selector
await page.waitFor('.foo');
// wait for 1 second
await page.waitFor(1000);
// wait for predicate
await page.waitFor(() => !!document.querySelector('.foo'));
```

To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitFor` function:

```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitFor(selector => !!document.querySelector(selector), {}, selector);
```

#### frame.waitForFunction(pageFunction[, options[, ...args]])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `polling` <[string]|[number]> An interval at which the `pageFunction` is executed, defaults to `raf`. If `polling` is a number, then it is treated as an interval in milliseconds at which the function would be executed. If `polling` is a string, then it can be one of the following values:
    - `raf` - to constantly execute `pageFunction` in `requestAnimationFrame` callback. This is the tightest polling mode which is suitable to observe styling changes.
    - `mutation` - to execute `pageFunction` on every DOM mutation.
  - `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to  `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves when the `pageFunction` returns a truthy value. It resolves to a JSHandle of the truthy value.

The `waitForFunction` can be used to observe viewport size change:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  const watchDog = page.mainFrame().waitForFunction('window.innerWidth < 100');
  page.setViewport({width: 50, height: 50});
  await watchDog;
  await browser.close();
})();
```

To pass arguments from node.js to the predicate of `page.waitForFunction` function:

```js
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitForFunction(selector => !!document.querySelector(selector), {}, selector);
```

#### frame.waitForNavigation([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Navigation parameters which might have the following properties:
  - `timeout` <[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
  - `waitUntil` <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|Array<PuppeteerLifeCycleMethod>> When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to `load`. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    - `load` - consider navigation to be finished when the `load` event is fired.
    - `domcontentloaded` - consider navigation to be finished when the `DOMContentLoaded` event is fired.
    - `networkidle0` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least `500` ms.
    - `networkidle2` - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least `500` ms.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[HTTPResponse]>> Promise which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to History API usage, the navigation will resolve with `null`.

This resolves when the frame navigates to a new URL. It is useful for when you run code
which will indirectly cause the frame to navigate. Consider this example:

```js
const [response] = await Promise.all([
  frame.waitForNavigation(), // The navigation promise resolves after navigation has finished
  frame.click('a.my-link'), // Clicking the link will indirectly cause a navigation
]);
```

**NOTE** Usage of the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) to change the URL is considered a navigation.


#### frame.waitForSelector(selector[, options])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
  - `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
  - `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by selector string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and selector is not found in DOM.

Wait for the `selector` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `selector` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the selector doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.

This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  let currentURL;
  page.mainFrame()
    .waitForSelector('img')
    .then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
  for (currentURL of ['https://example.com', 'https://google.com', 'https://bbc.com']) {
    await page.goto(currentURL);
  }
  await browser.close();
})();
```

#### frame.waitForXPath(xpath[, options])
- `xpath` <[string]> A [xpath] of an element to wait for
- `options` <[Object]> Optional waiting parameters
  - `visible` <[boolean]> wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
  - `hidden` <[boolean]> wait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
  - `timeout` <[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves when element specified by xpath string is added to DOM. Resolves to `null` if waiting for `hidden: true` and xpath is not found in DOM.

Wait for the `xpath` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling
the method the `xpath` already exists, the method will return
immediately. If the xpath doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.

This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  let currentURL;
  page.mainFrame()
    .waitForXPath('//img')
    .then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
  for (currentURL of ['https://example.com', 'https://google.com', 'https://bbc.com']) {
    await page.goto(currentURL);
  }
  await browser.close();
})();
```

### class: ExecutionContext

The class represents a context for JavaScript execution. A [Page] might have many execution contexts:
- each [frame](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe) has "default" execution context that is
  always created after frame is attached to DOM. This context is returned by the [`frame.executionContext()`](#frameexecutioncontext) method.
- [Extensions](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions)'s content scripts create additional execution contexts.

Besides pages, execution contexts can be found in [workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).

#### executionContext.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in `executionContext`
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

If the function passed to the `executionContext.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `executionContext.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If the function passed to the `executionContext.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `executionContext.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.

```js
const executionContext = await page.mainFrame().executionContext();
const result = await executionContext.evaluate(() => Promise.resolve(8 * 7));
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```

A string can also be passed in instead of a function.

```js
console.log(await executionContext.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
```

[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `executionContext.evaluate`:
```js
const oneHandle = await executionContext.evaluateHandle(() => 1);
const twoHandle = await executionContext.evaluateHandle(() => 2);
const result = await executionContext.evaluate((a, b) => a + b, oneHandle, twoHandle);
await oneHandle.dispose();
await twoHandle.dispose();
console.log(result); // prints '3'.
```

#### executionContext.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated in the `executionContext`
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.

The only difference between `executionContext.evaluate` and `executionContext.evaluateHandle` is that `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).

If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].

If the function passed to the `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `executionContext.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

```js
const context = await page.mainFrame().executionContext();
const aHandle = await context.evaluateHandle(() => Promise.resolve(self));
aHandle; // Handle for the global object.
```

A string can also be passed in instead of a function.

```js
const aHandle = await context.evaluateHandle('1 + 2'); // Handle for the '3' object.
```

[JSHandle] instances can be passed as arguments to the `executionContext.evaluateHandle`:
```js
const aHandle = await context.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await context.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue()); // prints body's innerHTML
await aHandle.dispose();
await resultHandle.dispose();
```

#### executionContext.frame()
- returns: <?[Frame]> Frame associated with this execution context.

> **NOTE** Not every execution context is associated with a frame. For example, workers and extensions have execution contexts that are not associated with frames.


#### executionContext.queryObjects(prototypeHandle)
- `prototypeHandle` <[JSHandle]> A handle to the object prototype.
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> A handle to an array of objects with this prototype

The method iterates the JavaScript heap and finds all the objects with the given prototype.

```js
// Create a Map object
await page.evaluate(() => window.map = new Map());
// Get a handle to the Map object prototype
const mapPrototype = await page.evaluateHandle(() => Map.prototype);
// Query all map instances into an array
const mapInstances = await page.queryObjects(mapPrototype);
// Count amount of map objects in heap
const count = await page.evaluate(maps => maps.length, mapInstances);
await mapInstances.dispose();
await mapPrototype.dispose();
```

### class: JSHandle

JSHandle represents an in-page JavaScript object. JSHandles can be created with the [page.evaluateHandle](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) method.

```js
const windowHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => window);
// ...
```

JSHandle prevents the referenced JavaScript object being garbage collected unless the handle is [disposed](#jshandledispose). JSHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated or the parent context gets destroyed.

JSHandle instances can be used as arguments in [`page.$eval()`](#pageevalselector-pagefunction-args), [`page.evaluate()`](#pageevaluatepagefunction-args) and [`page.evaluateHandle`](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) methods.

#### jsHandle.asElement()
- returns: <?[ElementHandle]>

Returns either `null` or the object handle itself, if the object handle is an instance of [ElementHandle].

#### jsHandle.dispose()
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the object handle is successfully disposed.

The `jsHandle.dispose` method stops referencing the element handle.

#### jsHandle.evaluate(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Object]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.

If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `handle.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet .retweets');
expect(await tweetHandle.evaluate(node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```

#### jsHandle.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.

This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.

The only difference between `jsHandle.evaluate` and `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).

If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].

If the function passed to the `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

See [Page.evaluateHandle](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) for more details.

#### jsHandle.executionContext()
- returns: <[ExecutionContext]>

Returns execution context the handle belongs to.

#### jsHandle.getProperties()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Map]<[string], [JSHandle]>>>

The method returns a map with property names as keys and JSHandle instances for the property values.

```js
const handle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => ({window, document}));
const properties = await handle.getProperties();
const windowHandle = properties.get('window');
const documentHandle = properties.get('document');
await handle.dispose();
```

#### jsHandle.getProperty(propertyName)
- `propertyName` <[string]> property to get
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>>

Fetches a single property from the referenced object.

#### jsHandle.jsonValue()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>>

Returns a JSON representation of the object. If the object has a
[`toJSON`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify#toJSON()_behavior)
function, it **will not be called**.

> **NOTE** The method will return an empty JSON object if the referenced object is not stringifiable. It will throw an error if the object has circular references.

### class: ElementHandle
* extends: [JSHandle]

ElementHandle represents an in-page DOM element. ElementHandles can be created with the [page.$](#pageselector) method.

```js
const puppeteer = require('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 DOM element from garbage collection unless the handle is [disposed](#elementhandledispose). ElementHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated.

ElementHandle instances can be used as arguments in [`page.$eval()`](#pageevalselector-pagefunction-args) and [`page.evaluate()`](#pageevaluatepagefunction-args) methods.

#### elementHandle.$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query element for
- returns: <[Promise]<?[ElementHandle]>>

The method runs `element.querySelector` within the page. If no element matches the selector, the return value resolves to `null`.

#### elementHandle.$$(selector)
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query element for
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>

The method runs `element.querySelectorAll` within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to `[]`.

#### elementHandle.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Array]<[Element]>\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

This method runs `document.querySelectorAll` within the element and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:
```html
<div class="feed">
  <div class="tweet">Hello!</div>
  <div class="tweet">Hi!</div>
</div>
```
```js
const feedHandle = await page.$('.feed');
expect(await feedHandle.$$eval('.tweet', nodes => nodes.map(n => n.innerText))).toEqual(['Hello!', 'Hi!']);
```

#### elementHandle.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, ...args])
- `selector` <[string]> A [selector] to query page for
- `pageFunction` <[function]\([Element]\)> Function to be evaluated in browser context
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

This method runs `document.querySelector` within the element and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.like', node => node.innerText)).toBe('100');
expect(await tweetHandle.$eval('.retweets', node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```

#### elementHandle.$x(expression)
- `expression` <[string]> Expression to [evaluate](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/evaluate).
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>>

The method evaluates the XPath expression relative to the elementHandle. If there are no such elements, the method will resolve to an empty array.

#### elementHandle.asElement()
- returns: <[ElementHandle]>

#### elementHandle.boundingBox()
- returns: <[Promise]<?[Object]>>
  - x <[number]> the x coordinate of the element in pixels.
  - y <[number]> the y coordinate of the element in pixels.
  - width <[number]> the width of the element in pixels.
  - height <[number]> the height of the element in pixels.

This method returns the bounding box of the element (relative to the main frame), or `null` if the element is not visible.

#### elementHandle.boxModel()
- returns: <[Promise]<?[Object]>>
  - content <[Array]<[Object]>> Content box.
    - x <[number]>

  - margin <[Array]<[Object]>> Margin box.
    - x <[number]>
    - y <[number]>
  - width <[number]> Element's width.
  - height <[number]> Element's height.

This method returns boxes of the element, or `null` if the element is not visible. Boxes are represented as an array of points; each Point is an object `{x, y}`. Box points are sorted clock-wise.

#### elementHandle.click([options])
- `options` <[Object]>
  - `button` <"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
  - `clickCount` <[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element is successfully clicked. Promise gets rejected if the element is detached from DOM.

This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.

- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`

This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.

If `pageFunction` returns a [Promise], then `handle.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:
```js
const tweetHandle = await page.$('.tweet .retweets');
expect(await tweetHandle.evaluate(node => node.innerText)).toBe('10');
```

#### elementHandle.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, ...args])
- `pageFunction` <[function]|[string]> Function to be evaluated
- `...args` <...[Serializable]|[JSHandle]> Arguments to pass to `pageFunction`
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]|[ElementHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as an in-page object.

This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.

The only difference between `evaluateHandle.evaluate` and `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `executionContext.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).

If the function returns an element, the returned handle is an [ElementHandle].

If the function passed to the `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

See [Page.evaluateHandle](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-args) for more details.

#### elementHandle.executionContext()
- returns: <[ExecutionContext]>

#### elementHandle.focus()

const properties = await listHandle.getProperties();
const children = [];
for (const property of properties.values()) {
  const element = property.asElement();
  if (element)
    children.push(element);
}
children; // holds elementHandles to all children of document.body
```

#### elementHandle.getProperty(propertyName)
- `propertyName` <[string]> property to get
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>>

Fetches a single property from the objectHandle.

#### elementHandle.hover()
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element is successfully hovered.

This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to hover over the center of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.

#### elementHandle.isIntersectingViewport()
- returns: <[Promise]<[boolean]>> Resolves to true if the element is visible in the current viewport.

#### elementHandle.jsonValue()
- returns: <[Promise]<[Object]>>

Returns a JSON representation of the object. The JSON is generated by running [`JSON.stringify`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify) on the object in page and consequent [`JSON.parse`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/parse) in puppeteer.

> **NOTE** The method will throw if the referenced object is not stringifiable.

#### elementHandle.press(key[, options])

If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also be generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.

> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO affect `elementHandle.press`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.

#### elementHandle.screenshot([options])
- `options` <[Object]> Same options as in [page.screenshot](#pagescreenshotoptions).
- returns: <[Promise]<[string]|[Buffer]>> Promise which resolves to buffer or a base64 string (depending on the value of `options.encoding`) with captured screenshot.

This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [page.screenshot](#pagescreenshotoptions) to take a screenshot of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.

#### elementHandle.select(...values)
- `...values` <...[string]> Values of options to select. If the `<select>` has the `multiple` attribute, all values are considered, otherwise only the first one is taken into account.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Array]<[string]>>> An array of option values that have been successfully selected.

Triggers a `change` and `input` event once all the provided options have been selected.
If there's no `<select>` element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.

```js
handle.select('blue'); // single selection
handle.select('red', 'green', 'blue'); // multiple selections
```

#### elementHandle.tap()
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element is successfully tapped. Promise gets rejected if the element is detached from DOM.

This method scrolls element into view if needed, and then uses [touchscreen.tap](#touchscreentapx-y) to tap in the center of the element.
If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.

#### elementHandle.toString()
- returns: <[string]>

#### elementHandle.type(text[, options])

  - `delay` <[number]> Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Focuses the element, and then sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.

To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [`elementHandle.press`](#elementhandlepresskey-options).

```js
await elementHandle.type('Hello'); // Types instantly
await elementHandle.type('World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```

An example of typing into a text field and then submitting the form:
```js
const elementHandle = await page.$('input');
await elementHandle.type('some text');
await elementHandle.press('Enter');
```

#### elementHandle.uploadFile(...filePaths)
- `...filePaths` <...[string]> Sets the value of the file input to these paths. If some of the  `filePaths` are relative paths, then they are resolved relative to the [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- returns: <[Promise]>

This method expects `elementHandle` to point to an [input element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input).

### class: HTTPRequest

Whenever the page sends a request, such as for a network resource, the following events are emitted by puppeteer's page:
- [`'request'`](#event-request) emitted when the request is issued by the page.
- [`'response'`](#event-response) emitted when/if the response is received for the request.
- [`'requestfinished'`](#event-requestfinished) emitted when the response body is downloaded and the request is complete.

If request fails at some point, then instead of `'requestfinished'` event (and possibly instead of 'response' event), the  [`'requestfailed'`](#event-requestfailed) event is emitted.

> **NOTE** HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with `'requestfinished'` event.

If request gets a 'redirect' response, the request is successfully finished with the 'requestfinished' event, and a new request is  issued to a redirected url.

#### httpRequest.abort([errorCode])
- `errorCode` <[string]> Optional error code. Defaults to `failed`, could be
  one of the following:
  - `aborted` - An operation was aborted (due to user action)
  - `accessdenied` - Permission to access a resource, other than the network, was denied
  - `addressunreachable` - The IP address is unreachable. This usually means
    that there is no route to the specified host or network.
  - `blockedbyclient` - The client chose to block the request.
  - `blockedbyresponse` - The request failed because the response was delivered along with requirements which are not met ('X-Frame-Options' and 'Content-Security-Policy' ancestor checks, for instance).
  - `connectionaborted` - A connection timed out as a result of not receiving an ACK for data sent.
  - `connectionclosed` - A connection was closed (corresponding to a TCP FIN).
  - `connectionfailed` - A connection attempt failed.
  - `connectionrefused` - A connection attempt was refused.
  - `connectionreset` - A connection was reset (corresponding to a TCP RST).
  - `internetdisconnected` - The Internet connection has been lost.
  - `namenotresolved` - The host name could not be resolved.
  - `timedout` - An operation timed out.
  - `failed` - A generic failure occurred.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Aborts request. To use this, request interception should be enabled with `page.setRequestInterception`.
Exception is immediately thrown if the request interception is not enabled.

#### httpRequest.continue([overrides])
- `overrides` <[Object]> Optional request overwrites, which can be one of the following:
  - `url` <[string]> If set, the request url will be changed. This is not a redirect. The request will be silently forwarded to the new url. For example, the address bar will show the original url.
  - `method` <[string]> If set changes the request method (e.g. `GET` or `POST`)
  - `postData` <[string]> If set changes the post data of request
  - `headers` <[Object]> If set changes the request HTTP headers. Header values will be converted to a string.
- returns: <[Promise]>

Continues request with optional request overrides. To use this, request interception should be enabled with `page.setRequestInterception`.
Exception is immediately thrown if the request interception is not enabled.

```js
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
  // Override headers
  const headers = Object.assign({}, request.headers(), {
    foo: 'bar', // set "foo" header
    origin: undefined, // remove "origin" header
  });
  request.continue({headers});
});
```

#### httpRequest.failure()
- returns: <?[Object]> Object describing request failure, if any
  - `errorText` <[string]> Human-readable error message, e.g. `'net::ERR_FAILED'`.

The method returns `null` unless this request was failed, as reported by
`requestfailed` event.

Example of logging all failed requests:

```js
page.on('requestfailed', request => {
  console.log(request.url() + ' ' + request.failure().errorText);
});
```

#### httpRequest.frame()
- returns: <?[Frame]> A [Frame] that initiated this request, or `null` if navigating to error pages.

#### httpRequest.headers()
- returns: <[Object]> An object with HTTP headers associated with the request. All header names are lower-case.

#### httpRequest.postData()
- returns: <[string]> Request's post body, if any.

#### httpRequest.redirectChain()
- returns: <[Array]<[HTTPRequest]>>

A `redirectChain` is a chain of requests initiated to fetch a resource.
- If there are no redirects and the request was successful, the chain will be empty.
- If a server responds with at least a single redirect, then the chain will
contain all the requests that were redirected.

`redirectChain` is shared between all the requests of the same chain.

For example, if the website `http://example.com` has a single redirect to
`https://example.com`, then the chain will contain one request:

```js
const response = await page.goto('http://example.com');
const chain = response.request().redirectChain();
console.log(chain.length); // 1
console.log(chain[0].url()); // 'http://example.com'
```

If the website `https://google.com` has no redirects, then the chain will be empty:
```js
const response = await page.goto('https://google.com');
const chain = response.request().redirectChain();
console.log(chain.length); // 0
```

#### httpRequest.resourceType()
- returns: <[string]>

Contains the request's resource type as it was perceived by the rendering engine.
ResourceType will be one of the following: `document`, `stylesheet`, `image`, `media`, `font`, `script`, `texttrack`, `xhr`, `fetch`, `eventsource`, `websocket`, `manifest`, `other`.

#### httpRequest.respond(response)
- `response` <[Object]> Response that will fulfill this request
  - `status` <[number]> Response status code, defaults to `200`.
  - `headers` <[Object]> Optional response headers. Header values will be converted to a string.
  - `contentType` <[string]> If set, equals to setting `Content-Type` response header
  - `body` <[string]|[Buffer]> Optional response body
- returns: <[Promise]>

Fulfills request with given response. To use this, request interception should
be enabled with `page.setRequestInterception`. Exception is thrown if
request interception is not enabled.

An example of fulfilling all requests with 404 responses:

```js
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
  request.respond({
    status: 404,
    contentType: 'text/plain',
    body: 'Not Found!'
  });
});
```

> **NOTE** Mocking responses for dataURL requests is not supported.
> Calling `request.respond` for a dataURL request is a noop.

executed code:

```js
// Enable both JavaScript and CSS coverage
await Promise.all([
  page.coverage.startJSCoverage(),
  page.coverage.startCSSCoverage()
]);
// Navigate to page
await page.goto('https://example.com');
// Disable both JavaScript and CSS coverage
const [jsCoverage, cssCoverage] = await Promise.all([
  page.coverage.stopJSCoverage(),
  page.coverage.stopCSSCoverage(),
]);
let totalBytes = 0;
let usedBytes = 0;
const coverage = [...jsCoverage, ...cssCoverage];
for (const entry of coverage) {
  totalBytes += entry.text.length;
  for (const range of entry.ranges)
    usedBytes += range.end - range.start - 1;
}
console.log(`Bytes used: ${usedBytes / totalBytes * 100}%`);
```

_To output coverage in a form consumable by [Istanbul](https://github.com/istanbuljs),

- returns: `this` so you can chain method calls

#### eventEmitter.removeListener(event, handler)
- `event` <[string]|[symbol]> the event to remove the handler from.
- `handler` <[Function]> the event listener that will be removed.
- returns: `this` so you can chain method calls

This method is identical to `off` and maintained for compatibility with Node's EventEmitter. We recommend using `off` by default.
