The puppeteer website describes Puppeteer asĪ Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. In this article, we’ll look at Puppeteer, a Node-based library for use with Chrome/Chromium. These capabilities can be further enhanced and automated by third-party tools. Browser developer tools provide an amazing array of options for delving under the hood of websites and web apps.
