puppeteer-real-browser

This package prevents Puppeteer from being detected as a bot in services like Cloudflare and allows you to pass captchas without any problems. It behaves like a real browser.

Warnings

If you want to change the fingerprint values of the browser, please check this library: https://github.com/pavlealeksic/puppeteer-afp You can check whether it has changed or not from this link https://fingerprint.com/demo/.
It serves on a port on localhost to act like a real browser. The port must be closed when the process is finished. To close it, simply call browser.close(). In this method, operations to close the port are performed.
If you want the cloudflare Captcha to be skipped automatically, you can use this code. CODE

installation

npm i puppeteer-real-browser

If it will run on linux you will also need to install xvfb.

sudo apt-get install xvfb

Include

commanjs

const start = async () => {
    var { puppeteerRealBrowser } = await import('puppeteer-real-browser')
    const { page, browser } = await puppeteerRealBrowser()
}

Module

import {puppeteerRealBrowser} from 'puppeteer-real-browser'

const { page, browser } = await puppeteerRealBrowser()

Usage

This package has 2 types of use. The first one opens the browser and connects with puppeteer. In this usage you cannot install chrome plugin or set puppeteer launch settings. If you don't need these, the first use is the best and lightest. Use 2 runs chromium. Then it opens a new browser with puppeteer.launch and connects to chromium. In total you have 2 browsers open. But you can use the same commands as with puppeteer.launch. Use 2 consumes more resources.

Default Usage

import {puppeteerRealBrowser} from 'puppeteer-real-browser'

// You should use it if you want the fingerprint values of the page to be changed.
// import puppeteerAfp from 'puppeteer-afp'

puppeteerRealBrowser({
    headless: false, // (optional) The default is false. If true is sent, the browser opens incognito. If false is sent, the browser opens visible.

    action:'default', // (optional) If default, it connects with puppeteer by opening the browser and returns you the page and browser. if socket is sent, it returns you the browser url to connect to. 

    executablePath:'default', // (optional) If you want to use a different browser instead of Chromium, you can pass the browser path with this variable.

    // (optional) If you are using a proxy, you can send it as follows.

    // proxy:{
    //     host:'<proxy-host>',
    //     port:'<proxy-port>',
    //     username:'<proxy-username>',
    //     password:'<proxy-password>'
    // }

})
.then(async response => {
    const {browser, page} = response

    // You should use it if you want the fingerprint values of the page to be changed.
    // puppeteerAfp(page);

    await page.goto('<url>')
})
.catch(error=>{
    console.log(error.message)
})

Manageable Usage

This method is not recommended. Open a hidden chromium and connect to it with puppeteer. It consumes more resources. You can use it when you need to do things like installing a Chrome extension. You should use it by default unless you have to.

npm i puppeteer-real-browser puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth

import {puppeteerRealBrowser} from 'puppeteer-real-browser'
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer-extra';
import StealthPlugin from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth'
puppeteer.use(StealthPlugin())

puppeteerRealBrowser({
    headless: true, // (optional) The default is false. If true is sent, the browser opens incognito. If false is sent, the browser opens visible.

    action:'socket', // (optional) If default, it connects with puppeteer by opening the browser and returns you the page and browser. if socket is sent, it returns you the browser url to connect to. 

    executablePath:'default', // (optional) If you want to use a different browser instead of Chromium, you can pass the browser path with this variable.

    // (optional) If you are using a proxy, you can send it as follows.

    // proxy:{
    //     host:'<proxy-host>',
    //     port:'<proxy-port>',
    //     username:'<proxy-username>',
    //     password:'<proxy-password>'
    // }

})
.then(async response => {
    const { browserWSEndpoint, userAgent, closeSession, chromePath } = response

    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        targetFilter: (target) => !!target.url(),
        browserWSEndpoint: browserWSEndpoint,
        ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
        headless: false,
        args: ['--no-sandbox', '--start-maximized', "--window-size=1920,1040"],
        // ... puppeteer args
    });

    const pages = await browser.pages();
    const page = pages[0];

    // If you cannot pass waf in this way, you can try the following user agents respectively.
    
    // await page.setUserAgent(userAgent);
    // await page.setUserAgent(undefined);

    await page.setViewport({
        width: 1920,
        height: 1080,
    });
    
    // You can use it if you need to log in to a proxy.
    // await page.authenticate({ username: proxy.username, password: proxy.password });
    
    await page.goto('<url>')
    // await closeSession()
    // await browser.close()
})
.catch(error=>{
    console.log(error.message)
})
