Playwright

Playwright

Microsoft Playwright is the leading browser automation framework used by AI agents to navigate the web, extract data, fill forms, click buttons, and take screenshots — all with a single async API that works across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit.

Key Features

• Multi-browser — one API for Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit (including mobile emulation)
• Auto-wait — automatically waits for elements to be actionable before interacting
• Network interception — mock, intercept, and modify HTTP requests at the browser level
• Tracing & screenshots — full trace viewer with timeline, DOM snapshots, and screenshots for every step
• Codegen — record browser interactions and export to Python, TypeScript, Java, or C#
• Headless & headed — run invisibly in CI or visibly for debugging
• MCP server — official @playwright/mcp MCP server lets agents drive browsers via tool calls

Quick Start

pip install playwright
playwright install chromium

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

    browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=True)
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://example.com")
    print(page.title())
    browser.close()
