The headless Chrome/Chromium driver on top of Puppeteer. Take screenshots, generate PDFs, extract text and HTML with a production-ready API.

Package Exports

  • browserless
  • browserless/src/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (browserless) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About

This is the core package of the browserless monorepo. It provides a high-level, performance-oriented API for headless Chrome/Chromium automation built on top of Puppeteer.

What this package does

The browserless package serves as the main entry point and orchestrator for the entire browserless ecosystem. It handles:

  • Browser process management: Spawns and manages headless Chrome/Chromium processes with optimized flags for performance and stability. Includes automatic respawning when the browser disconnects.

  • Browser context isolation: Creates isolated browser contexts (similar to browser tabs) with separate cookies and cache, enabling concurrent operations without cross-contamination.

  • Built-in methods: Provides ready-to-use methods for common tasks:

    • html(url) – Serialize page content to HTML
    • text(url) – Extract plain text from a page
    • pdf(url) – Generate PDF documents
    • screenshot(url) – Capture screenshots with device emulation and overlay support

  • Reliability features: Built-in retry logic, timeout handling, and graceful error recovery for production environments.

How it fits in the monorepo

This package integrates and re-exports functionality from other @browserless/* packages:

Dependency Purpose
@browserless/goto Page navigation with smart waiting strategies, ad blocking, and evasion techniques
@browserless/screenshot Screenshot capture with overlays, device emulation, and code highlighting
@browserless/pdf PDF generation with customizable margins and scaling
@browserless/errors Standardized error handling and timeout errors
