Connect Playwright To BlitzBrowser
To connect Playwright to BlitzBrowser, you have to change the method launch() to connectOverCDP(`...`).
How to connect
To connect your code, you have to replace launch() with connectOverCDP(`...`). We suggest to pass the ACCESS_KEY as an environment variable to avoid hardcoding your access key directly in
the code. The connectOverCDP(`...`) method establishes a connection between Playwright
to a remote browser. Playwright will get full control of one of our browsers via the Chrome DevTools
Protocol (CDP). Once you disconnect from the browser, the remote browser is killed.
import { chromium } from 'playwright';
// const browser = await chromium.launch();
const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(
`wss://cdp.blitzbrowser.com?accessKey=${process.env.ACCESS_KEY}`
);
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
// ...
await browser.close();import asyncio
import os
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
async def main():
playwright = await async_playwright().start()
browser = await playwright.chromium.connect_over_cdp(
f"wss://cdp.blitzbrowser.com?accessKey={os.environ.get("ACCESS_KEY")}"
)
context = await browser.new_context()
page = await context.new_page()
# ...
await browser.close()
await playwright.stop()
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())package com.example.demo;
import com.microsoft.playwright.Browser;
import com.microsoft.playwright.BrowserContext;
import com.microsoft.playwright.Page;
import com.microsoft.playwright.Playwright;
public class PlaywrightJavaExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create();
Browser browser = playwright.chromium().connectOverCDP(
"wss://cdp.blitzbrowser.com?accessKey=" + System.getenv("ACCESS_KEY")
)
) {
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
Page page = context.newPage();
// ...
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
