## What it is
An unofficial Python port of Puppeteer for automating headless Chrome/Chromium browsers via asyncio. This original repository has moved to the pyppeteer/pyppeteer organization and is no longer maintained here.

## Use cases
- scrape javascript-rendered websites with python
- take screenshots of web pages programmatically
- automate browser interactions and form submissions
- evaluate javascript on a page from python
- generate pdf of a webpage headlessly
- test web apps with a headless browser

## When to choose
- you need a puppeteer-like API in Python for legacy Python 3.6+ projects
- you want asyncio-based headless Chrome automation

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the maintained pyppeteer/pyppeteer fork or Playwright instead
- you need current Chrome features or bug fixes, since this repo is unmaintained since 2021

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-scraping, http-client, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, crawlers, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: headless-chrome, puppeteer-port, browser-automation, asyncio, screenshot, moved-to-pyppeteer-pyppeteer, automation
