What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Node.js library providing a chainable, Promise-based API for controlling the PhantomJS headless browser, supporting page navigation, form interaction, and multi-tab browsing. It is no longer maintained, with maintainers recommending Puppeteer or Nightmare instead.
Use cases
- scrape web pages from node
- automate form filling and clicking in a headless browser
- take screenshots of web pages
- run headless browser tests
- extract text or count elements on a page
- open multiple browser tabs concurrently
When to choose
- you are locked into legacy PhantomJS-based infrastructure
- maintaining an old codebase that already uses node-horseman
When to avoid
- starting any new project - it is officially unsupported
- you need modern browser support - use Puppeteer or Playwright
- you need active maintenance or security updates
