Nodriver is a fully asynchronous Python browser automation and web scraping library, and the official successor to Undetected-Chromedriver. It communicates directly with Chromium-based browsers via the Chrome DevTools Protocol without Selenium or chromedriver, optimizing for evasion of anti-bot systems like Cloudflare, Captcha, and Imperva.

Use cases

  • scrape websites protected by Cloudflare or other anti-bot systems
  • automate browser tasks without selenium or chromedriver
  • write async python bots that control chrome
  • bypass captcha and WAF checks during web scraping
  • automate logins and reuse saved cookies
  • find and interact with page elements by text or CSS selector
  • connect to an already running chrome debug session

When to choose

  • you need undetected browser automation in Python against anti-bot-protected sites
  • you want a lightweight async alternative to Selenium/Playwright for Chromium
  • you are migrating from undetected-chromedriver
  • you need direct CDP access with sensible defaults

When to avoid

  • you need Firefox or Safari support (Chromium-based browsers only)
  • you need a synchronous API
  • your project cannot comply with the AGPL-3.0 license
  • you need cross-browser testing infrastructure like Playwright or Selenium Grid
