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
