Zendriver is an async-first Python web scraping and browser automation framework built on the Chrome Devtools Protocol, forked from nodriver. It drives a real Chrome browser without Selenium/WebDriver, making automation fast and resistant to bot detection.
Use cases
- scrape websites that block selenium and webdriver
- automate chrome browser tasks with python
- bypass cloudflare bot detection while scraping
- run headless browser automation in docker
- automate login flows and save cookies
- scrape content from pages with iframes and infinite scroll
When to choose
- you need undetectable browser automation that evades anti-bot systems
- you want fast async Python control of a real Chrome browser
- you need to deploy browser automation in Docker with a real GPU-accelerated browser
- selenium or playwright is being detected by the target site
When to avoid
- you only need simple HTTP requests without JavaScript rendering
- your project requires a permissive license (AGPL-3.0)
- you need cross-browser support beyond Chrome/Chromium
- you need a long-term stable API from an upstream-maintained project
