Patchright is a patched, undetected fork of the Playwright browser automation framework that evades bot-detection systems like Cloudflare. It works as a drop-in replacement for Playwright, available for Python, NodeJS, and .NET, but only supports Chromium-based browsers.

Use cases

  • scrape websites protected by Cloudflare bot detection
  • automate browser tasks without being detected as a bot
  • replace playwright with an undetected drop-in alternative
  • run stealth browser automation scripts in python
  • automate logins and form submissions on sites with bot checks
  • control chromium headlessly for web automation

When to choose

  • you need Playwright's API but must bypass bot detection like Cloudflare
  • you are automating Chromium and stealth matters
  • you want a drop-in Playwright replacement for scraping or botting

When to avoid

  • you need Firefox or WebKit support
  • you only need standard end-to-end testing without stealth
  • you require a fully upstream-supported Playwright feature set
