Ulixee Hero

A few cool highlights about Hero:

  • Built for scraping - it's the first modern headless browsers designed specifically for scraping instead of just automated testing.
  • Designed for web developers - We've recreated a fully compliant DOM directly in NodeJS allowing you bypass the headaches of previous scraper tools.
  • Powered by Chrome - The powerful Chrome engine sits under the hood, allowing for lightning fast rendering.
  • Emulates any modern browser - Emulators make it easy to disguise your script as practically any browser.
  • Avoids detection along the entire stack - Don't be blocked because of TLS fingerprints in your networking stack.

Installation

npm i --save @ulixee/hero-playground

or

yarn add @ulixee/hero-playground

Usage

Hero provides access to the W3C DOM specification without the need for Puppeteer's complicated evaluate callbacks and multi-context switching:

const Hero = require('@ulixee/hero-playground');

(async () => {
  const hero = new Hero();
  await hero.goto('https://example.org');
  const title = await hero.document.title;
  const intro = await hero.document.querySelector('p').textContent;
  await hero.close();
})();
