What Puppeteer is
Puppeteer is a JavaScript library for people who need to automate browser tasks with JavaScript. It provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Firefox, including work such as form submission, UI testing and keyboard input.
It controls browsers through the DevTools Protocol or WebDriver BiDi. Puppeteer runs headless by default, though it can be configured to show a visible browser. It can generate screenshots and PDFs of pages, and can crawl single-page applications to generate pre-rendered content.
