PyDoll Browser Tools

Penguin includes PyDoll integration for browser automation. PyDoll connects directly to Chrome or other browsers via their DevTools protocol, so no separate WebDriver is required.

Features​

  • Human‑like browsing that helps avoid detection
  • Supports captcha bypass and login flows
  • Asynchronous API built on asyncio
  • Screenshot capture and DOM interaction helpers
  • Optional developer mode with a Chrome debugger

Basic Usage​

Some examples of what Penguin would use. (these are from prompt_actions.py)

-   `<pydoll_browser_navigate>URL</pydoll_browser_navigate >`
-   `<pydoll_browser_interact>action:selector[:selector_type][:text]</pydoll_browser_interact >` (actions: `click`, `input`, `submit`, selector_types: `css`, `xpath`, `id`, `class_name`)
-   `<pydoll_browser_screenshot></pydoll_browser_screenshot >`
-   `<pydoll_debug_toggle>[on|off]</pydoll_debug_toggle >` (Enable/disable detailed PyDoll logging and outputs)

Developer mode exposes a lower‑level Chrome debugger for advanced automation. See the source under penguin/tools/notes/chrome_debugger for examples.
