Wrapper around Playwright to help launch Camoufox

Project description

Camoufox Python Interface

Lightweight wrapper around the Playwright API to help launch Camoufox.


Installation

First, install the camoufox package:

pip install -U camoufox

Then, download the Camoufox browser:

Windows

camoufox fetch

MacOS & Linux

python3 -m camoufox fetch

To uninstall, run camoufox remove.

CLI options
Usage: python -m camoufox [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  fetch    Fetch the latest version of Camoufox
  remove   Remove all downloaded files
  test     Open the Playwright inspector
  version  Display the current version

Usage

Camoufox is fully compatible with your existing Playwright code. You only have to change your browser initialization:

Sync API

from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox

with Camoufox(headless=False) as browser:
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://example.com/")

Async API

from camoufox.async_api import AsyncCamoufox

async with AsyncCamoufox(headless=False) as browser:
    page = await browser.new_page()
    await page.goto("https://example.com")
Parameters
Launches a new browser instance for Camoufox.
Accepts all Playwright Firefox launch options, along with the following:

Parameters:
    playwright (Playwright):
        The playwright instance to use.
    config (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]):
        The configuration to use.
    addons (Optional[List[str]]):
        The addons to use.
    fingerprint (Optional[Fingerprint]):
        The fingerprint to use.
    exclude_addons (Optional[List[DefaultAddons]]):
        The default addons to exclude, passed as a list of camoufox.DefaultAddons enums.
    screen (Optional[browserforge.fingerprints.Screen]):
        The screen constraints to use.
    os (Optional[ListOrString]):
        The operating system to use for the fingerprint. Either a string or a list of strings.
    user_agent (Optional[ListOrString]):
        The user agent to use for the fingerprint. Either a string or a list of strings.
    fonts (Optional[List[str]]):
        The fonts to load into Camoufox, in addition to the default fonts.
    args (Optional[List[str]]):
        The arguments to pass to the browser.
    executable_path (Optional[str]):
        The path to the Camoufox browser executable.
    **launch_options (Dict[str, Any]):
        Additional Firefox launch options.

Config

Camoufox config data can be passed as a dictionary to the config parameter:

from camoufox import Camoufox

with Camoufox(
    config={
        'webrtc:ipv4': '123.45.67.89',
        'webrtc:ipv6': 'e791:d37a:88f6:48d1:2cad:2667:4582:1d6d',
    }
) as browser:
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://www.browserscan.net/webrtc")

BrowserForge Integration

Camoufox is compatible with BrowserForge fingerprints.

By default, Camoufox will use a random fingerprint. You can also inject your own Firefox Browserforge fingerprint into Camoufox with the following example:

from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox
from browserforge.fingerprints import FingerprintGenerator

fg = FingerprintGenerator(browser='firefox')

# Launch Camoufox with a random Firefox fingerprint
with Camoufox(fingerprint=fg.generate()) as browser:
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://example.com/")

Note: As of now, some properties from BrowserForge fingerprints will not be passed to Camoufox. This is due to the outdated fingerprint dataset from Apify's fingerprint-suite (see here). Properties will be re-enabled as soon as an updated dataset is available.
