🕷️ Chuscraper

Stealth-focused Web & Mobile automation framework powered by CDP and ADB
You Only Scrape Once — data extraction made smarter, faster, and more resilient.

🚀 What is Chuscraper?

Chuscraper is a Python web & mobile scraping library that uses CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) for web and ADB (Android Debug Bridge) for mobile apps. It extracts structured data, interacts with pages/screens, and automates workflows — with a heavy focus on Anti-Detection and Stealth.

It converts standard Chromium instances into undetectable agents that can bypass bot verification systems like Cloudflare, Akamai, and Datadome, while also allowing control of native Android apps for data extraction.

🌟 Key Features

📱 Native Mobile App Scraping (New!)

Chuscraper now supports scraping native Android apps using ADB:

• UI Automation: Tap, swipe, and type on any connected Android device (Real or Emulator).
• XML Dumping: Extract the full UI hierarchy as XML to find elements by text, resource-id, or content-desc.
• Background Execution: Run scripts without touching the device.
• Zero-Setup: Just enable USB Debugging and connect. No Appium server required.

🕵️‍♂️ Dynamic Stealth & Fingerprinting (New!)

Chuscraper now includes an advanced Auto-Update and Fingerprint Rotation engine:

• Auto-Update Chrome Version: Automatically detects your installed Chrome version and updates the User-Agent to match. No manual updates required!
• Fingerprint Rotation: Randomizes hardware fingerprints (RAM, CPU, Screen Resolution) per session while strictly adhering to your host OS (Windows, macOS, Linux) to prevent OS mismatch detection.
• Client Hints Sync: Automatically patches navigator.userAgentData to match the User-Agent string.
• Advanced Stealth Patches: 6 core JS bypasses for WebDriver, Chrome Runtime, Canvas/WebGL noise, and iFrame leaks.
• Modern Timezones: Automatically syncs browser timezone with IP location using modern IANA names.

⚡ Async + Fast

Built on async CDP, low overhead, no heavy browser bundles.

🔄 Advanced Selector & Extraction Engine (New!)

Chuscraper now includes a high-performance parsing engine:

• Adaptive Selectors: Save and automatically relocate elements even if the DOM structure changes.
• AI-Ready Extraction: One-click conversion of pages or elements to clean Markdown or normalized Text.
• CSS & XPath Support: Unified API for high-speed selection.

🔄 Flexible Outputs

Supports JSON, CSV, Markdown, Excel, Pydantic, and more.

📦 Installation

pip install chuscraper

[!TIP] Use within a virtual environment to avoid conflicts.

---

Example: Advanced Mode (Adaptive Stealth + Selectors)

import asyncio
import chuscraper as zd
from chuscraper.core.stealth import SystemProfile

async def main():
    # Use standard Chrome via Browser.create
    async with await zd.Browser.create(proxy="http://user:pass@host:port") as browser:
        tab = await browser.get("https://www.makemytrip.com/hotels")

        # 1. Apply Industry-Leading Stealth
        profile = SystemProfile.from_system(cookie_domain="makemytrip.com")
        await profile.apply(tab)

        # 2. Use Adaptive Selectors (Resilient to DOM changes)
        # 'adaptive=True' saves the element's properties for future relocation
        hotels = await tab.select_all("h1.hotelName", adaptive=True)
        
        for hotel in hotels:
            # 3. Use AI-Ready Extraction
            print(await hotel.to_text())
            print(await hotel.to_markdown())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

[!NOTE] chuscraper automatically handles Chrome process cleanup and Local Proxy lifecycle.

⚙️ Configuration Switches (Parameters)

Chuscraper gives you full control via zd.start(). Here are the powerful switches you can use:

🛠️ Core Switches

Switch	Description	Default
headless	Run without a visible window (True/False)	False
stealth	Master Switch for advanced anti-detection (System Fingerprints + JS Bypasses)	False
stealth_domain	The domain used for cookie storage/loading in stealth mode	""
user_data_dir	Path to save/load browser profile (keep logins/cookies)	Temp
proxy	Proxy URL (e.g. http://user:pass@host:port)	None

🚀 Advanced Switches

Switch	Description	Default
browser_executable_path	Custom path to Chrome/Brave binary (auto-detect if omitted)	Auto
browser	Browser selection: "auto", "chrome", "brave"	"auto"
browser_args	Extra Chromium args list	[]
sandbox	Set False for Linux/Docker/root environments	True
lang	Browser locale/language (e.g., en-US, hi-IN)	en-US
user_agent	Manually override User-Agent (not recommended with stealth=True)	Auto
disable_webrtc	Prevent IP leaks via WebRTC	True
disable_webgl	Disable WebGL (can reduce detection surface in some setups)	False
timezone	Force timezone (IANA format, e.g. Asia/Kolkata)	Auto/None
stealth_options	Dict for fine-grained stealth patches	Built-in defaults
retry_enabled	Enable retry helpers for unstable workflows	False
retry_timeout	Retry timeout seconds	10.0
retry_count	Retry count	3
browser_connection_timeout	Wait between connection attempts	0.25
browser_connection_max_tries	Browser connection retries	10

🕵️‍♂️ Granular Stealth Options

When stealth=True, you can fine-tune specific patches by passing a stealth_options dict:

await zd.start(stealth=True, stealth_options={
    "patch_webdriver": True,  # Hide WebDriver
    "patch_webgl": True,      # Spoof Graphics Card
    "patch_canvas": True,     # Add Canvas Noise
    "patch_audio": False      # Disable Audio Fingerprinting noise
})

📱 Mobile Scraping Example

Scrape data from any native Android app (e.g., Hotel/Flight apps):

import asyncio
from chuscraper.mobile import MobileDevice

async def main():
    # Connect to first available device
    device = await MobileDevice().connect()

    # Example: Searching for hotels
    city_input = await device.find_element(text="Enter destination")
    if city_input:
        await city_input.type("Goa")

    search_btn = await device.find_element(resource_id="com.hotel.app:id/search_btn")
    if search_btn:
        await search_btn.click()

    # Extract prices
    prices = await device.find_elements(resource_id="com.hotel.app:id/price_text")
    for price in prices:
        print(price.get_text())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
