humanization-playwright 0.1.2

A library for human-like interactions in Playwright automation, uses Patchright to avoid bot detection and human-like cursors and typing interactions

Humanization-Playwright

A Python library for simulating human-like browser interactions (mouse movements, typing, clicking, etc.) in automation scripts. Built on top of Patchright, a patched and undetected version of Playwright, this library helps evade bot detection by adding randomness, Bezier curve-based mouse paths, variable delays, and other human-mimicking behaviors. Ideal for web scraping, testing, or automation tasks requiring stealth.

Features

• Human-like Mouse Movements: Uses cubic Bezier curves with jitter and pauses for natural paths.
• Typing and Backspacing: Variable speeds, pauses after spaces, and occasional hesitations.
• Clicking and Hovering: Supports left/right/middle clicks with delays.
• Scrolling and Dragging: Smooth, inertia-based scrolling and drag-and-drop.
• Stealth Integration: Leverages Patchright's patches for undetection (e.g., Runtime.enable leak fixes).
• Configurable: Adjust speed, humanization level, typing CPM, and stealth mode.
• Async Support: Fully asynchronous for efficient Playwright/Patchright usage.
• New Additions: Human waits, mouse overshoot corrections, and more for enhanced realism.

This library is designed as a drop-in enhancement for Patchright scripts, focusing on Chromium-based browsers (Firefox/Webkit not supported).

Installation

Install via PyPI:

pip install humanization-playwright

After installation, set up Patchright's browser for optimal undetection:

playwright install chrome  # Recommended for better stealth than Chromium

Requirements:

• Python 3.8+
• Patchright (automatically installed as a dependency)
• Loguru (for logging, also a dependency)

No additional packages needed; avoid installing extras to maintain stealth.

Usage

Basic Example

Launch a stealthy browser and perform human-like actions:

import asyncio
from Humanization import Humanization, HumanizationConfig

async def main():
    # Configure for slow, highly humanized actions with stealth
    config = HumanizationConfig(
        fast=False,
        humanize=True,
        characters_per_minute=400,
        backspace_cpm=800,
        timeout=10000,
        stealth_mode=True
    )
    
    # Launch undetected context (uses Patchright recommendations)
    Humanization = await Humanization.undetected_launch("/path/to/user_data_dir", config)
    
    # Navigate to a site
    await Humanization.page.goto("https://example.com")
    
    # Locate an element
    search_input = Humanization.page.locator("input#search")
    
    # Human-like typing
    await Humanization.type_at(search_input, "Hello, world!")
    
    # Human-like click
    submit_button = Humanization.page.locator("button#submit")
    await Humanization.click_at(submit_button)
    
    # Scroll down with inertia
    await Humanization.scroll_to(delta_y=500)
    
    # Drag-and-drop example
    draggable = Humanization.page.locator("#draggable")
    dropzone = Humanization.page.locator("#dropzone")
    await Humanization.drag_to(draggable, dropzone)
    
    # Random human pause
    await Humanization.human_wait(min_sec=2, max_sec=5)
    
    # Close the context
    await Humanization.page.context.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Advanced Configuration

The HumanizationConfig dataclass allows fine-tuning:

• fast: bool - Use fewer steps and shorter delays for quicker actions (default: True).
• humanize: bool - Add jitter, pauses, and hesitations (default: True).
• characters_per_minute: float - Typing speed (default: 600).
• backspace_cpm: float - Backspacing speed (default: 1200).
• timeout: float - Milliseconds for element visibility/focus checks (default: 5000).
• stealth_mode: bool - Apply Patchright's undetection defaults (default: True).

Pass custom params to methods, e.g.:

await Humanization.move_to(locator, offset_x=10, offset_y=20, input_mode=True)

Stealth Best Practices

• Always use Humanization.undetected_launch for persistent contexts.
• Run headless=False and avoid custom user agents/headers.
• Combine with Patchright's Chrome channel for maximum undetection.
• Test on anti-bot sites to verify.

Logging

Uses Loguru for debug/info/error logs. Logs to Humanization.log by default (rotates at 100 MB).
