ichrome - v0.0.7

A toy for using chrome under the Chrome Devtools Protocol(CDP). For python3.6+ (who cares python2.x).

Install

pip install ichrome -U

Why?

• pyppeteer/selenium is awesome, but I don't need so much...

• one way to test CDP

Features

• Chrome process daemon
• Connect to existing chrome debug port
• Operations on Tabs

Examples

Chrome daemon

from ichrome import ChromeDaemon

def main():
    with ChromeDaemon() as chromed:
        # run_forever means auto_restart
        chromed.run_forever(0)
        chrome = Chrome()
        tab = chrome.new_tab()
        time.sleep(3)
        tab.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Connect to existing debug port

from ichrome import Chrome

def main():
    chrome = Chrome()
    print(chrome.tabs)
    # [ChromeTab("6EC65C9051697342082642D6615ECDC0", "about:blank", "about:blank", port: 9222)]
    print(chrome.tabs[0])
    # Tab(about:blank)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Operations on Tab

from ichrome import Chrome

import time


def main():
    chrome = Chrome()
    print(chrome.tabs)
    # [ChromeTab("6EC65C9051697342082642D6615ECDC0", "about:blank", "about:blank", port: 9222)]
    tab = chrome.tabs[0]
    # open a new page
    print(tab.set_url("http://p.3.cn/1", timeout=3))  # {"id":4,"result":{}}
    # reload page
    print(tab.reload())  # {"id":4,"result":{}}
    # Not recommended new_tab with url, use set_url can set a timeout to stop loading
    # tab = chrome.new_tab()
    # tab.set_url("http://p.3.cn", timeout=3)
    tab = chrome.new_tab("http://p.3.cn/new")
    time.sleep(1)
    print("404 Not Found" in tab.get_html("u8"))  # True
    print(tab.current_url)  # http://p.3.cn/new
    tab.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Advanced Usage (Crawling a special background request.)

"""
Test normal usage of ichrome.

1. use `with` context for launching ChromeDaemon daemon process.
2. init Chrome for connecting with chrome background server.
3. Tab ops:
  3.1 create a new tab
  3.2 goto new url with tab.set_url, and will stop load for timeout.
  3.3 get cookies from url
  3.4 inject the jQuery lib by a static url.
  3.5 Network crawling from the background ajax request.
  3.6 click some element by tab.click with css selector.
  3.7 use querySelectorAll to get the elements.

TODO

• Concurrent support. (gevent, threading)

• Add auto_restart while crash.

• Auto remove the zombie tabs with a lifebook.

• Add some useful examples.

• Coroutine support (for asyncio).
