lucarne (Python client)

Python client for lucarne — self-hostable browser sessions you can drive (CDP/Playwright), watch + control (porthole), and record, on your own machine and your own IP.

This package is the client. The engine is a Node daemon — install and run it separately (npm install -g lucarne && lucarne serve); you talk to it over HTTP, and drive the browser over CDP with Playwright.

pip install lucarne playwright

from lucarne import LucarneClient
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

luc = LucarneClient("http://127.0.0.1:7800")          # token="..." if the daemon needs one
s = luc.create(profile="demo", backend="native")
print("watch:", s["viewUrl"])

with sync_playwright() as p:
    page = p.chromium.connect_over_cdp(s["cdpUrl"]).contexts[0].pages[0]
    page.goto("https://example.com", wait_until="domcontentloaded")
    print(page.title())

The client is stdlib-only (no dependencies) and covers health / create / list / get / destroy / act / content. For the rest of the API, call the HTTP endpoints directly — see the OpenAPI spec at /openapi.json. MIT © Aaron Volter.
