scrapy-playwright-stealth 0.1.0

A wrapper for scrapy-playwright with stealth features.

scrapy-playwright-stealth: Playwright integration for Scrapy with stealth features 🥷🏻

scrapy-playwright-stealth is a minimal extension of scrapy-playwright that integrates stealth features via tf-playwright-stealth.

This package simplifies the use of browser automation stealth techniques with Scrapy. It automatically applies the spoofing methods provided by tf-playwright-stealth to every page managed by scrapy-playwright.

Installation

pip install scrapy-playwright-stealth

In case you haven't installed the browsers for playwright before, you will also need to run:

playwright install

Activation

Replace the default http and/or https Download Handlers through DOWNLOAD_HANDLERS in settings.py:

# settings.py
DOWNLOAD_HANDLERS = {
    "http": "scrapy_playwright_stealth.handler.ScrapyPlaywrightStealthDownloadHandler",
    "https": "scrapy_playwright_stealth.handler.ScrapyPlaywrightStealthDownloadHandler",
}

The download handler enables the stealth features by default. You can pass PLAYWRIGHT_USE_STEALTH=False in settings.py to deactivate it. In this case the package will behave exactly as scrapy-playwright behaves.

Usage

Refer to the scrapy-playwright documentation.
