- The minimum Windows versions supporting the WebSocket library are Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. Read more. If you need to run Puppeteer-Sharp on Windows 7 you can use System.Net.WebSockets.Client.Managed through the LaunchOptions.WebSocketFactory property.
- If you have issues running Chrome on Linux, the Puppeteer repo has a great troubleshooting guide.

Usage
Take screenshots
await new BrowserFetcher().DownloadAsync(BrowserFetcher.DefaultRevision);
var browser = await Puppeteer.LaunchAsync(new LaunchOptions
{
Headless = true
});
var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.GoToAsync("http://www.google.com");
await page.ScreenshotAsync(outputFile);
You can also change the view port before generating the screenshot
await page.SetViewportAsync(new ViewPortOptions
{
Width = 500,
Height = 500
});
Generate PDF files
await new BrowserFetcher().DownloadAsync(BrowserFetcher.DefaultRevision);
var browser = await Puppeteer.LaunchAsync(new LaunchOptions
{
Headless = true
});
var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.GoToAsync("http://www.google.com");
await page.PdfAsync(outputFile);
Inject HTML
using(var page = await browser.NewPageAsync())
{
await page.SetContentAsync("<div>My Receipt</div>");
var result = await page.GetContentAsync();
await page.PdfAsync(outputFile);
SaveHtmlToDB(result);
}
Evaluate Javascript
using (var page = await browser.NewPageAsync())
{
var seven = await page.EvaluateExpressionAsync<int>("4 + 3");
var someObject = await page.EvaluateFunctionAsync<dynamic>("(value) => ({a: value})", 5);
Console.WriteLine(someObject.a);
}
Wait For Selector
using (var page = await browser.NewPageAsync())
{
await page.GoToAsync("http://www.spapage.com");
await page.WaitForSelectorAsync("div.main-content")
await page.PdfAsync(outputFile));
}
Wait For Function
using (var page = await browser.NewPageAsync())
{
await page.GoToAsync("http://www.spapage.com");
var watchDog = page.WaitForFunctionAsync("()=> window.innerWidth < 100");
await page.SetViewportAsync(new ViewPortOptions { Width = 50, Height = 50 });
await watchDog;
}
Connect to a remote browser
var options = new ConnectOptions()
{
BrowserWSEndpoint = $"wss://www.externalbrowser.io?token={apikey}"
};
var url = "https://www.google.com/";
using (var browser = await PuppeteerSharp.Puppeteer.ConnectAsync(options))
{
using (var page = await browser.NewPageAsync())
{
await page.GoToAsync(url);
await page.PdfAsync("wot.pdf");
}
}
