By default, the `playwright` NPM package automatically downloads browser executables during installation. The `playwright-core` NPM package can be used to skip automatic downloads.
Returns a list of devices to be used with [`browser.newContext([options])`](#browsernewcontextoptions) or [`browser.newPage([options])`](#browsernewpageoptions). Actual list of devices can be found in [src/deviceDescriptors.ts](https://github.com/Microsoft/playwright/blob/master/src/deviceDescriptors.ts).
Playwright methods might throw errors if they are unable to fulfill a request. For example, [page.waitForSelector(selector[, options])](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options)
A Browser is created when Playwright connects to a browser instance, either through [`browserType.launch`](#browsertypelaunchoptions) or [`browserType.connect`](#browsertypeconnectoptions).
See [ChromiumBrowser], [FirefoxBrowser] and [WebKitBrowser] for browser-specific features. Note that [browserType.connect(options)](#browsertypeconnectoptions) and [browserType.launch([options])](#browsertypelaunchoptions) always return a specific browser instance, based on the browser being connected to or launched.
In case this browser is obtained using [browserType.connect](#browsertypeconnectoptions), clears all created contexts belonging to this browser and disconnects from the browser server.
-`deviceScaleFactor`<[number]> Specify device scale factor (can be thought of as dpr). Defaults to `1`.
-`isMobile`<[boolean]> Whether the `meta viewport` tag is taken into account and touch events are enabled. Defaults to `false`. Not supported in Firefox.
-`hasTouch`<[boolean]> Specifies if viewport supports touch events. Defaults to false.
-`timezoneId`<[string]> Changes the timezone of the context. See [ICU’s `metaZones.txt`](https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/icu/source/data/misc/metaZones.txt?rcl=faee8bc70570192d82d2978a71e2a615788597d1) for a list of supported timezone IDs.
-`accuracy`<[number]> Non-negative accuracy value. Defaults to `0`.
-`locale`<[string]> Specify user locale, for example `en-GB`, `de-DE`, etc. Locale will affect `navigator.language` value, `Accept-Language` request header value as well as number and date formatting rules.
-`permissions`<[Array]<[string]>> A list of permissions to grant to all pages in this context. See [browserContext.grantPermissions](#browsercontextgrantpermissionspermissions-options) for more details.
-`userAgent`<[string]> Specific user agent to use in this context.
-`deviceScaleFactor`<[number]> Specify device scale factor (can be thought of as dpr). Defaults to `1`.
-`isMobile`<[boolean]> Whether the `meta viewport` tag is taken into account and touch events are enabled. Defaults to `false`. Not supported in Firefox.
-`hasTouch`<[boolean]> Specifies if viewport supports touch events. Defaults to false.
-`javaScriptEnabled`<[boolean]> Whether or not to enable or disable JavaScript in the context. Defaults to `true`.
-`timezoneId`<[string]> Changes the timezone of the context. See [ICU’s `metaZones.txt`](https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/icu/source/data/misc/metaZones.txt?rcl=faee8bc70570192d82d2978a71e2a615788597d1) for a list of supported timezone IDs.
-`accuracy`<[number]> Non-negative accuracy value. Defaults to `0`.
-`locale`<[string]> Specify user locale, for example `en-GB`, `de-DE`, etc. Locale will affect `navigator.language` value, `Accept-Language` request header value as well as number and date formatting rules.
-`permissions`<[Array]<[string]>> A list of permissions to grant to all pages in this context. See [browserContext.grantPermissions](#browsercontextgrantpermissionspermissions-options) for more details.
This is a convenience API that should only be used for the single-page scenarios and short snippets. Production code and testing frameworks should explicitly create [browser.newContext](#browsernewcontextoptions) followed by the [browserContext.newPage](#browsercontextnewpage) to control their exact life times.
The event is emitted when a new Page is created in the BrowserContext. The page may still be loading. The event will also fire for popup pages. See also [`Page.on('popup')`](#event-popup) to receive events about popups relevant to a specific page.
The earliest moment that page is available is when it has navigated to the initial url. For example, when opening a popup with `window.open('http://example.com')`, this event will fire when the network request to "http://example.com" is done and its response has started loading in the popup.
> **NOTE** Use [`page.waitForLoadState([state[, options]])`](#pagewaitforloadstatestate-options) to wait until the page gets to a particular state (you should not need it in most cases).
-`script`<[function]|[string]|[Object]> Script to be evaluated in all pages in the browser context.
-`path`<[string]> Path to the JavaScript file. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
Adds a script which would be evaluated in one of the following scenarios:
- Whenever a page is created in the browser context or is navigated.
- Whenever a child frame is attached or navigated in any page in the browser context. In this case, the script is evaluated in the context of the newly attached frame.
The script is evaluated after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed `Math.random`.
An example of overriding `Math.random` before the page loads:
> **NOTE** The order of evaluation of multiple scripts installed via [browserContext.addInitScript(script[, arg])](#browsercontextaddinitscriptscript-arg) and [page.addInitScript(script[, arg])](#pageaddinitscriptscript-arg) is not defined.
- returns: <[Array]<[Page]>> All open pages in the context. Non visible pages, such as `"background_page"`, will not be listed here. You can find them using [chromiumBrowserContext.backgroundPages()](#chromiumbrowsercontextbackgroundpages).
Page routes (set up with [page.route(url, handler)](#pagerouteurl-handler)) take precedence over browser context routes when request matches both handlers.
> **NOTE** [`page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) and [`page.setDefaultTimeout`](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) take priority over [`browserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`](#browsercontextsetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout).
#### browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)
-`timeout`<[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds
This setting will change the default maximum time for all the methods accepting `timeout` option.
> **NOTE** [`page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout), [`page.setDefaultTimeout`](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) and [`browserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`](#browsercontextsetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) take priority over [`browserContext.setDefaultTimeout`](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout).
-`headers`<[Object]> An object containing additional HTTP headers to be sent with every request. All header values must be strings.
- returns: <[Promise]>
The extra HTTP headers will be sent with every request initiated by any page in the context. These headers are merged with page-specific extra HTTP headers set with [page.setExtraHTTPHeaders()](#pagesetextrahttpheadersheaders). If page overrides a particular header, page-specific header value will be used instead of the browser context header value.
> **NOTE** `browserContext.setExtraHTTPHeaders` does not guarantee the order of headers in the outgoing requests.
> **NOTE** Consider using [browserContext.grantPermissions](#browsercontextgrantpermissionspermissions-options) to grant permissions for the browser context pages to read its geolocation.
-`event`<[string]> Event name, same one would pass into `browserContext.on(event)`.
-`optionsOrPredicate`<[Function]|[Object]> Either a predicate that receives an event or an options object.
-`predicate`<[Function]> receives the event data and resolves to truthy value when the waiting should resolve.
-`timeout`<[number]> maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout).
Waits for event to fire and passes its value into the predicate function. Resolves when the predicate returns truthy value. Will throw an error if the context closes before the event
Page provides methods to interact with a single tab in a [Browser], or an [extension background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) in Chromium. One [Browser] instance might have multiple [Page] instances.
The Page class emits various events (described below) which can be handled using any of Node's native [`EventEmitter`](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter) methods, such as `on`, `once` or `removeListener`.
Emitted when JavaScript within the page calls one of console API methods, e.g. `console.log` or `console.dir`. Also emitted if the page throws an error or a warning.
Emitted when a JavaScript dialog appears, such as `alert`, `prompt`, `confirm` or `beforeunload`. Playwright can respond to the dialog via [Dialog]'s [accept](#dialogacceptprompttext) or [dismiss](#dialogdismiss) methods.
Emitted when a file chooser is supposed to appear, such as after clicking the `<input type=file>`. Playwright can respond to it via setting the input files using [`elementHandle.setInputFiles`](#elementhandlesetinputfilesfiles) which can be uploaded in the end.
Emitted when the page opens a new tab or window. This event is emitted in addition to the [`browserContext.on('page')`](#event-page), but only for popups relevant to this page.
The earliest moment that page is available is when it has navigated to the initial url. For example, when opening a popup with `window.open('http://example.com')`, this event will fire when the network request to "http://example.com" is done and its response has started loading in the popup.
> **NOTE** Use [`page.waitForLoadState([state[, options]])`](#pagewaitforloadstatestate-options) to wait until the page gets to a particular state (you should not need it in most cases).
> **NOTE** HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with [`'requestfinished'`](#event-requestfinished) event and not with [`'requestfailed'`](#event-requestfailed).
This method runs `document.querySelector` within the page and passes it as the first argument to `pageFunction`. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
-`script`<[function]|[string]|[Object]> Script to be evaluated in the page.
-`path`<[string]> Path to the JavaScript file. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
Adds a script which would be evaluated in one of the following scenarios:
- Whenever the page is navigated.
- Whenever the child frame is attached or navigated. In this case, the scritp is evaluated in the context of the newly attached frame.
The script is evaluated after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed `Math.random`.
An example of overriding `Math.random` before the page loads:
```js
// preload.js
Math.random = () => 42;
// In your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same folder
> **NOTE** The order of evaluation of multiple scripts installed via [browserContext.addInitScript(script[, arg])](#browsercontextaddinitscriptscript-arg) and [page.addInitScript(script[, arg])](#pageaddinitscriptscript-arg) is not defined.

-`type`<[string]> Script type. Use 'module' in order to load a Javascript ES6 module. See [script](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script) for more details.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the script's onload fires or when the script content was injected into frame.
-`path`<[string]> Path to the CSS file to be injected into frame. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
-`content`<[string]> Raw CSS content to be injected into frame.
- returns: <[Promise]<[ElementHandle]>> which resolves to the added tag when the stylesheet's onload fires or when the CSS content was injected into frame.

-`waitUntil`<"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|"nowait"> Actions that cause navigations are waiting for those navigations to fire `domcontentloaded` by default. This behavior can be changed to either wait for another load phase or to omit the waiting altogether using `nowait`:
-`timeout`<[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully checked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, if element is not already checked, it scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.click](#pageclickselector-options) to click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().check(selector[, options])](#framecheckselector-options).
-`position`<[Object]> A point to click relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, clicks to some visible point of the element.
-`modifiers`<[Array]<"Alt"|"Control"|"Meta"|"Shift">> Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the click, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.
-`waitUntil`<"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|"nowait"> Actions that cause navigations are waiting for those navigations to fire `domcontentloaded` by default. This behavior can be changed to either wait for another load phase or to omit the waiting altogether using `nowait`:
-`timeout`<[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
-`selector`<[string]> A selector to search for element to double click. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be double clicked.

-`button`<"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
-`delay`<[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
-`position`<[Object]> A point to double click relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, double clicks to some visible point of the element.
-`modifiers`<[Array]<"Alt"|"Control"|"Meta"|"Shift">> Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the double click, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.
-`waitUntil`<"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|"nowait"> Actions that cause navigations are waiting for those navigations to fire `domcontentloaded` by default. This behavior can be changed to either wait for another load phase or to omit the waiting altogether using `nowait`:
-`timeout`<[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully double clicked. The Promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [page.mouse](#pagemouse) to double click in the center of the element.
If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Bear in mind that if the first click of the `dblclick()` triggers a navigation event, there will be an exception.
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().dblclick(selector[, options])](#framedblclickselector-options).
#### page.emulateMedia(options)
-`options`<[Object]>
-`media`<"screen"|"print"> Changes the CSS media type of the page. The only allowed values are `'screen'`, `'print'` and `null`. Passing `null` disables CSS media emulation.
-`colorScheme`<"dark"|"light"|"no-preference"> Emulates `'prefers-colors-scheme'` media feature, supported values are `'light'`, `'dark'`, `'no-preference'`.
If the function passed to the `page.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `page.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
If the function passed to the `page.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `page.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
-`waitUntil`<"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|"nowait"> Actions that cause navigations are waiting for those navigations to fire `domcontentloaded` by default. This behavior can be changed to either wait for another load phase or to omit the waiting altogether using `nowait`:

The default value can be changed by using the [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully filled. The promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
-`timeout`<[number]> Maximum time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully focused. The promise will be rejected if there is no element matching `selector`.
-`timeout`<[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout.

`page.goto` will throw an error if:
- there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates).
- target URL is invalid.
- the `timeout` is exceeded during navigation.
- the remote server does not respond or is unreachable.
- the main resource failed to load.
`page.goto` will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error". The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling [response.status()](#responsestatus).
> **NOTE** `page.goto` either throws an error or returns a main resource response. The only exceptions are navigation to `about:blank` or navigation to the same URL with a different hash, which would succeed and return `null`.
> **NOTE** Headless mode doesn't support navigation to a PDF document. See the [upstream issue](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=761295).
-`position`<[Object]> A point to hover relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, hovers over some visible point of the element.

The default value can be changed by using the [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also be generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
> **NOTE** Modifier keys DO affect `page.press`. Holding down `Shift` will type the text in upper case.
-`timeout`<[number]> Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [browserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout), [browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#browsercontextsetdefaulttimeouttimeout), [page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaultnavigationtimeouttimeout) or [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) methods.

Page routes take precedence over browser context routes (set up with [browserContext.route(url, handler)](#browsercontextrouteurl-handler)) when request matches both handlers.
-`options`<[Object]> Options object which might have the following properties:
-`path`<[string]> The file path to save the image to. The screenshot type will be inferred from file extension. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd). If no path is provided, the image won't be saved to the disk.

In the case of multiple pages in a single browser, each page can have its own viewport size. However, [browser.newContext([options])](#browsernewcontextoptions) allows to set viewport size (and more) for all pages in the context at once.
`page.setViewportSize` will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should set the viewport size before navigating to the page.

In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to History API usage, the navigation will resolve with `null`.
This resolves when the page navigates to a new URL or reloads. It is useful for when you run code
which will indirectly cause the page to navigate. Consider this example:
-`timeout`<[number]> Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass `0` to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout)](#pagesetdefaulttimeouttimeout) method.

Wait for the `selector` to satisfy `waitFor` option (either appear/disappear from dom, or become visible/hidden). If at the moment of calling the method `selector` already satisfies the condition, the method will return immediately. If the selector doesn't satisfy the condition for the `timeout` milliseconds, the function will throw.
This method works across navigations:

> **NOTE** `frame.dblclick()` dispatches two `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `frame.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `frame.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `frame.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `frame.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as in-page object (JSHandle)
The only difference between `frame.evaluate` and `frame.evaluateHandle` is that `frame.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function, passed to the `frame.evaluateHandle`, returns a [Promise], then `frame.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also be generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
-`path`<[string]> The file path to save the image to. The screenshot type will be inferred from file extension. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd). If no path is provided, the image won't be saved to the disk.
-`omitBackground`<[boolean]> Hides default white background and allows capturing screenshots with transparency. Not applicable to `jpeg` images. Defaults to `false`.
This method tries to scroll element into view, unless it is completely visible as defined by [IntersectionObserver](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API)'s ```ratio```.
Throws when ```elementHandle``` does not point to an element [connected](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node/isConnected) to a Document or a ShadowRoot.
-`values`<[string]|[ElementHandle]|[Array]<[string]>|[Object]|[Array]<[ElementHandle]>|[Array]<[Object]>> Options to select. If the `<select>` has the `multiple` attribute, all matching options are selected, otherwise only the first option matching one of the passed options is selected. String values are equivalent to `{value:'string'}`. Option is considered matching if all specified properties match.
-`waitUntil`<"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle0"|"networkidle2"|"nowait"> Actions that cause navigations are waiting for those navigations to fire `domcontentloaded` by default. This behavior can be changed to either wait for another load phase or to omit the waiting altogether using `nowait`:

- returns: <[Promise]> Promise which resolves when the element is successfully unchecked. Promise gets rejected if the operation fails.
If element is not already unchecked, it scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [elementHandle.click](#elementhandleclickoptions) to click in the center of the element.
JSHandle prevents the referenced JavaScript object being garbage collected unless the handle is [disposed](#jshandledispose). JSHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated or the parent context gets destroyed.
JSHandle instances can be used as an argument in [`page.$eval()`](#pageevalselector-pagefunction-arg), [`page.evaluate()`](#pageevaluatepagefunction-arg) and [`page.evaluateHandle()`](#pageevaluatehandlepagefunction-arg) methods.
If the function passed to the `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
> **NOTE** The method will return an empty JSON object if the referenced object is not stringifiable. It will throw an error if the object has circular references.
### class: ConsoleMessage
[ConsoleMessage] objects are dispatched by page via the ['console'](#event-console) event.
Keyboard provides an api for managing a virtual keyboard. The high level api is [`keyboard.type`](#keyboardtypetext-options), which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page.
For finer control, you can use [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey), [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey), and [`keyboard.insertText`](#keyboardinserttexttext) to manually fire events as if they were generated from a real keyboard.
If `key` is a modifier key, `Shift`, `Meta`, `Control`, or `Alt`, subsequent key presses will be sent with that modifier active. To release the modifier key, use [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
After the key is pressed once, subsequent calls to [`keyboard.down`](#keyboarddownkey) will have [repeat](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/repeat) set to true. To release the key, use [`keyboard.up`](#keyboardupkey).
If `key` is a single character and no modifier keys besides `Shift` are being held down, a `keypress`/`input` event will also generated. The `text` option can be specified to force an input event to be generated.
-`button`<"left"|"right"|"middle"> Defaults to `left`.
-`clickCount`<[number]> defaults to 1. See [UIEvent.detail].
-`delay`<[number]> Time to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup` in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.

- returns: <[Promise]>
Shortcut for [`mouse.move`](#mousemovex-y-options), [`mouse.down`](#mousedownoptions), [`mouse.up`](#mouseupoptions), [`mouse.down`](#mousedownoptions) and [`mouse.up`](#mouseupoptions).
If request fails at some point, then instead of `'requestfinished'` event (and possibly instead of 'response' event), the [`'requestfailed'`](#event-requestfailed) event is emitted.
> **NOTE** HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with `'requestfinished'` event.
If request gets a 'redirect' response, the request is successfully finished with the 'requestfinished' event, and a new request is issued to a redirected url.
When the server responds with a redirect, Playwright creates a new [Request] object. The two requests are connected by `redirectedFrom()` and `redirectedTo()` methods. When multiple server redirects has happened, it is possible to construct the whole redirect chain by repeatedly calling `redirectedFrom()`.
Contains the request's resource type as it was perceived by the rendering engine.
ResourceType will be one of the following: `document`, `stylesheet`, `image`, `media`, `font`, `script`, `texttrack`, `xhr`, `fetch`, `eventsource`, `websocket`, `manifest`, `other`.
-`name`<[string]> Name that is used in selectors as a prefix, e.g. `{name: 'foo'}` enables `foo=myselectorbody` selectors. May only contain `[a-zA-Z0-9_]` characters.
-`script`<[function]|[string]|[Object]> Script that evaluates to a selector engine instance.
-`path`<[string]> Path to the JavaScript file. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
Whenever a network route is set up with [page.route(url, handler)](#pagerouteurl-handler) or [browserContext.route(url, handler)](#browsercontextrouteurl-handler), the `Route` object allows to handle the route.
-`errorCode`<[string]> Optional error code. Defaults to `failed`, could be
one of the following:
-`aborted` - An operation was aborted (due to user action)
-`accessdenied` - Permission to access a resource, other than the network, was denied
-`addressunreachable` - The IP address is unreachable. This usually means
that there is no route to the specified host or network.
-`blockedbyclient` - The client chose to block the request.
-`blockedbyresponse` - The request failed because the response was delivered along with requirements which are not met ('X-Frame-Options' and 'Content-Security-Policy' ancestor checks, for instance).
-`connectionaborted` - A connection timed out as a result of not receiving an ACK for data sent.
-`connectionclosed` - A connection was closed (corresponding to a TCP FIN).
-`connectionfailed` - A connection attempt failed.
-`connectionrefused` - A connection attempt was refused.
-`connectionreset` - A connection was reset (corresponding to a TCP RST).
-`internetdisconnected` - The Internet connection has been lost.
-`namenotresolved` - The host name could not be resolved.
-`timedout` - An operation timed out.
-`failed` - A generic failure occurred.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Aborts the route's request.
#### route.continue([overrides])
-`overrides`<[Object]> Optional request overrides, which can be one of the following:
-`method`<[string]> If set changes the request method (e.g. GET or POST)
-`postData`<[string]> If set changes the post data of request
-`headers`<[Object]> If set changes the request HTTP headers. Header values will be converted to a string.
- returns: <[Promise]>
Continues route's request with optional overrides.
-`path`<[string]> Optional file path to respond with. The content type will be inferred from file extension. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to [current working directory](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_cwd).
- returns: <[Promise]>
Fulfills route's request with given response.
An example of fulfilling all requests with 404 responses:
TimeoutError is emitted whenever certain operations are terminated due to timeout, e.g. [page.waitForSelector(selector[, options])](#pagewaitforselectorselector-options) or [browserType.launch([options])](#browsertypelaunchoptions).
The Accessibility class provides methods for inspecting Chromium's accessibility tree. The accessibility tree is used by assistive technology such as [screen readers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader) or [switches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_access).
Blink - Chromium's rendering engine - has a concept of "accessibility tree", which is then translated into different platform-specific APIs. Accessibility namespace gives users
Most of the accessibility tree gets filtered out when converting from Blink AX Tree to Platform-specific AX-Tree or by assistive technologies themselves. By default, Playwright tries to approximate this filtering, exposing only the "interesting" nodes of the tree.
- returns: <[Promise]<[Serializable]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a [Promise], then `worker.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a non-[Serializable] value, then `worker.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals.
- returns: <[Promise]<[JSHandle]>> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction` as in-page object (JSHandle)
The only difference between `worker.evaluate` and `worker.evaluateHandle` is that `worker.evaluateHandle` returns in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function passed to the `worker.evaluateHandle` returns a [Promise], then `worker.evaluateHandle` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

- returns: <[Promise]<[Browser]>> Promise which resolves to browser instance.
You can use `ignoreDefaultArgs` to filter out `--mute-audio` from default arguments:
```js
const browser = await chromium.launch({ // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--mute-audio']
});
```
> **Chromium-only** Playwright can also be used to control the Chrome browser, but it works best with the version of Chromium it is bundled with. There is no guarantee it will work with any other version. Use `executablePath` option with extreme caution.
>
> If Google Chrome (rather than Chromium) is preferred, a [Chrome Canary](https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html) or [Dev Channel](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel) build is suggested.

Playwright looks for certain [environment variables](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable) to aid its operations.
If Playwright doesn't find them in the environment, a lowercased variant of these variables will be used from the [npm config](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/config).
-`PLAYWRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_HOST` - overwrite URL prefix that is used to download browsers. Note: this includes protocol and might even include path prefix. By default, Playwright uses `https://storage.googleapis.com` to download Chromium and `https://playwright.azureedge.net` to download Webkit & Firefox.
-`PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH` - specify a shared folder that playwright will use to download browsers and to look for browsers when launching browser instances.
Selector describes an element in the page. It can be used to obtain `ElementHandle` (see [page.$()](#pageselector) for example) or shortcut element operations to avoid intermediate handle (see [page.click()](#pageclickselector-options) for example).
Selector has the following format: `engine=body [>> engine=body]*`. Here `engine` is one of the supported [selector engines](selectors.md) (e.g. `css` or `xpath`), and `body` is a selector body in the format of the particular engine. When multiple `engine=body` clauses are present (separated by `>>`), next one is queried relative to the previous one's result.
The following is code for getting a handle to the [background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) of an extension whose source is located in `./my-extension`:
