playwright_stealth

Transplanted from puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth, with some improvements. Don't expect this to bypass anything but the simplest of bot detection methods. Consider this a proof-of-concept starting point.

This is a WIP fork, with the goal of replacing the out-of-date upstream.

Install

Install the latest stable release:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/Mattwmaster58/playwright_stealth@rc2

or straight from main

$ pip install git+https://github.com/Mattwmaster58/playwright_stealth

Example Usage

import asyncio

from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
from playwright_stealth import Stealth, ALL_EVASIONS_DISABLED_KWARGS


async def main():
    # This is the recommended usage. All pages created will have stealth applied:
    async with Stealth().use_async(async_playwright()) as p:
        browser = await p.chromium.launch()
        page = await browser.new_page()
        print("from new_page: ", await page.evaluate("navigator.webdriver"))
        different_context = await browser.new_context()
        page_from_different_context = await different_context.new_page()
        print("from new_context: ", await page_from_different_context.evaluate("navigator.webdriver"))

    # Specifying config options and applying evasions manually to an entire context:
    custom_languages = ("fr-FR", "fr")
    stealth = Stealth(
        navigator_languages_override=custom_languages,
        init_scripts_only=True
    )
    async with async_playwright() as p:
        # or, to hook every browser launched from this context: stealth.hook_playwright_context(p)
        browser = await p.chromium.launch()
        context = await browser.new_context()
        await stealth.apply_stealth_async(context)
        page_1 = await context.new_page()
        concurrency_on_page_1_mocked = await page_1.evaluate("navigator.languages") == custom_languages
        print("manually applied stealth applied to page 1:", concurrency_on_page_1_mocked)
        page_2 = await context.new_page()
        concurrency_on_page_2_mocked = await page_2.evaluate("navigator.languages") == custom_languages
        print("manually applied stealth applied to page 2:", concurrency_on_page_2_mocked)

    # a constant "ALL_EVASIONS_DISABLED_KWARGS" is provided if only a few evasions are desired:
    assert len(Stealth(**ALL_EVASIONS_DISABLED_KWARGS).script_payload) == 0
    # all but navigator_webdriver disabled
    assert len(Stealth(**{**ALL_EVASIONS_DISABLED_KWARGS, "navigator_webdriver": True}).script_payload) > 0
