requestiumvsundetected-chromedriver
Requestium is a Python library that merges the power of Requests, Selenium, and Parsel into a single integrated tool for automatizing web actions.
The library was created for writing web automation scripts that are written using mostly Requests but that are able to seamlessly switch to Selenium for the JavaScript heavy parts of the website, while maintaining the session.
Requestium adds independent improvements to both Requests and Selenium, and every new feature is lazily evaluated, so its useful even if writing scripts that use only Requests or Selenium.
Undetected chromedriver is custom open source headless browser driver based on Selenium. It extends Selenium headless browsers to be more ressistant to fingeprinting and identification techniquest like: - Cloudflare - Datadome - Imperva And other similar WAF anti-bot systems.
Highlights
Example Use
from requestium import Session, Keys
session = Session(webdriver_path='./chromedriver',
browser='chrome-headless',
default_timeout=15)
# then session object can be used like requests and parsel:
title = session.get('http://samplesite.com').xpath('//title/text()').extract_first(default='Default Title')
# other advance functions like POST requests and proxy settings are also available:
s.post('http://www.samplesite.com/sample', data={'field1': 'data1'})
s.proxies.update({'http': 'http://10.11.4.254:3128', 'https': 'https://10.11.4.252:3128'})
# session can also be used like selenium as it exposes all selenium functions.
# like typing keys:
s.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@class='user_name']").send_keys('James Bond', Keys.ENTER)
# It works the same as Selenium just with a different import.
import undetected_chromedriver as uc
driver = uc.Chrome(headless=True, use_subprocess=False)
driver.get('https://nowsecure.nl')
driver.save_screenshot('screenshot.png')
driver.close()
