Playwright
Playwright enables reliable end-to-end testing for modern web apps.
Integrate the Playwright API with the Node API
Setup the Playwright API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Node API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Playwright and Node remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Playwright and Node Actions#
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.

Overview of Playwright#
Playwright is a Node.js library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome/Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Playwright runs in headless mode on Chromium on Pipedream.
Using Playwright you can perform tasks including:
- Capture Screenshots: Convert webpages into images.
- Processing PDFs: parse and scan PDFs.
- Web Scraping: Extract data from websites.
- UI/UX Testing: Verify user interface and experience.
- Integration with Test Frameworks: Combine with testing frameworks.
- Task Automation: Automate web-related tasks like form filling.
- Functional Testing: Automate user interactions to test web application functionality.
- Regression Testing: Ensure new code changes don't introduce bugs.
Connect Playwright#
import { playwright } from '@pipedream/browsers';
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
const browser = await playwright.launch();
// Interact with the web page programmatically
// See Playwright's Page documentation for available methods:
// https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://pipedream.com/');
const title = await page.title();
const content = await page.content();
// Close context and browser otherwise the step will hang
await page.context().close()
await browser.close();
return { title, content }
},
})
Overview of Node#
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.
Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Node#
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
