newbie with problems

[rastarr]

so very sorry to ask such basic questions like these. Still hoping for some guidance if possible.

I was very excited to see this project mentioned in Reddit. Tried many Claude/ChatGPT chats and have made some progress in creating a docker container that i can access from an n8n.io workflow. I am a total dummy when it comes to python but have attached my Dockerfile build file and my app.py (as text files) for reference.

In my n8n.io workflow, i am getting this error -

The service was not able to process your request
Can't instantiate abstract class Browser with abstract method _get_default_binary_location
Error details

 From HTTP Request
Error code

500

Full message

I'm wanting to eventually scrape some Etsy listing pages that I can then extract data and then improve my own new listings, using AI Agents in n8n.

For some reason that escapes my 0% python skills, I'm failing to initialise PyDoll but I have no idea what to do next.

Hoping for some help and also whether this project will get past Etsy's robot detection since I tried with some beginner Puppeteer and get a captcha block.

Hoping for the best lol Cheers Martin

Hi! Take a look at the quick start guide:

import asyncio
from pydoll.browser.chrome import Chrome
from pydoll.constants import By

async def main():
    # Start the browser with no additional webdriver configuration!
    async with Chrome() as browser:
        await browser.start()
        page = await browser.get_page()
        
        # Navigate through captcha-protected sites without worry
        await page.go_to('https://example-with-cloudflare.com')
        button = await page.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'button')
        await button.click()

asyncio.run(main())

You should instantiate Chrome instead of Browser

Hi!

Thank you for this wonderful project!

How can I set a specific location for chrome? I got:

ValueError: Browser not found: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

Just do the following:

import asyncio
from pydoll.browser.chrome import Chrome
from pydoll.browser.options import Options
from pydoll.constants import By

async def main():
    # Start the browser with no additional webdriver configuration!
    options = Options()
    options.binary_location = '/your/path/to/chrome'
    async with Chrome(options=options) as browser:
        await browser.start()
        page = await browser.get_page()
        
        # Navigate through captcha-protected sites without worry
        await page.go_to('https://example-with-cloudflare.com')
        button = await page.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'button')
        await button.click()

asyncio.run(main())

I'll improve the documentation later :)

@thalissonvs Is there a way to prevent browser from auto closing? I'm using it for automation and opening a browser for each request would probably be flagged, so it's best to keep one browser with many tabs open at all times in my case.

Can you open a discussion? I'll close this issue now
