Patchright provides a stealth-focused (websites cannot easily detect that a bot (like Playwright\/Selenium)) browser automation solution that maintains full API compatibility with Playwright.<\/p>\r\n

Use: web scraping of protected sites, automated testing against security systems, and browser automation tasks where avoiding detection is critical.<\/p>\r\n

simply change `from playwright.sync_api` to `from patchright.sync_api`<\/strong> (or the async equivalent). <\/p>\r\n
