WebReaper.Playwright

Microsoft.Playwright-backed IPageLoadTransport for WebReaper — the modern, multi-browser headless-scraping satellite. Replaces the deleted WebReaper.Puppeteer in v10.

Why Playwright (not Puppeteer)

Multi-browser: Chromium, Firefox, WebKit out of the box
Auto-wait: actions wait for the right state by default; less explicit WaitForSelector boilerplate
Better network interception: page.RouteAsync over Puppeteer's older interception API
Official Microsoft .NET-native maintenance
All 7 PageAction arms — closes the ADR-0004 §"Out of scope" four-arm gap the deleted Puppeteer transport had

For AOT-compiled consumers (and for stealth Chromium forks), use WebReaper.Cdp instead — Microsoft.Playwright's reflection-driven serialisation is not AOT-clean by design (ADR-0009 satellite quarantine).

Install

dotnet add package WebReaper.Playwright
# First run: Playwright downloads browser binaries
playwright install

Quick start

using WebReaper.Builders;
using WebReaper.Playwright;

// Default: Chromium
var engine = await ScraperEngineBuilder
    .CrawlWithBrowser("https://example.com")
    .Extract(schema)
    .WithPlaywrightPageLoader()
    .BuildAsync();

// Multi-browser
.WithPlaywrightPageLoader(PlaywrightBrowser.Firefox)
.WithPlaywrightPageLoader(PlaywrightBrowser.Webkit)

// Custom launch options (channel, headed, proxy, extra args)
.WithPlaywrightPageLoader(PlaywrightBrowser.Chromium, new PlaywrightLaunchOptions
{
    Headless = false,
    Channel = "chrome",   // use installed Chrome instead of bundled Chromium
})

await engine.RunAsync();

Migration from `WebReaper.Puppeteer`

- using WebReaper.Puppeteer;
+ using WebReaper.Playwright;

- .WithPuppeteerPageLoader()
+ .WithPlaywrightPageLoader()

That is the full diff for the common case. See ADR-0053 for the deletion rationale.
