Patchright

Patchright is a specialized, drop-in Playwright fork that patches the runtime to evade bot detection while retaining many Playwright APIs with documented limitations.

Key Features:

• Playwright-Style API - Supports many existing calls; check the documented unsupported features
• Runtime Patching - Modifies browser runtime to remove automation detection signals
• Bot Evasion - Bypasses common anti-bot checks that detect standard Playwright
• Multi-Language - Available for Python and Node.js with matching Playwright versions
• Active Maintenance - Regular updates to stay ahead of evolving detection methods

Whether you're migrating existing Playwright scrapers to bypass detection, building new automation on protected sites, or testing bot defenses, Patchright provides runtime patches for reducing automation signals.
