nodriver is an asynchronous Python library for browser automation that communicates directly with Chrome/Chromium via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), bypassing Selenium and WebDriver. It provides a high-level API (Browser, Tab, Element) for navigating pages, finding and interacting with DOM elements, managing cookies, proxies, and taking screenshots, with built-in anti-detection measures to evade bot blockers like Cloudflare. The codebase includes auto-generated low-level bindings for all CDP domains, a custom async WebSocket connection manager, a dict wrapper with attribute access (ContraDict), and a sofisticated async TCP proxy forwarder for authenticated proxies. The library is alpha-stage but actively maintained, though some CDP domain messagers are depreicated and the generated code requires periodic regeneration to stay in sync with Chrome updates.
