Puppeteer is a Node library that provides a high-level API to control Microsoft Edge (Chromium) using the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer launches headless browsers by default. Headless browsers do not display a UI, so instead you must use the command line. You may also configure Puppeteer to run full (non-headless) Microsoft Edge as well.
Microsoft Edge turns every new tab into a portal for productivity with quick access to Office apps, files, sites and built-in Microsoft Search. Unlocks remote work Use Microsoft Edge across your devices whether at home or work with cross-platform support and profiles that sync. Organize your research with Collections.

By default, when you install Puppeteer, the installer downloads a recent version of Chromium, the open-source browser that Microsoft Edge is also built upon. If you have Microsoft Edge (Chromium) installed, you may use puppeteer-core. puppeteer-core is a lightweight version of Puppeteer that launches an existing browser installation, like Microsoft Edge (Chromium). To download Microsoft Edge (Chromium), navigate to Download Microsoft Edge Insider Channels.
Installing puppeteer-core
You may add puppeteer-core to your website or app with one of the following commands.
Launch Microsoft Edge with puppeteer-core
Note
puppeteer-core relies on Node v8.9.0 or later. The example below uses async/await which is only supported in Node v7.6.0 or later. Run node -v from the command-line to ensure you have a compatible version of Node.js.
puppeteer-core should be familiar to users of other browser-testing-frameworks like WebDriver. You create an instance of the browser, open a page, and then manipulate it with the Puppeteer API. In the following code sample, puppeteer-core launches Microsoft Edge (Chromium), navigates to https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com, and saves a screenshot as example.png.
Copy the following code snippet and save it as example.js.
Change executablePath to point to your installation of Microsoft Edge (Chromium). For example, on macOS, the executablePath for Microsoft Edge Canary should be set to /Applications/Microsoft Edge Canary.app/. To find the executablePath, navigate to edge://version and copy the Executable path on that page or install the edge-paths package with one of the following commands.
The code sample below uses the edge-paths package to programmatically find the path to your installation of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) on your OS.
Finally, set executablePath: EDGE_PATH in example.js. Save your changes.
