Is it possible to pass browser endpoint to puppeteer browser

[mehrdad-shokri]

Services like Browserless provide websocket endpoints as browser that you can the puppeteer-core package to it:

  const browser = puppeteer.connect({
    browserWSEndpoint: BROWSER_WSS_ENDPOINT,
    headers: {
      'User-Agent':
        'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/99.0.4844.84 Safari/537.36',
      'sec-ch-ua':
        '" Not A;Brand";v="99", "Chromium";v="99", "Google Chrome";v="99"',
      'sec-ch-ua-mobile': '?0',
      'sec-ch-ua-platform': '"macOS"',
      'sec-fetch-dest': 'document',
      'sec-fetch-mode': 'navigate',
      'sec-fetch-site': 'none',
      'sec-fetch-user': '?1',
      'upgrade-insecure-requests': '1',
    },
  });

Is it possible to pass the browser endpoint to puppeteer browser as well?

Apparently, this was possible back in 2020. Since then, this has changed a fair bit. I believe that something could be accomplished by adjusting launchOptions.launcher in the PuppeteerCrawler constructor options.

@B4nan do you happen to know more about this?

Not really, gave it a quick look and I can see we removed the mentioned launchPuppeteerFunction here, so the answer should be probably using the browser pool hooks.

Looks like #1822 exists to track this
