# class: Page
* since: v1.8

Page provides methods to interact with a single tab in a [Browser], or an
[extension background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) in Chromium. One [Browser]
instance might have multiple [Page] instances.

This example creates a page, navigates it to a URL, and then saves a screenshot:

```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright');  // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.

(async () => {
  const browser = await webkit.launch();
  const context = await browser.newContext();
  const page = await context.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.png' });
  await browser.close();
})();
```

```java
import com.microsoft.playwright.*;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) {
      BrowserType webkit = playwright.webkit();
      Browser browser = webkit.launch();
      BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
      Page page = context.newPage();
      page.navigate("https://example.com");
      page.screenshot(new Page.ScreenshotOptions().setPath(Paths.get("screenshot.png")));
      browser.close();
    }
  }
}
```

```python async
import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright, Playwright

async def run(playwright: Playwright):
    webkit = playwright.webkit
    browser = await webkit.launch()
    context = await browser.new_context()
    page = await context.new_page()
    await page.goto("https://example.com")
    await page.screenshot(path="screenshot.png")
    await browser.close()

async def main():
    async with async_playwright() as playwright:
        await run(playwright)
asyncio.run(main())
```

```python sync
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright, Playwright

def run(playwright: Playwright):
    webkit = playwright.webkit
    browser = webkit.launch()
    context = browser.new_context()
    page = context.new_page()
    page.goto("https://example.com")
    page.screenshot(path="screenshot.png")
    browser.close()

with sync_playwright() as playwright:
    run(playwright)
```

```csharp
using Microsoft.Playwright;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class PageExamples
{
    public static async Task Run()
    {
        using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
        await using var browser = await playwright.Webkit.LaunchAsync();
        var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
        await page.GotoAsync("https://www.theverge.com");
        await page.ScreenshotAsync(new() { Path = "theverge.png" });
    }
}
```

The Page class emits various events (described below) which can be handled using any of Node's native
[`EventEmitter`](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter) methods, such as `on`, `once` or
`removeListener`.

This example logs a message for a single page `load` event:

```js
page.once('load', () => console.log('Page loaded!'));
```

```java
page.onLoad(p -> System.out.println("Page loaded!"));
```

```py
page.once("load", lambda: print("page loaded!"))
```

```csharp
page.Load += (_, _) => Console.WriteLine("Page loaded!");
```

To unsubscribe from events use the `removeListener` method:

```js
function logRequest(interceptedRequest) {
  console.log('A request was made:', interceptedRequest.url());
}
page.on('request', logRequest);
// Sometime later...
page.removeListener('request', logRequest);
```

```java
Consumer<Request> logRequest = interceptedRequest -> {
  System.out.println("A request was made: " + interceptedRequest.url());
};
page.onRequest(logRequest);
// Sometime later...
page.offRequest(logRequest);
```

```py
def log_request(intercepted_request):
    print("a request was made:", intercepted_request.url)
page.on("request", log_request)
# sometime later...
page.remove_listener("request", log_request)
```

```csharp
void PageLoadHandler(object _, IPage p) {
    Console.WriteLine("Page loaded!");
};

page.Load += PageLoadHandler;
// Do some work...
page.Load -= PageLoadHandler;
```

## property: Page.clock
* since: v1.45
- type: <[Clock]>

Playwright has ability to mock clock and passage of time.

## event: Page.close
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the page closes.

## event: Page.console
* since: v1.8
* langs:
  - alias-java: consoleMessage
- argument: <[ConsoleMessage]>

Emitted when JavaScript within the page calls one of console API methods, e.g. `console.log` or `console.dir`.

The arguments passed into `console.log` are available on the [ConsoleMessage] event handler argument.

**Usage**

```js
page.on('console', async msg => {
  const values = [];
  for (const arg of msg.args())
    values.push(await arg.jsonValue());
  console.log(...values);
});
await page.evaluate(() => console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' }));
```

```java
page.onConsoleMessage(msg -> {
  for (int i = 0; i < msg.args().size(); ++i)
    System.out.println(i + ": " + msg.args().get(i).jsonValue());
});
page.evaluate("() => console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })");
```

```python async
async def print_args(msg):
    values = []
    for arg in msg.args:
        values.append(await arg.json_value())
    print(values)

page.on("console", print_args)
await page.evaluate("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })")
```

```python sync
def print_args(msg):
    for arg in msg.args:
        print(arg.json_value())

page.on("console", print_args)
page.evaluate("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })")
```

```csharp
page.Console += async (_, msg) =>
{
    foreach (var arg in msg.Args)
        Console.WriteLine(await arg.JsonValueAsync<object>());
};

await page.EvaluateAsync("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })");
```

## event: Page.crash
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the page crashes. Browser pages might crash if they try to allocate too much memory. When the page crashes,
ongoing and subsequent operations will throw.

The most common way to deal with crashes is to catch an exception:

```js
try {
  // Crash might happen during a click.
  await page.click('button');
  // Or while waiting for an event.
  await page.waitForEvent('popup');
} catch (e) {
  // When the page crashes, exception message contains 'crash'.
}
```

```java
try {
  // Crash might happen during a click.
  page.click("button");
  // Or while waiting for an event.
  page.waitForPopup(() -> {});
} catch (PlaywrightException e) {
  // When the page crashes, exception message contains "crash".
}
```

```python async
try:
    # crash might happen during a click.
    await page.click("button")
    # or while waiting for an event.
    await page.wait_for_event("popup")
except Error as e:
    pass
    # when the page crashes, exception message contains "crash".
```

```python sync
try:
    # crash might happen during a click.
    page.click("button")
    # or while waiting for an event.
    page.wait_for_event("popup")
except Error as e:
    pass
    # when the page crashes, exception message contains "crash".
```

```csharp
try {
  // Crash might happen during a click.
  await page.ClickAsync("button");
  // Or while waiting for an event.
  await page.WaitForPopup();
} catch (PlaywrightException e) {
  // When the page crashes, exception message contains "crash".
}
```

## event: Page.dialog
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Dialog]>

Emitted when a JavaScript dialog appears, such as `alert`, `prompt`, `confirm` or `beforeunload`. Listener **must** either [`method: Dialog.accept`] or [`method: Dialog.dismiss`] the dialog - otherwise the page will [freeze](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/EventLoop#never_blocking) waiting for the dialog, and actions like click will never finish.

**Usage**

```js
page.on('dialog', dialog => dialog.accept());
```

```java
page.onDialog(dialog -> {
  dialog.accept();
});
```

```python
page.on("dialog", lambda dialog: dialog.accept())
```

```csharp
page.RequestFailed += (_, request) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(request.Url + " " + request.Failure);
};
```

:::note
When no [`event: Page.dialog`] or [`event: BrowserContext.dialog`] listeners are present, all dialogs are automatically dismissed.
:::

## event: Page.DOMContentLoaded
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the JavaScript [`DOMContentLoaded`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/DOMContentLoaded)
event is dispatched.

## event: Page.download
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Download]>

Emitted when attachment download started. User can access basic file operations on downloaded content via the passed
[Download] instance.

## event: Page.fileChooser
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[FileChooser]>

Emitted when a file chooser is supposed to appear, such as after clicking the  `<input type=file>`. Playwright can
respond to it via setting the input files using [`method: FileChooser.setFiles`] that can be uploaded after that.

```js
page.on('filechooser', async fileChooser => {
  await fileChooser.setFiles(path.join(__dirname, '/tmp/myfile.pdf'));
});
```

```java
page.onFileChooser(fileChooser -> {
  fileChooser.setFiles(Paths.get("/tmp/myfile.pdf"));
});
```

```py
page.on("filechooser", lambda file_chooser: file_chooser.set_files("/tmp/myfile.pdf"))
```

```csharp
page.FileChooser += (_, fileChooser) =>
{
    fileChooser.SetFilesAsync(@"C:\temp\myfile.pdf");
};
```

## event: Page.frameAttached
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is attached.

## event: Page.frameDetached
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is detached.

## event: Page.frameNavigated
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is navigated to a new url.

## event: Page.load
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the JavaScript [`load`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/load) event is dispatched.

## event: Page.pageError
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[Error]>

Emitted when an uncaught exception happens within the page.

```js
// Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.on('pageerror', exception => {
  console.log(`Uncaught exception: "${exception}"`);
});

// Navigate to a page with an exception.
await page.goto('data:text/html,<script>throw new Error("Test")</script>');
```

```java
// Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.onPageError(exception -> {
  System.out.println("Uncaught exception: " + exception);
});

// Navigate to a page with an exception.
page.navigate("data:text/html,<script>throw new Error('Test')</script>");
```

```python async
# Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.on("pageerror", lambda exc: print(f"uncaught exception: {exc}"))

# Navigate to a page with an exception.
await page.goto("data:text/html,<script>throw new Error('test')</script>")
```

```python sync
# Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.on("pageerror", lambda exc: print(f"uncaught exception: {exc}"))

# Navigate to a page with an exception.
page.goto("data:text/html,<script>throw new Error('test')</script>")
```

```csharp
// Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.PageError += (_, exception) =>
{
  Console.WriteLine("Uncaught exception: " + exception);
};
```

## event: Page.pageError
* since: v1.9
* langs: csharp, java
- argument: <[string]>

## event: Page.popup
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the page opens a new tab or window. This event is emitted in addition to the
[`event: BrowserContext.page`], but only for popups relevant to this page.

The earliest moment that page is available is when it has navigated to the initial url. For example, when opening a
popup with `window.open('http://example.com')`, this event will fire when the network request to "http://example.com" is
done and its response has started loading in the popup. If you would like to route/listen to this network request, use [`method: BrowserContext.route`] and [`event: BrowserContext.request`] respectively instead of similar methods on the [Page].

```js
// Start waiting for popup before clicking. Note no await.
const popupPromise = page.waitForEvent('popup');
await page.getByText('open the popup').click();
const popup = await popupPromise;
console.log(await popup.evaluate('location.href'));
```

```java
Page popup = page.waitForPopup(() -> {
  page.getByText("open the popup").click();
});
System.out.println(popup.evaluate("location.href"));
```

```python async
async with page.expect_event("popup") as page_info:
    await page.get_by_text("open the popup").click()
popup = await page_info.value
print(await popup.evaluate("location.href"))
```

```python sync
with page.expect_event("popup") as page_info:
    page.get_by_text("open the popup").click()
popup = page_info.value
print(popup.evaluate("location.href"))
```

```csharp
var popup = await page.RunAndWaitForPopupAsync(async () =>
{
    await page.GetByText("open the popup").ClickAsync();
});
Console.WriteLine(await popup.EvaluateAsync<string>("location.href"));
```

:::note
Use [`method: Page.waitForLoadState`] to wait until the page gets to a particular state (you should not need it in most
cases).
:::

## event: Page.request
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a page issues a request. The [request] object is read-only. In order to intercept and mutate requests, see
[`method: Page.route`] or [`method: BrowserContext.route`].

## event: Page.requestFailed
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a request fails, for example by timing out.

```js
page.on('requestfailed', request => {
  console.log(request.url() + ' ' + request.failure().errorText);
});
```

```java
page.onRequestFailed(request -> {
  System.out.println(request.url() + " " + request.failure());
});
```

```python
page.on("requestfailed", lambda request: print(request.url + " " + request.failure.error_text))
```

:::note
HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete
with [`event: Page.requestFinished`] event and not with [`event: Page.requestFailed`]. A request will only be considered
failed when the client cannot get an HTTP response from the server, e.g. due to network error net::ERR_FAILED.
:::

## event: Page.requestFinished
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a request finishes successfully after downloading the response body. For a successful response, the
sequence of events is `request`, `response` and `requestfinished`.

## event: Page.response
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Response]>

Emitted when [response] status and headers are received for a request. For a successful response, the sequence of events
is `request`, `response` and `requestfinished`.

## event: Page.webSocket
* since: v1.9
- argument: <[WebSocket]>

Emitted when [WebSocket] request is sent.

## event: Page.worker
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Worker]>

Emitted when a dedicated [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) is spawned by the
page.

## async method: Page.addInitScript
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Disposable]>

Adds a script which would be evaluated in one of the following scenarios:
* Whenever the page is navigated.
* Whenever the child frame is attached or navigated. In this case, the script is evaluated in the context of the newly
  attached frame.

The script is evaluated after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend
the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed `Math.random`.

**Usage**

An example of overriding `Math.random` before the page loads:

```js browser
// preload.js
Math.random = () => 42;
```

```js
// In your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory
await page.addInitScript({ path: './preload.js' });
```

```js
await page.addInitScript(mock => {
  window.mock = mock;
}, mock);
```

```java
// In your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory
page.addInitScript(Paths.get("./preload.js"));
```

```python async
# in your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory
await page.add_init_script(path="./preload.js")
```

```python sync
# in your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory
page.add_init_script(path="./preload.js")
```

```csharp
await Page.AddInitScriptAsync(scriptPath: "./preload.js");
```

:::note
The order of evaluation of multiple scripts installed via [`method: BrowserContext.addInitScript`] and
[`method: Page.addInitScript`] is not defined.

## async method: Page.bringToFront
* since: v1.8

Brings page to front (activates tab).

## async method: Page.cancelPickLocator
* since: v1.59

Cancels an ongoing [`method: Page.pickLocator`] call by deactivating pick locator mode.
If no pick locator mode is active, this method is a no-op.

## async method: Page.check
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.check`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).

This method checks an element matching [`param: selector`] by performing the following steps:
1. Find an element matching [`param: selector`]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to
   the DOM.
1. Ensure that matched element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method throws. If the element is already
   checked, this method returns immediately.
1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the matched element, unless [`option: force`] option is
   set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
1. Scroll the element into view if needed.
1. Use [`property: Page.mouse`] to click in the center of the element.
1. Ensure that the element is now checked. If not, this method throws.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [`option: timeout`], this method throws a
[TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

### param: Page.check.selector = %%-input-selector-%%

## async method: Page.close
* since: v1.8

If [`option: runBeforeUnload`] is `false`, does not run any unload handlers and waits for the page to be closed. If
[`option: runBeforeUnload`] is `true` the method will run unload handlers, but will **not** wait for the page to close.

By default, `page.close()` **does not** run `beforeunload` handlers.

:::note
if [`option: runBeforeUnload`] is passed as true, a `beforeunload` dialog might be summoned and should be handled
manually via [`event: Page.dialog`] event.
:::

### option: Page.close.reason
* since: v1.40
- `reason` <[string]>

The reason to be reported to the operations interrupted by the page closure.

### option: Page.close.runBeforeUnload
* since: v1.8
- `runBeforeUnload` <[boolean]>

Defaults to `false`. Whether to run the
[before unload](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/beforeunload) page handlers.

* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.dblclick`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).
* langs:
  - alias-csharp: DblClickAsync

This method double clicks an element matching [`param: selector`] by performing the following steps:
1. Find an element matching [`param: selector`]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to
   the DOM.
1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the matched element, unless [`option: force`] option is
   set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
1. Scroll the element into view if needed.
1. Use [`property: Page.mouse`] to double click in the center of the element, or the specified [`option: position`].

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [`option: timeout`], this method throws a
[TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

:::note
`page.dblclick()` dispatches two `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.

## async method: Page.dispatchEvent
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.dispatchEvent`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).

The snippet below dispatches the `click` event on the element. Regardless of the visibility state of the element, `click`
is dispatched. This is equivalent to calling
[element.click()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/click).

**Usage**

```js
await page.dispatchEvent('button#submit', 'click');
```

```java
page.dispatchEvent("button#submit", "click");
```

```python async
await page.dispatch_event("button#submit", "click")
```

```python sync
page.dispatch_event("button#submit", "click")
```

```csharp
await page.DispatchEventAsync("button#submit", "click");
```

Under the hood, it creates an instance of an event based on the given [`param: type`], initializes it with
[`param: eventInit`] properties and dispatches it on the element. Events are `composed`, `cancelable` and bubble by
default.

Since [`param: eventInit`] is event-specific, please refer to the events documentation for the lists of initial
properties:
* [DeviceMotionEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DeviceMotionEvent/DeviceMotionEvent)
* [DeviceOrientationEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DeviceOrientationEvent/DeviceOrientationEvent)
* [DragEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DragEvent/DragEvent)
* [Event](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/Event)
* [FocusEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FocusEvent/FocusEvent)
* [KeyboardEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/KeyboardEvent)
* [MouseEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MouseEvent/MouseEvent)

* [TouchEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TouchEvent/TouchEvent)
* [WheelEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WheelEvent/WheelEvent)

You can also specify `JSHandle` as the property value if you want live objects to be passed into the event:

```js
// Note you can only create DataTransfer in Chromium and Firefox
const dataTransfer = await page.evaluateHandle(() => new DataTransfer());
await page.dispatchEvent('#source', 'dragstart', { dataTransfer });
```

```java
// Note you can only create DataTransfer in Chromium and Firefox
JSHandle dataTransfer = page.evaluateHandle("() => new DataTransfer()");
Map<String, Object> arg = new HashMap<>();
arg.put("dataTransfer", dataTransfer);
page.dispatchEvent("#source", "dragstart", arg);
```

```python async
# note you can only create data_transfer in chromium and firefox
data_transfer = await page.evaluate_handle("new DataTransfer()")
await page.dispatch_event("#source", "dragstart", { "dataTransfer": data_transfer })
```

```python sync
# note you can only create data_transfer in chromium and firefox

## async method: Page.evalOnSelector
* since: v1.9
* discouraged: This method does not wait for the element to pass actionability
  checks and therefore can lead to the flaky tests. Use [`method: Locator.evaluate`],
  other [Locator] helper methods or web-first assertions instead.
* langs:
  - alias-python: eval_on_selector
  - alias-js: $eval
- returns: <[Serializable]>

The method finds an element matching the specified selector within the page and passes it as a first argument to
[`param: expression`]. If no elements match the selector, the method throws an error. Returns the value of
[`param: expression`].

If [`param: expression`] returns a [Promise], then [`method: Page.evalOnSelector`] would wait for the promise to resolve and
return its value.

**Usage**

```js
const searchValue = await page.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
const preloadHref = await page.$eval('link[rel=preload]', el => el.href);
const html = await page.$eval('.main-container', (e, suffix) => e.outerHTML + suffix, 'hello');
// In TypeScript, this example requires an explicit type annotation (HTMLLinkElement) on el:
const preloadHrefTS = await page.$eval('link[rel=preload]', (el: HTMLLinkElement) => el.href);
```

```java
String searchValue = (String) page.evalOnSelector("#search", "el => el.value");
String preloadHref = (String) page.evalOnSelector("link[rel=preload]", "el => el.href");
String html = (String) page.evalOnSelector(".main-container", "(e, suffix) => e.outerHTML + suffix", "hello");
```

```python async
search_value = await page.eval_on_selector("#search", "el => el.value")
preload_href = await page.eval_on_selector("link[rel=preload]", "el => el.href")
html = await page.eval_on_selector(".main-container", "(e, suffix) => e.outer_html + suffix", "hello")
```

```python sync
search_value = page.eval_on_selector("#search", "el => el.value")
preload_href = page.eval_on_selector("link[rel=preload]", "el => el.href")
html = page.eval_on_selector(".main-container", "(e, suffix) => e.outer_html + suffix", "hello")
```

```csharp
var searchValue = await page.EvalOnSelectorAsync<string>("#search", "el => el.value");
var preloadHref = await page.EvalOnSelectorAsync<string>("link[rel=preload]", "el => el.href");

## async method: Page.evalOnSelectorAll
* since: v1.9
* discouraged: In most cases, [`method: Locator.evaluateAll`],
  other [Locator] helper methods and web-first assertions do a better job.
* langs:
  - alias-python: eval_on_selector_all
  - alias-js: $$eval
- returns: <[Serializable]>

The method finds all elements matching the specified selector within the page and passes an array of matched elements as
a first argument to [`param: expression`]. Returns the result of [`param: expression`] invocation.

If [`param: expression`] returns a [Promise], then [`method: Page.evalOnSelectorAll`] would wait for the promise to resolve and
return its value.

**Usage**

```js
const divCounts = await page.$$eval('div', (divs, min) => divs.length >= min, 10);
```

```java
boolean divCounts = (boolean) page.evalOnSelectorAll("div", "(divs, min) => divs.length >= min", 10);
```

```python async

Optional argument to pass to [`param: expression`].

## async method: Page.evaluate
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Serializable]>

Returns the value of the [`param: expression`] invocation.

If the function passed to the [`method: Page.evaluate`] returns a [Promise], then [`method: Page.evaluate`] would wait
for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If the function passed to the [`method: Page.evaluate`] returns a non-[Serializable] value, then
[`method: Page.evaluate`] resolves to `undefined`. Playwright also supports transferring some
additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`.

**Usage**

Passing argument to [`param: expression`]:

```js
const result = await page.evaluate(([x, y]) => {
  return Promise.resolve(x * y);
}, [7, 8]);
console.log(result); // prints "56"
```

```java
Object result = page.evaluate("([x, y]) => {\n" +
  "  return Promise.resolve(x * y);\n" +
  "}", Arrays.asList(7, 8));
System.out.println(result); // prints "56"
```

```python async
result = await page.evaluate("([x, y]) => Promise.resolve(x * y)", [7, 8])
print(result) # prints "56"
```

```python sync
result = page.evaluate("([x, y]) => Promise.resolve(x * y)", [7, 8])
print(result) # prints "56"
```

```csharp
var result = await page.EvaluateAsync<int>("([x, y]) => Promise.resolve(x * y)", new[] { 7, 8 });
Console.WriteLine(result);
```

A string can also be passed in instead of a function:

```js
console.log(await page.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
const x = 10;
console.log(await page.evaluate(`1 + ${x}`)); // prints "11"
```

```java
System.out.println(page.evaluate("1 + 2")); // prints "3"
```

```python async
print(await page.evaluate("1 + 2")) # prints "3"
x = 10
print(await page.evaluate(f"1 + {x}")) # prints "11"
```

```python sync
print(page.evaluate("1 + 2")) # prints "3"
x = 10
print(page.evaluate(f"1 + {x}")) # prints "11"
```

```csharp
Console.WriteLine(await page.EvaluateAsync<int>("1 + 2")); // prints "3"
```

[ElementHandle] instances can be passed as an argument to the [`method: Page.evaluate`]:

```js
const bodyHandle = await page.evaluateHandle('document.body');
const html = await page.evaluate<string, HTMLElement>(([body, suffix]) =>
  body.innerHTML + suffix, [bodyHandle, 'hello']
);
await bodyHandle.dispose();
```

```java

html = page.evaluate("([body, suffix]) => body.innerHTML + suffix", [body_handle, "hello"])
body_handle.dispose()
```

```csharp

Optional argument to pass to [`param: expression`].

## async method: Page.evaluateHandle
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[JSHandle]>

Returns the value of the [`param: expression`] invocation as a [JSHandle].

The only difference between [`method: Page.evaluate`] and [`method: Page.evaluateHandle`] is that [`method: Page.evaluateHandle`] returns [JSHandle].

If the function passed to the [`method: Page.evaluateHandle`] returns a [Promise], then [`method: Page.evaluateHandle`] would wait for the
promise to resolve and return its value.

**Usage**

```js
// Handle for the window object.
const aWindowHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => Promise.resolve(window));
```

```java
// Handle for the window object.
JSHandle aWindowHandle = page.evaluateHandle("() => Promise.resolve(window)");
```

```python async
a_window_handle = await page.evaluate_handle("Promise.resolve(window)")
a_window_handle # handle for the window object.
```

```python sync
a_window_handle = page.evaluate_handle("Promise.resolve(window)")
a_window_handle # handle for the window object.
```

```csharp
// Handle for the window object.
var aWindowHandle = await page.EvaluateHandleAsync("() => Promise.resolve(window)");
```

A string can also be passed in instead of a function:

```js
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle('document'); // Handle for the 'document'
```

```java
JSHandle aHandle = page.evaluateHandle("document"); // Handle for the "document".
```

```python async
a_handle = await page.evaluate_handle("document") # handle for the "document"
```

```python sync
a_handle = page.evaluate_handle("document") # handle for the "document"
```

```csharp
var docHandle = await page.EvaluateHandleAsync("document"); // Handle for the `document`
```

[JSHandle] instances can be passed as an argument to the [`method: Page.evaluateHandle`]:

```js
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());
await resultHandle.dispose();
```

```java
JSHandle aHandle = page.evaluateHandle("() => document.body");
JSHandle resultHandle = page.evaluateHandle("([body, suffix]) => body.innerHTML + suffix", Arrays.asList(aHandle, "hello"));

Optional argument to pass to [`param: expression`].

## async method: Page.exposeBinding
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Disposable]>

The method adds a function called [`param: name`] on the `window` object of every frame in this page. When called, the
function executes [`param: callback`] and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of [`param: callback`].
If the [`param: callback`] returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.

The first argument of the [`param: callback`] function contains information about the caller: `{ browserContext:
BrowserContext, page: Page, frame: Frame }`.

See [`method: BrowserContext.exposeBinding`] for the context-wide version.

**Usage**

An example of exposing page URL to all frames in a page:

```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright');  // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.

(async () => {
  const browser = await webkit.launch({ headless: false });
  const context = await browser.newContext();
  const page = await context.newPage();
  await page.exposeBinding('pageURL', ({ page }) => page.url());
  await page.setContent(`

## async method: Page.exposeFunction
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Disposable]>

The method adds a function called [`param: name`] on the `window` object of every frame in the page. When called, the
function executes [`param: callback`] and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of [`param: callback`].

If the [`param: callback`] returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.

See [`method: BrowserContext.exposeFunction`] for context-wide exposed function.

### param: Page.exposeFunction.name
* since: v1.8
- `name` <[string]>

Name of the function on the window object

### param: Page.exposeFunction.callback
* since: v1.8
- `callback` <[function]>
  * alias: FunctionCallback

Callback function which will be called in Playwright's context.

## async method: Page.fill
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.fill`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).

This method waits for an element matching [`param: selector`], waits for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks, focuses the element, fills it and triggers an `input` event after filling. Note that you can pass an empty string to clear the input field.

If the target element is not an `<input>`, `<textarea>` or `[contenteditable]` element, this method throws an error. However, if the element is inside the `<label>` element that has an associated [control](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), the control will be filled instead.

To send fine-grained keyboard events, use [`method: Locator.pressSequentially`].

### param: Page.fill.selector = %%-input-selector-%%
* since: v1.8

### param: Page.fill.value
* since: v1.8

Request the page to perform garbage collection. Note that there is no guarantee that all unreachable objects will be collected.

This is useful to help detect memory leaks. For example, if your page has a large object `'suspect'` that might be leaked, you can check that it does not leak by using a [`WeakRef`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/WeakRef).

```js
// 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
await page.evaluate(() => globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect));
// 2. Request garbage collection.
await page.requestGC();
// 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.
expect(await page.evaluate(() => !globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref())).toBe(true);
```

```java
// 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
page.evaluate("globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect)");
// 2. Request garbage collection.
page.requestGC();
// 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.
assertTrue(page.evaluate("!globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref()"));
```

```python async
# 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
await page.evaluate("globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect)")
# 2. Request garbage collection.
await page.request_gc()
# 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.
assert await page.evaluate("!globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref()")
```

```python sync
# 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
page.evaluate("globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect)")
# 2. Request garbage collection.
page.request_gc()
# 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.
assert page.evaluate("!globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref()")
```

```csharp
// 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
await Page.EvaluateAsync("globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect)");
// 2. Request garbage collection.
await Page.RequestGCAsync();
// 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.

## async method: Page.goto
* since: v1.8
* langs:
  - alias-java: navigate
- returns: <[null]|[Response]>

Returns the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the first
non-redirect response.

The method will throw an error if:
* there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates).
* target URL is invalid.
* the [`option: timeout`] is exceeded during navigation.
* the remote server does not respond or is unreachable.
* the main resource failed to load.

The method will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not
Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error".  The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling
[`method: Response.status`].

:::note
The method either throws an error or returns a main resource response. The only exceptions are navigation to
`about:blank` or navigation to the same URL with a different hash, which would succeed and return `null`.
:::

:::note
Headless mode doesn't support navigation to a PDF document. See the
[upstream issue](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=761295).
:::

### param: Page.goto.url
* since: v1.8
- `url` <[string]>

URL to navigate page to. The url should include scheme, e.g. `https://`.
When a [`option: Browser.newContext.baseURL`] via the context options was provided and the passed URL is a path,
it gets merged via the [`new URL()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/URL) constructor.

### option: Page.goto.waitUntil = %%-navigation-wait-until-%%

### option: Page.goto.timeout = %%-navigation-timeout-js-%%
* since: v1.8

### option: Page.goto.referer
* since: v1.8
- `referer` <[string]>

Referer header value. If provided it will take preference over the referer header value set by
[`method: Page.setExtraHTTPHeaders`].

## async method: Page.hideHighlight
* since: v1.60

Hide all locator highlight overlays previously added by [`method: Locator.highlight`] on this page.

## async method: Page.hover
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.hover`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).

This method hovers over an element matching [`param: selector`] by performing the following steps:
1. Find an element matching [`param: selector`]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to
   the DOM.
1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the matched element, unless [`option: force`] option is
   set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
1. Scroll the element into view if needed.
1. Use [`property: Page.mouse`] to hover over the center of the element, or the specified [`option: position`].

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [`option: timeout`], this method throws a
[TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

```java
page.onceDialog(dialog -> {
  dialog.accept("foo");
});

// prints 'foo'
System.out.println(page.evaluate("prompt('Enter string:')"));

// prints 'null' as the dialog will be auto-dismissed because there are no handlers.
System.out.println(page.evaluate("prompt('Enter string:')"));
```

This code above is equivalent to:
```java
Consumer<Dialog> handler = new Consumer<Dialog>() {
  @Override
  public void accept(Dialog dialog) {
    dialog.accept("foo");
    page.offDialog(this);
  }
};
page.onDialog(handler);

// prints 'foo'

System.out.println(page.evaluate("prompt('Enter string:')"));
```

### param: Page.onceDialog.handler
* since: v1.10
- `handler` <[function]\([Dialog]\)>

Receives the [Dialog] object, it **must** either [`method: Dialog.accept`] or [`method: Dialog.dismiss`] the dialog - otherwise
the page will [freeze](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/EventLoop#never_blocking) waiting for the dialog,
and actions like click will never finish.


## async method: Page.opener
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[null]|[Page]>

Returns the opener for popup pages and `null` for others. If the opener has been closed already the returns `null`.

## async method: Page.pause
* since: v1.9

Pauses script execution. Playwright will stop executing the script and wait for the user to either press the 'Resume'
button in the page overlay or to call `playwright.resume()` in the DevTools console.

User can inspect selectors or perform manual steps while paused. Resume will continue running the original script from
the place it was paused.

:::note
This method requires Playwright to be started in a headed mode, with a falsy [`option: BrowserType.launch.headless`] option.
:::

## async method: Page.pdf
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Buffer]>

Returns the PDF buffer.

`page.pdf()` generates a pdf of the page with `print` css media. To generate a pdf with `screen` media, call
[`method: Page.emulateMedia`] before calling `page.pdf()`:

:::note
By default, `page.pdf()` generates a pdf with modified colors for printing. Use the
[`-webkit-print-color-adjust`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-webkit-print-color-adjust) property to
force rendering of exact colors.
:::

**Usage**

```js
// Generates a PDF with 'screen' media type.
await page.emulateMedia({ media: 'screen' });
await page.pdf({ path: 'page.pdf' });
```

```java
// Generates a PDF with "screen" media type.
page.emulateMedia(new Page.EmulateMediaOptions().setMedia(Media.SCREEN));
page.pdf(new Page.PdfOptions().setPath(Paths.get("page.pdf")));
```

```python async
# generates a pdf with "screen" media type.
await page.emulate_media(media="screen")
await page.pdf(path="page.pdf")
```

```python sync
# generates a pdf with "screen" media type.
page.emulate_media(media="screen")
page.pdf(path="page.pdf")
```

```csharp
// Generates a PDF with 'screen' media type
await page.EmulateMediaAsync(new() { Media = Media.Screen });
await page.PdfAsync(new() { Path = "page.pdf" });
```

The [`option: width`], [`option: height`], and [`option: margin`] options accept values labeled with units. Unlabeled
values are treated as pixels.

A few examples:

* `page.pdf({width: '100px'})` - prints with width set to 100 pixels
* `page.pdf({width: '10cm'})` - prints with width set to 10 centimeters.

All possible units are:
* `px` - pixel
* `in` - inch
* `cm` - centimeter
* `mm` - millimeter

The [`option: format`] options are:
* `Letter`: 8.5in x 11in
* `Legal`: 8.5in x 14in
* `Tabloid`: 11in x 17in
* `Ledger`: 17in x 11in
* `A0`: 33.1in x 46.8in

## async method: Page.pickLocator
* since: v1.59
- returns: <[Locator]>

Enters pick locator mode where hovering over page elements highlights them and shows the corresponding locator.
Once the user clicks an element, the mode is deactivated and the [Locator] for the picked element is returned.

**Usage**

```js
const locator = await page.pickLocator();
console.log(locator);
```

```java
Locator locator = page.pickLocator();
System.out.println(locator);
```

```python async
locator = await page.pick_locator()
print(locator)
```

```python sync
locator = page.pick_locator()
print(locator)
```

```csharp
var locator = await page.PickLocatorAsync();
Console.WriteLine(locator);
```

## async method: Page.press
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.press`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).

Focuses the element, and then uses [`method: Keyboard.down`] and [`method: Keyboard.up`].

[`param: key`] can specify the intended
[keyboardEvent.key](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key) value or a single character to
generate the text for. A superset of the [`param: key`] values can be found
[here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key/Key_Values). Examples of the keys are:

`F1` - `F12`, `Digit0`- `Digit9`, `KeyA`- `KeyZ`, `Backquote`, `Minus`, `Equal`, `Backslash`, `Backspace`, `Tab`,
`Delete`, `Escape`, `ArrowDown`, `End`, `Enter`, `Home`, `Insert`, `PageDown`, `PageUp`, `ArrowRight`, `ArrowUp`, etc.

Following modification shortcuts are also supported: `Shift`, `Control`, `Alt`, `Meta`, `ShiftLeft`, `ControlOrMeta`.
`ControlOrMeta` resolves to `Control` on Windows and Linux and to `Meta` on macOS.

Holding down `Shift` will type the text that corresponds to the [`param: key`] in the upper case.

If [`param: key`] is a single character, it is case-sensitive, so the values `a` and `A` will generate different
respective texts.

Shortcuts such as `key: "Control+o"`, `key: "Control++` or `key: "Control+Shift+T"` are supported as well. When specified with the
modifier, modifier is pressed and being held while the subsequent key is being pressed.

**Usage**

```js
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://keycode.info');
await page.press('body', 'A');
await page.screenshot({ path: 'A.png' });
await page.press('body', 'ArrowLeft');

## async method: Page.querySelector
* since: v1.9
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Page.locator`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).
* langs:
  - alias-python: query_selector
  - alias-js: $
- returns: <[null]|[ElementHandle]>

The method finds an element matching the specified selector within the page. If no elements match the selector, the
return value resolves to `null`. To wait for an element on the page, use [`method: Locator.waitFor`].

### param: Page.querySelector.selector = %%-query-selector-%%
* since: v1.9

### option: Page.querySelector.strict = %%-input-strict-%%

* langs:
  - alias-python: query_selector_all
  - alias-js: $$
- returns: <[Array]<[ElementHandle]>>

The method finds all elements matching the specified selector within the page. If no elements match the selector, the
return value resolves to `[]`.

### param: Page.querySelectorAll.selector = %%-query-selector-%%
* since: v1.9


## async method: Page.requests
* since: v1.56
- returns: <[Array]<[Request]>>

Returns up to (currently) 100 last network request from this page. See [`event: Page.request`] for more details.

Returned requests should be accessed immediately, otherwise they might be collected to prevent unbounded memory growth as new requests come in. Once collected, retrieving most information about the request is impossible.

Note that requests reported through the [`event: Page.request`] request are not collected, so there is a trade off between efficient memory usage with [`method: Page.requests`] and the amount of available information reported through [`event: Page.request`].


## async method: Page.addLocatorHandler
* since: v1.42

When testing a web page, sometimes unexpected overlays like a "Sign up" dialog appear and block actions you want to automate, e.g. clicking a button. These overlays don't always show up in the same way or at the same time, making them tricky to handle in automated tests.

This method lets you set up a special function, called a handler, that activates when it detects that overlay is visible. The handler's job is to remove the overlay, allowing your test to continue as if the overlay wasn't there.

Things to keep in mind:
* When an overlay is shown predictably, we recommend explicitly waiting for it in your test and dismissing it as a part of your normal test flow, instead of using [`method: Page.addLocatorHandler`].
* Playwright checks for the overlay every time before executing or retrying an action that requires an [actionability check](../actionability.md), or before performing an auto-waiting assertion check. When overlay is visible, Playwright calls the handler first, and then proceeds with the action/assertion. Note that the handler is only called when you perform an action/assertion - if the overlay becomes visible but you don't perform any actions, the handler will not be triggered.
* After executing the handler, Playwright will ensure that overlay that triggered the handler is not visible anymore. You can opt-out of this behavior with [`option: noWaitAfter`].
* The execution time of the handler counts towards the timeout of the action/assertion that executed the handler. If your handler takes too long, it might cause timeouts.
* You can register multiple handlers. However, only a single handler will be running at a time. Make sure the actions within a handler don't depend on another handler.

:::warning
Running the handler will alter your page state mid-test. For example it will change the currently focused element and move the mouse. Make sure that actions that run after the handler are self-contained and do not rely on the focus and mouse state being unchanged.

For example, consider a test that calls [`method: Locator.focus`] followed by [`method: Keyboard.press`]. If your handler clicks a button between these two actions, the focused element most likely will be wrong, and key press will happen on the unexpected element. Use [`method: Locator.press`] instead to avoid this problem.

Another example is a series of mouse actions, where [`method: Mouse.move`] is followed by [`method: Mouse.down`]. Again, when the handler runs between these two actions, the mouse position will be wrong during the mouse down. Prefer self-contained actions like [`method: Locator.click`] that do not rely on the state being unchanged by a handler.

**Usage**

An example that closes a "Sign up to the newsletter" dialog when it appears:

```js
// Setup the handler.
await page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByText('Sign up to the newsletter'), async () => {
  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'No thanks' }).click();
});

// Write the test as usual.
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Start here' }).click();
```

```java
// Setup the handler.
page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByText("Sign up to the newsletter"), () -> {
  page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON, new Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("No thanks")).click();
});

// Write the test as usual.
page.navigate("https://example.com");
page.getByRole("button", Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Start here")).click();
```

```python sync
# Setup the handler.
def handler():
  page.get_by_role("button", name="No thanks").click()
page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_text("Sign up to the newsletter"), handler)

# Write the test as usual.
page.goto("https://example.com")
page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()
```

```python async
# Setup the handler.
async def handler():
  await page.get_by_role("button", name="No thanks").click()
await page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_text("Sign up to the newsletter"), handler)

# Write the test as usual.
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()
```

```csharp
// Setup the handler.
await page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync(page.GetByText("Sign up to the newsletter"), async () => {
  await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button, new() { Name = "No thanks" }).ClickAsync();
});

// Write the test as usual.
await page.GotoAsync("https://example.com");
await page.GetByRole("button", new() { Name = "Start here" }).ClickAsync();
```

An example that skips the "Confirm your security details" page when it is shown:

```js
// Setup the handler.
await page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByText('Confirm your security details'), async () => {
  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Remind me later' }).click();
});

// Write the test as usual.
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Start here' }).click();
```

```java
// Setup the handler.
page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByText("Confirm your security details"), () -> {
  page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON, new Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Remind me later")).click();
});

// Write the test as usual.
page.navigate("https://example.com");
page.getByRole("button", Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Start here")).click();
```

```python sync
# Setup the handler.
def handler():
  page.get_by_role("button", name="Remind me later").click()
page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_text("Confirm your security details"), handler)

# Write the test as usual.
page.goto("https://example.com")
page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()
```

```python async
# Setup the handler.
async def handler():
  await page.get_by_role("button", name="Remind me later").click()
await page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_text("Confirm your security details"), handler)

# Write the test as usual.
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()
```

```csharp
// Setup the handler.
await page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync(page.GetByText("Confirm your security details"), async () => {
  await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button, new() { Name = "Remind me later" }).ClickAsync();
});

// Write the test as usual.
await page.GotoAsync("https://example.com");
await page.GetByRole("button", new() { Name = "Start here" }).ClickAsync();
```

An example with a custom callback on every actionability check. It uses a `<body>` locator that is always visible, so the handler is called before every actionability check. It is important to specify [`option: noWaitAfter`], because the handler does not hide the `<body>` element.

```js
// Setup the handler.
await page.addLocatorHandler(page.locator('body'), async () => {
  await page.evaluate(() => window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded());
}, { noWaitAfter: true });

// Write the test as usual.
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Start here' }).click();
```

```java
// Setup the handler.
page.addLocatorHandler(page.locator("body"), () -> {
  page.evaluate("window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded()");
}, new Page.AddLocatorHandlerOptions().setNoWaitAfter(true));

// Write the test as usual.
page.navigate("https://example.com");
page.getByRole("button", Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Start here")).click();
```

```python sync
# Setup the handler.
def handler():
  page.evaluate("window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded()")
page.add_locator_handler(page.locator("body"), handler, no_wait_after=True)

# Write the test as usual.
page.goto("https://example.com")
page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()
```

```python async
# Setup the handler.
async def handler():
  await page.evaluate("window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded()")
await page.add_locator_handler(page.locator("body"), handler, no_wait_after=True)

# Write the test as usual.
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()
```

```csharp
// Setup the handler.
await page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync(page.Locator("body"), async () => {
  await page.EvaluateAsync("window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded()");
}, new() { NoWaitAfter = true });

// Write the test as usual.
await page.GotoAsync("https://example.com");
await page.GetByRole("button", new() { Name = "Start here" }).ClickAsync();
```

Handler takes the original locator as an argument. You can also automatically remove the handler after a number of invocations by setting [`option: times`]:

```js
await page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByLabel('Close'), async locator => {
  await locator.click();
}, { times: 1 });
```

```java
page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByLabel("Close"), locator -> {
  locator.click();
}, new Page.AddLocatorHandlerOptions().setTimes(1));
```

```python sync
def handler(locator):
  locator.click()
page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_label("Close"), handler, times=1)
```

```python async
async def handler(locator):
  await locator.click()
await page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_label("Close"), handler, times=1)
```

```csharp
await page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync(page.GetByText("Sign up to the newsletter"), async locator => {
  await locator.ClickAsync();
}, new() { Times = 1 });
```

### param: Page.addLocatorHandler.locator
* since: v1.42
- `locator` <[Locator]>

Locator that triggers the handler.

### param: Page.addLocatorHandler.handler
* langs: js, python
* since: v1.42
- `handler` <[function]\([Locator]\): [Promise<any>]>

Function that should be run once [`param: locator`] appears. This function should get rid of the element that blocks actions like click.

### param: Page.addLocatorHandler.handler
* langs: csharp
* since: v1.42
- `handler` <[function]\([Locator]\): [Promise<any>]>

Function that should be run once [`param: locator`] appears. This function should get rid of the element that blocks actions like click.

### param: Page.addLocatorHandler.handler
* langs: java
* since: v1.42
- `handler` <[function]\([Locator]\)>

Function that should be run once [`param: locator`] appears. This function should get rid of the element that blocks actions like click.

### option: Page.addLocatorHandler.times
* since: v1.44
- `times` <[int]>

Specifies the maximum number of times this handler should be called. Unlimited by default.

### option: Page.addLocatorHandler.noWaitAfter
* since: v1.44
- `noWaitAfter` <[boolean]>

By default, after calling the handler Playwright will wait until the overlay becomes hidden, and only then Playwright will continue with the action/assertion that triggered the handler. This option allows to opt-out of this behavior, so that overlay can stay visible after the handler has run.

## async method: Page.removeAllListeners
* since: v1.47
* langs: js

Removes all the listeners of the given type (or all registered listeners if no type given).
Allows to wait for async listeners to complete or to ignore subsequent errors from these listeners.

**Usage**

```js
page.on('request', async request => {
  const response = await request.response();
  const body = await response.body();
  console.log(body.byteLength);
});
await page.goto('https://playwright.dev', { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' });
// Waits for all the reported 'request' events to resolve.
await page.removeAllListeners('request', { behavior: 'wait' });
```

### param: Page.removeAllListeners.type
* since: v1.47
- `type` ?<[string]>

### option: Page.removeAllListeners.behavior = %%-remove-all-listeners-options-behavior-%%
* since: v1.47

## async method: Page.removeLocatorHandler
* since: v1.44

Removes all locator handlers added by [`method: Page.addLocatorHandler`] for a specific locator.

### param: Page.removeLocatorHandler.locator
* since: v1.44
- `locator` <[Locator]>

## async method: Page.reload
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[null]|[Response]>

This method reloads the current page, in the same way as if the user had triggered a browser refresh.
Returns the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the
last redirect.

### option: Page.reload.waitUntil = %%-navigation-wait-until-%%
* since: v1.8

### option: Page.reload.timeout = %%-navigation-timeout-%%
* since: v1.8

### option: Page.reload.timeout = %%-navigation-timeout-js-%%
* since: v1.8

## property: Page.request
* since: v1.16
* langs:
  - alias-csharp: APIRequest
- type: <[APIRequestContext]>

API testing helper associated with this page. This method returns the same instance as
[`property: BrowserContext.request`] on the page's context. See [`property: BrowserContext.request`] for more details.

## async method: Page.route
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Disposable]>

Routing provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by a page.

Once routing is enabled, every request matching the url pattern will stall unless it's continued, fulfilled or aborted.

:::note
The handler will only be called for the first url if the response is a redirect.
:::

:::note
[`method: Page.route`] will not intercept requests intercepted by Service Worker. See [this](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/1090) issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting [`option: Browser.newContext.serviceWorkers`] to `'block'`.
:::

:::note
[`method: Page.route`] will not intercept the first request of a popup page. Use [`method: BrowserContext.route`] instead.
:::

**Usage**

An example of a naive handler that aborts all image requests:

```js
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.route('**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}', route => route.abort());
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
```

```java
Page page = browser.newPage();
page.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", route -> route.abort());
page.navigate("https://example.com");
browser.close();
```

```python async
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", lambda route: route.abort())
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await browser.close()
```

```python sync
page = browser.new_page()
page.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", lambda route: route.abort())
page.goto("https://example.com")
browser.close()
```

```csharp
var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.RouteAsync("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", async r => await r.AbortAsync());
await page.GotoAsync("https://www.microsoft.com");
```

or the same snippet using a regex pattern instead:

```js
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.route(/(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)/, route => route.abort());
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
```

```java
Page page = browser.newPage();
page.route(Pattern.compile("(\\.png$)|(\\.jpg$)"),route -> route.abort());
page.navigate("https://example.com");
browser.close();
```

```python async
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.route(re.compile(r"(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)"), lambda route: route.abort())
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await browser.close()
```

```python sync
page = browser.new_page()
page.route(re.compile(r"(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)"), lambda route: route.abort())
page.goto("https://example.com")
browser.close()
```

```csharp
var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.RouteAsync(new Regex("(\\.png$)|(\\.jpg$)"), async r => await r.AbortAsync());
await page.GotoAsync("https://www.microsoft.com");
```

It is possible to examine the request to decide the route action. For example, mocking all requests that contain some post data, and leaving all other requests as is:

```js
await page.route('/api/**', async route => {
  if (route.request().postData().includes('my-string'))
    await route.fulfill({ body: 'mocked-data' });
  else
    await route.continue();
});
```

```java
page.route("/api/**", route -> {
  if (route.request().postData().contains("my-string"))
    route.fulfill(new Route.FulfillOptions().setBody("mocked-data"));
  else
    route.resume();
});
```

```python async
async def handle_route(route: Route):
  if ("my-string" in route.request.post_data):
    await route.fulfill(body="mocked-data")
  else:
    await route.continue_()
await page.route("/api/**", handle_route)
```

```python sync
def handle_route(route: Route):
  if ("my-string" in route.request.post_data):
    route.fulfill(body="mocked-data")
  else:
    route.continue_()
page.route("/api/**", handle_route)
```

```csharp
await page.RouteAsync("/api/**", async r =>
{
  if (r.Request.PostData.Contains("my-string"))
      await r.FulfillAsync(new() { Body = "mocked-data" });
  else
      await r.ContinueAsync();
});
```

If a request matches multiple registered routes, the most recently registered route takes precedence.

Page routes take precedence over browser context routes (set up with [`method: BrowserContext.route`]) when request
matches both handlers.

To remove a route with its handler you can use [`method: Page.unroute`].

:::note
Enabling routing disables http cache.

How often a route should be used. By default it will be used every time.

## async method: Page.routeFromHAR
* since: v1.23

If specified the network requests that are made in the page will be served from the HAR file. Read more about [Replaying from HAR](../mock.md#replaying-from-har).

Playwright will not serve requests intercepted by Service Worker from the HAR file. See [this](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/1090) issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting [`option: Browser.newContext.serviceWorkers`] to `'block'`.

### param: Page.routeFromHAR.har
* since: v1.23
- `har` <[path]>

Path to a [HAR](http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/har-12-spec) file with prerecorded network data. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to the current working directory.

### option: Page.routeFromHAR.notFound
* since: v1.23
- `notFound` ?<[HarNotFound]<"abort"|"fallback">>
* If set to 'abort' any request not found in the HAR file will be aborted.
* If set to 'fallback' missing requests will be sent to the network.

Defaults to abort.

### option: Page.routeFromHAR.update
* since: v1.23
- `update` ?<boolean>

If specified, updates the given HAR with the actual network information instead of serving from file. The file is written to disk when [`method: BrowserContext.close`] is called.

### option: Page.routeFromHAR.url
* since: v1.23
- `url` <[string]|[RegExp]>

A glob pattern, regular expression or predicate to match the request URL. Only requests with URL matching the pattern will be served from the HAR file. If not specified, all requests are served from the HAR file.

### option: Page.routeFromHAR.updateMode

- `updateMode` <[HarMode]<"full"|"minimal">>

When set to `minimal`, only record information necessary for routing from HAR. This omits sizes, timing, page, cookies, security and other types of HAR information that are not used when replaying from HAR. Defaults to `minimal`.

### option: Page.routeFromHAR.updateContent
* since: v1.32
- `updateContent` <[RouteFromHarUpdateContentPolicy]<"embed"|"attach">>

Optional setting to control resource content management. If `attach` is specified, resources are persisted as separate files or entries in the ZIP archive. If `embed` is specified, content is stored inline the HAR file.


## async method: Page.routeWebSocket

## async method: Page.selectOption
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.selectOption`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).
- returns: <[Array]<[string]>>

This method waits for an element matching [`param: selector`], waits for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks, waits until all specified options are present in the `<select>` element and selects these options.

If the target element is not a `<select>` element, this method throws an error. However, if the element is inside the `<label>` element that has an associated [control](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), the control will be used instead.

Returns the array of option values that have been successfully selected.

Triggers a `change` and `input` event once all the provided options have been selected.

**Usage**

```js
// Single selection matching the value or label
page.selectOption('select#colors', 'blue');

// single selection matching the label
page.selectOption('select#colors', { label: 'Blue' });

// multiple selection
page.selectOption('select#colors', ['red', 'green', 'blue']);

```

```java
// Single selection matching the value or label
page.selectOption("select#colors", "blue");
// single selection matching both the value and the label
page.selectOption("select#colors", new SelectOption().setLabel("Blue"));
// multiple selection
page.selectOption("select#colors", new String[] {"red", "green", "blue"});
```

```python async

## async method: Page.setChecked
* since: v1.15
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.setChecked`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).

This method checks or unchecks an element matching [`param: selector`] by performing the following steps:
1. Find an element matching [`param: selector`]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to
   the DOM.
1. Ensure that matched element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method throws.
1. If the element already has the right checked state, this method returns immediately.
1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the matched element, unless [`option: force`] option is
   set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
1. Scroll the element into view if needed.
1. Use [`property: Page.mouse`] to click in the center of the element.
1. Ensure that the element is now checked or unchecked. If not, this method throws.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [`option: timeout`], this method throws a
[TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

## async method: Page.setInputFiles
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.setInputFiles`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).

Sets the value of the file input to these file paths or files. If some of the `filePaths` are relative paths, then they
are resolved relative to the current working directory. For empty array, clears the selected files.
For inputs with a `[webkitdirectory]` attribute, only a single directory path is supported.

This method expects [`param: selector`] to point to an
[input element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input). However, if the element is inside the `<label>` element that has an associated [control](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), targets the control instead.

## async method: Page.setViewportSize
* since: v1.8

In the case of multiple pages in a single browser, each page can have its own viewport size. However,
[`method: Browser.newContext`] allows to set viewport size (and more) for all pages in the context at once.

[`method: Page.setViewportSize`] will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should set the
viewport size before navigating to the page. [`method: Page.setViewportSize`] will also reset `screen` size, use [`method: Browser.newContext`] with `screen` and `viewport` parameters if you need better control of these properties.

**Usage**

```js
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setViewportSize({
  width: 640,
  height: 480,
});
await page.goto('https://example.com');
```

```java
Page page = browser.newPage();
page.setViewportSize(640, 480);
page.navigate("https://example.com");
```

```python async
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.set_viewport_size({"width": 640, "height": 480})
await page.goto("https://example.com")
```

```python sync
page = browser.new_page()
page.set_viewport_size({"width": 640, "height": 480})
page.goto("https://example.com")
```

```csharp
var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.SetViewportSizeAsync(640, 480);
await page.GotoAsync("https://www.microsoft.com");
```

Captures the aria snapshot of the page. Read more about [aria snapshots](../aria-snapshots.md).

### option: Page.ariaSnapshot.mode
* since: v1.59
- `mode` <[AriaSnapshotMode]<"ai"|"default">>

When set to `"ai"`, returns a snapshot optimized for AI consumption: including element references like `[ref=e2]` and snapshots of `<iframe>`s. Defaults to `"default"`.

### option: Page.ariaSnapshot.timeout = %%-input-timeout-%%
* since: v1.59

### option: Page.ariaSnapshot.timeout = %%-input-timeout-js-%%

* since: v1.59
- `depth` <[int]>

When specified, limits the depth of the snapshot.

### option: Page.ariaSnapshot.boxes
* since: v1.60
- `boxes` <[boolean]>

When `true`, appends each element's bounding box as `[box=x,y,width,height]` to the snapshot. Coordinates are
relative to the viewport, in CSS pixels, as returned by [`Element.getBoundingClientRect()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/getBoundingClientRect).
Defaults to `false`.

## async method: Page.tap
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use locator-based [`method: Locator.tap`] instead. Read more about [locators](../locators.md).

This method taps an element matching [`param: selector`] by performing the following steps:
1. Find an element matching [`param: selector`]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to
   the DOM.
1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the matched element, unless [`option: force`] option is
   set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
1. Scroll the element into view if needed.
1. Use [`property: Page.touchscreen`] to tap the center of the element, or the specified [`option: position`].

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [`option: timeout`], this method throws a
[TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

:::note
[`method: Page.tap`] will throw if the [`option: Browser.newContext.hasTouch`] option of the browser context is false.

## async method: Page.waitForLoadState
* since: v1.8

Returns when the required load state has been reached.

This resolves when the page reaches a required load state, `load` by default. The navigation must have been committed
when this method is called. If current document has already reached the required state, resolves immediately.

:::note
Most of the time, this method is not needed because Playwright [auto-waits before every action](../actionability.md).
:::

**Usage**

```js
await page.getByRole('button').click(); // Click triggers navigation.
await page.waitForLoadState(); // The promise resolves after 'load' event.
```

```java
page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).click(); // Click triggers navigation.
page.waitForLoadState(); // The promise resolves after "load" event.
```

```python async
await page.get_by_role("button").click() # click triggers navigation.
await page.wait_for_load_state() # the promise resolves after "load" event.
```

```python sync
page.get_by_role("button").click() # click triggers navigation.
page.wait_for_load_state() # the promise resolves after "load" event.
```

```csharp

* deprecated: This method is inherently racy, please use [`method: Page.waitForURL`] instead.
* langs:
  * alias-python: expect_navigation
  * alias-csharp: RunAndWaitForNavigation
- returns: <[null]|[Response]>

Waits for the main frame navigation and returns the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation
will resolve with the response of the last redirect. In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to
History API usage, the navigation will resolve with `null`.

**Usage**

This resolves when the page navigates to a new URL or reloads. It is useful for when you run code which will indirectly
cause the page to navigate. e.g. The click target has an `onclick` handler that triggers navigation from a `setTimeout`.
Consider this example:

```js
// Start waiting for navigation before clicking. Note no await.
const navigationPromise = page.waitForNavigation();
await page.getByText('Navigate after timeout').click();
await navigationPromise;
```

```java
// The method returns after navigation has finished
Response response = page.waitForNavigation(() -> {
  // This action triggers the navigation after a timeout.
  page.getByText("Navigate after timeout").click();
});
```

```python async
async with page.expect_navigation():
    # This action triggers the navigation after a timeout.
    await page.get_by_text("Navigate after timeout").click()
# Resolves after navigation has finished
```

```python sync
with page.expect_navigation():
    # This action triggers the navigation after a timeout.
    page.get_by_text("Navigate after timeout").click()
# Resolves after navigation has finished
```

```csharp
await page.RunAndWaitForNavigationAsync(async () =>
{
    // This action triggers the navigation after a timeout.
    await page.GetByText("Navigate after timeout").ClickAsync();
});

// The method continues after navigation has finished
```

:::note
Usage of the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) to change the URL is considered
a navigation.

* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Use web assertions that assert visibility or a locator-based [`method: Locator.waitFor`] instead.
  Read more about [locators](../locators.md).
- returns: <[null]|[ElementHandle]>

Returns when element specified by selector satisfies [`option: state`] option. Returns `null` if waiting for `hidden` or
`detached`.

:::note
Playwright automatically waits for element to be ready before performing an action. Using
[Locator] objects and web-first assertions makes the code wait-for-selector-free.
:::

Wait for the [`param: selector`] to satisfy [`option: state`] option (either appear/disappear from dom, or become
visible/hidden). If at the moment of calling the method [`param: selector`] already satisfies the condition, the method
will return immediately. If the selector doesn't satisfy the condition for the [`option: timeout`] milliseconds, the
function will throw.

**Usage**

This method works across navigations:

```js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');  // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.

(async () => {
  const browser = await chromium.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();

be dispatched while the method is waiting for the condition.

**Usage**

Use the method to wait for a condition that depends on page events:

```java
List<String> messages = new ArrayList<>();
page.onConsoleMessage(m -> messages.add(m.text()));
page.getByText("Submit button").click();
page.waitForCondition(() -> messages.size() > 3);
```

## async method: Page.waitForTimeout
* since: v1.8
* discouraged: Never wait for timeout in production. Tests that wait for time are
  inherently flaky. Use [Locator] actions and web assertions that wait automatically.

Waits for the given [`param: timeout`] in milliseconds.

Note that `page.waitForTimeout()` should only be used for debugging. Tests using the timer in production are going to be
flaky. Use signals such as network events, selectors becoming visible and others instead.

**Usage**

```js
// wait for 1 second
await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
```

```java
// wait for 1 second
page.waitForTimeout(1000);
```

```python async
