# Camoufox Python Interface
|
|
|
|
#### Lightweight wrapper around the Playwright API to help launch Camoufox.
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## What is this?
|
|
|
|
This Python library wraps around Playwright's API to help automatically generate & inject unique device characteristics (OS, CPU info, navigator, fonts, headers, screen dimensions, viewport size, WebGL, addons, etc.) into Camoufox.
|
|
|
|
It uses [BrowserForge](https://github.com/daijro/browserforge) under the hood to generate fingerprints that mimic the statistical distribution of device characteristics in real-world traffic.
|
|
|
|
In addition, it will also calculate your target geolocation, timezone, and locale to avoid proxy protection ([see demo](https://i.imgur.com/UhSHfaV.png)).
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
First, install the `camoufox` package:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -U camoufox[geoip]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `geoip` parameter is optional, but heavily recommended if you are using proxies. It will download an extra dataset to determine the user's longitude, latitude, timezone, country, & locale.
|
|
|
|
Next, download the Camoufox browser:
|
|
|
|
**Windows**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
camoufox fetch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**MacOS & Linux**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 -m camoufox fetch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To uninstall, run `camoufox remove`.

|

|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Camoufox is fully compatible with your existing Playwright code. You only have to change your browser initialization:
|
|
|
|
#### Sync API
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox
|
|
|
|
with Camoufox(headless=False) as browser:
|
|
page = browser.new_page()
|
|
page.goto("https://example.com/")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Async API
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from camoufox.async_api import AsyncCamoufox
|
|
|
|
async with AsyncCamoufox(headless=False) as browser:
|
|
page = await browser.new_page()
|
|
await page.goto("https://example.com")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters List

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### GeoIP & Proxy Support
|
|
|
|
By passing `geoip=True`, or passing in a target IP address, Camoufox will automatically use the target IP's longitude, latitude, timezone, country, locale, & spoof the WebRTC IP address.
|
|
|
|
It will also calculate and spoof the browser's language based on the distribution of language speakers in the target region.
|
|
|
|
[See demo](https://i.imgur.com/UhSHfaV.png).
|
|
|
|
#### Installation
|
|
|
|
Install Camoufox with the `geoip` extra:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -U camoufox[geoip]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Usage
|
|
|
|
Pass in the proxy dictionary as you would with Playwright's `proxy` parameter:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
with Camoufox(
|
|
geoip=True,
|
|
proxy={
|
|
'server': 'http://example.com:8080',
|
|
'username': 'username',
|
|
'password': 'password'
|
|
}
|
|
) as browser:
|
|
page = browser.new_page()
|
|
page.goto("https://www.browserscan.net")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<hr width=50>
|
|
|
|
### Remote Server (experimental)
|
|
|
|
**Warning! This feature is experimental. It uses a hacky workaround to gain access to undocumented Playwright methods.**
|
|
|
|
Camoufox can be ran as a remote websocket server. It can be accessed from other devices, and languages other than Python supporting the Playwright API.
|
|
|
|
#### Launching
|
|
|
|
To launch a remote server, run the following CLI command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m camoufox server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, configure the server with a launch script:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from camoufox.server import launch_server
|
|
|
|
launch_server(
|
|
headless=True,
|
|
geoip=True,
|
|
proxy={
|
|
'server': 'http://example.com:8080',
|
|
'username': 'username',
|
|
'password': 'password'
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Connecting
|
|
|
|
To connect to the remote server, use Playwright's `connect` method:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
|
|
|
|
with sync_playwright() as p:
|
|
# Example endpoint
|
|
browser = p.firefox.connect('ws://localhost:34091/8c7c6cdea3368d937ef7db2277d6647b')
|
|
page = browser.new_page()
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Because servers only use **one browser instance**, fingerprints will not rotate between sessions. If you plan on using Camoufox at scale, consider rotating the server between sessions.
|
|
|
|
<hr width=50>
|
|
|
|
### Virtual Display
|
|
|
|
While Camoufox includes patches to prevent headless detection, running in headless mode may still be detectable in the future. It's recommended to use a virtual display buffer to run Camoufox headlessly.
|
|
|
|
If you are running Linux, and would like to run Camoufox headlessly in a virtual display, install `xvfb`:
|
|
|
|
#### Debian-based distros
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install xvfb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Arch-based distros
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pacman -S xorg-server-xvfb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Confirm `Xvfb` is installed:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ which Xvfb
|
|
/usr/bin/Xvfb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, passing `headless='virtual'` will spawn a new lightweight virtual display in the background for Camoufox to run in.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### BrowserForge Integration
|
|
|
|
Camoufox is compatible with [BrowserForge](https://github.com/daijro/browserforge) fingerprints.
|
|
|
|
By default, Camoufox will generate an use a random BrowserForge fingerprint based on the target `os` & `screen` constraints.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox
|
|
from browserforge.fingerprints import Screen
|
|
|
|
with Camoufox(
|
|
os=('windows', 'macos', 'linux'),
|
|
screen=Screen(max_width=1920, max_height=1080),
|
|
) as browser:
|
|
page = browser.new_page()
|
|
page.goto("https://example.com/")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If Camoufox is being ran in headful mode, the max screen size will be generated based on your monitor's dimensions unless otherwise specified.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** To prevent UA mismatch detection, Camoufox only generates fingerprints with the same browser version as the current Camoufox version by default. If rotating the Firefox version is absolutely necessary, it would be more advisable to rotate between older versions of Camoufox instead.
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Injecting custom Fingerprint objects...</summary>
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> It is recommended to pass `os` & `screen` constraints into Camoufox instead. Camoufox will handle fingerprint generation for you. This will be deprecated in the future.
|
|
|
|
You can also inject your own Firefox BrowserForge fingerprint into Camoufox.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox
|
|
from browserforge.fingerprints import FingerprintGenerator
|
|
|
|
fg = FingerprintGenerator(browser='firefox')
|
|
|
|
# Launch Camoufox with a random Firefox fingerprint
|
|
with Camoufox(fingerprint=fg.generate()) as browser:
|
|
page = browser.new_page()
|
|
page.goto("https://example.com/")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** As of now, some properties from BrowserForge fingerprints will not be passed to Camoufox. This is due to the outdated fingerprint dataset from Apify's fingerprint-suite (see [here](https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite/discussions/308)). Properties will be re-enabled as soon as an updated dataset is available.
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
<hr width=50>
|
|
|
|
### Config
|
|
|
|
If needed, Camoufox [config data](https://github.com/daijro/camoufox?tab=readme-ov-file#fingerprint-injection) can be overridden/passed as a dictionary to the `config` parameter. This can be used to enable features that have not yet been implemented into the Python library.
|
|
|
|
Although, this isn't recommended, as Camoufox will populate this data for you automatically. See the parameters list above for more proper usage.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox
|
|
|
|
with Camoufox(
|
|
config={
|
|
'webrtc:ipv4': '123.45.67.89',
|
|
'webrtc:ipv6': 'e791:d37a:88f6:48d1:2cad:2667:4582:1d6d',
|
|
}
|
|
) as browser:
|
|
page = browser.new_page()
|
|
page.goto("https://www.browserscan.net/webrtc")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Camoufox will warn you if you are manually setting properties that the Python library handles internally.
