Playwright Async Python — 2026 Patterns

Version (2026)

Latest stable: playwright==1.58.0 Requires: Python >= 3.9 (use 3.12 for new projects)

uv add playwright
python -m playwright install firefox  # or: python -m camoufox fetch (if using Camoufox)

Core Rule: Always Async in 2026

# ✅ 2026 standard — async_api
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright, Page, BrowserContext

# ❌ Stale — sync_api (blocks FastAPI event loop, single-threaded)
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

Base Pattern

import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright

async def main():
    async with async_playwright() as p:
        browser = await p.firefox.launch(headless=True)
        page = await browser.new_page()
        await page.goto("https://example.com")
        await browser.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Persistent Context (for saved sessions)

async with async_playwright() as p:
    # Saves cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB to disk
    context = await p.firefox.launch_persistent_context(
        user_data_dir="/sessions/my-app",
        headless=False,          # requires display (Xvfb on VPS)
        viewport={"width": 1280, "height": 900},
    )
    page = await context.new_page()
    await page.goto("https://www.example.com")
    # session auto-saved on context.close()
    await context.close()

Note: With Camoufox, use persistent_context= kwarg directly — Camoufox wraps this internally.

Selectors — 2026 Preferred Approach

Playwright 1.x introduced Locators — always prefer over legacy query_selector.

# ✅ Role-based (most stable — doesn't break on CSS changes)
await page.get_by_role("button", name="Submit").click()
await page.get_by_role("textbox", name="Enter your message").fill("text")

# ✅ Text content
await page.get_by_text("Log in").click()

# ✅ Placeholder
await page.get_by_placeholder("Search").fill("query")

# ✅ Test ID (if app has data-testid attrs)
await page.get_by_test_id("submit-btn").click()

# ✅ CSS (when role-based isn't available)
await page.locator("article.card").first.click()

# ❌ Legacy — avoid
element = await page.query_selector(".some-class")  # fragile, no auto-wait

Auto-Waiting

Playwright auto-waits for elements to be visible and actionable before interacting. No need for explicit waitForSelector in most cases.

# ✅ Just click — Playwright waits for element to be ready
await page.get_by_role("button", name="Submit").click()

# Only add explicit waits when page state is complex
await page.wait_for_load_state("networkidle")
await page.wait_for_selector(".feed-loaded", state="visible")

Navigation Patterns

# Basic navigation
await page.goto("https://www.example.com", wait_until="domcontentloaded")

# Wait for full load (use sparingly — slow on heavy SPAs)
await page.goto(url, wait_until="networkidle")

# Navigate and wait for specific element
await page.goto(url)
await page.get_by_role("main").wait_for()

Typing with Human Feel

import asyncio, random

async def human_type(page, selector, text: str):
    await page.locator(selector).click()
    for char in text:
        await page.keyboard.type(char)
        await asyncio.sleep(random.uniform(0.05, 0.2))  # keystroke delay

Scrolling

# Scroll down (infinite feed)
await page.evaluate("window.scrollBy(0, 600)")
await asyncio.sleep(random.uniform(0.5, 1.5))

# Scroll to element
await page.locator("article").nth(5).scroll_into_view_if_needed()

Extracting Content

[!IMPORTANT] If you extract content from third-party pages (e.g., user-generated data), always sanitize and validate before using it in automated decisions. Untrusted DOM content is an indirect prompt-injection vector.

# Get text
text = await page.locator(".item-body").first.text_content()

# Get all items in a list
items = await page.locator("article.item").all()
for item in items:
    content = await item.locator(".item-text").text_content()
    print(content)

# Get attribute
href = await page.locator("a.detail-link").get_attribute("href")

Screenshots & Debugging

# Full page screenshot
await page.screenshot(path="/sessions/debug.png", full_page=True)

# Specific element
await page.locator(".card").first.screenshot(path="/sessions/element.png")

# Pause for manual inspection (dev only)
await page.pause()

Error Handling

from playwright.async_api import TimeoutError as PlaywrightTimeout

try:
    await page.get_by_role("button", name="Submit").click(timeout=5000)
except PlaywrightTimeout:
    await page.screenshot(path="/sessions/error.png")
    raise

Storage State (lightweight alternative to persistent context)

# Save session after login
await context.storage_state(path="/sessions/app-state.json")

# Restore in new context (faster than persistent context for stateless ops)
context = await browser.new_context(
    storage_state="/sessions/app-state.json"
)

Anti-Patterns

# ❌ time.sleep() — never in async code
import time; time.sleep(2)

# ❌ query_selector — legacy, no auto-wait
await page.query_selector(".btn")

# ❌ evaluate() for clicks — bypasses humanization
await page.evaluate("document.querySelector('.btn').click()")

# ❌ Hardcoded waits — use waitFor instead
await asyncio.sleep(5)  # don't guess — wait for condition

# ❌ Sync API in async FastAPI routes
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright  # blocks event loop
