I recently made a thread about Chrome Debugger and here is what was released today

With Chromeless you can control Chrome (open website, click elements, fill out forms...) using an elegant API. This is useful for integration tests or any other scenario where you'd need to script a real browser.

And it works fine with lambda

const chromeless = new Chromeless({ remote: true })

const screenshot = await chromeless
.goto('https://test.com')
.scrollTo(0, 2000)
.screenshot()

console.log(screenshot)

await chromeless.end()



Can you help me with documentations for functions ? eg. screenshot, goto, scrollTo etc these kinda functions.

Very nice of them to write headless bot framework.. it was developed for white hat purpose, but it will be used for blackhats by internet marketers lol
So they claim it's possible to run 1000's of headless browsers on aws lamda, how it will be profitable for us like blackhat marketers?
And what if we run this big baby against querying google? I guess they can still detect the browsers.. or not?
