🦊 Finic
A fleet of stealth browsers at your fingertips.
Finic provides browser infrastructure for developers building web scrapers, browser automations, and AI agents in Python. It does this by giving you a browser in the cloud you can control remotely using Playwright or Puppeteer (in just a few lines), or Selenium (with some work).
Finic is designed to be unopionated about the development process, and simply provide browser and network-level utilities to make sure your automations don’t get blocked.
Quickstart
git clone https://github.com/finic-ai/finic.git
Running Locally
Run the image locally the same as any other Docker container.
sudo docker-compose up --build
Once the container is running, you can connect to it like this.
CDP_URL = "ws://localhost:8000/ws"
async def main():
print("Connecting to Browser...")
async with async_playwright() as pw:
browser = await pw.chromium.connect_over_cdp(CDP_URL)
try:
print("Connected! Navigating...")
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.goto("https://example.com", timeout=2 * 60 * 1000)
print("Navigated! Scraping page content...")
html = await page.content()
print(html)
finally:
await browser.close()
asyncio.run(main())
Or run python testscript.py to test out the container.
If you want to use a Finic browser with an existing project, simply replace this line:
browser = playwright.chromium.launch(headless=False)
with this one: with this:
browser = playwright.chromium.connect_over_cdp("ws://localhost:8080/ws")
