Client and sessions
| Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
WebSkrapClient |
Owns the Playwright lifecycle. Use it as an async context manager and call fetch() or search() for one-shot requests or session() for persistent contexts. |
WebSkrapSession |
A persistent browser context kept open across requests. Exposes fetch(), search(), human_click(), decline_cookies(), and the underlying Playwright context. |
FetchResult |
Result of a fetch: url, final_url, status, ok, headers, text, title, cookies, timings, screenshot_path, and cookie_notice_declined. |
SearchResult |
Result of a search: query, engine, the results page's url, final_url, status and ok, the capped hits, hits_total, timings, and cookie_notice_declined. |
SearchHit |
One organic result: title, url with the click-tracking redirect unwrapped, and snippet. |
decline_cookies(page) |
Click the reject control of a cookie consent notice on any Playwright page. Returns the strategy that clicked, or None. |
Configuration
| Symbol | Description |
|---|---|

CLI and MCP internals
webskrap.browser_session and webskrap.paths implement persistent CLI and
MCP browser sessions, sandbox selection, profile storage, and confined MCP
output. These modules are not re-exported from webskrap and are not part of
the stable public Python API. Use the webskrap browser CLI
or the MCP browser tools
instead of importing their helpers directly.
