Description: CProto
        ======
        
        **CProto** is a Debugging Protocol client that supports Chrome, Chromium
        and Blink based browsers.
        
        **CProto** provides you an advanced interface to interact with Chrome
        (or another supported browser) instance from your Python code. It’s
        greatly useful for automated testing, debugging, profiling or even
        complicated page crawling.

        Getting Started
        ---------------
        
        Installing CProto
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Python *2.7* or *3.3+* is required to install **CProto**.
        
        Install the latest version using pip:
        
        .. code:: sh
        
            $ pip install cproto
        
        Running Chrome in Debug mode
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Option 1: `Run Chrome in Docker`_, also in Headless mode.
        
        Option 2: Run Chrome on host machine:
        
        .. code:: sh
        
            # «chrome» should point to your installation of Chrome
            chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 "about:blank"
        
            # If you haven't created alias for Chrome yet, you could set it on MacOS like that:
            # For Chrome
            alias chrome="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"
            # For Chrome Canary
            alias chrome-canary="/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary"
            # For Chromium
            alias chromium="/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium"
        
        API Docs
        --------
        
        `Chrome Debugging Protocol documentation.`_
        
        **CProto** complies to official Chrome Debugging Protocol, which
        implicates CProto’s interface has the same API as Chrome Debugging
        Protocol. Consider this example:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from cproto import CProto
        
        
            # Print event's response and close CProto connection
            def on_load(response):
                print(response)
                cp.close()
        
        
            # Create CProto instance and connect to a browser over CDP
            cp = CProto(host='127.0.0.1', port=9222)
            # Enable Page domain events
            cp.Page.enable()
            # Adds Page callback that's fired after is loaded
            cp.Page.loadEventFired = on_load
            # Navigate browser to Github
            cp.Page.navigate(url='https://github.com')
        
        In this example `Page Domain API`_ was used to navigate to any arbitrary
        URL. There are a whole bunch of other methods and events available for
        each Domain, you could browse all of them on the CDP documentation
        website.
        
        Roadmap
        -------
        
        -  [x] Domains support
        -  [x] Methods support
        -  [x] Events support
        -  [ ] Types support
        -  TBA – suggestions are welcome
        
        Chrome Headless
        ---------------
        
        While Chrome Headless mode is only available for Linux (MacOS coming
        soon), you could use `Docker`_ to run Headless mode on any major OS.
        
        .. code:: sh
        
            # Build Docker image for Chrome Headless:
            $ docker build -t headless .
        
            # Run Docker Chrome Headless mode container with port 9222 being proxied to the host machine:
            $ docker run --rm -it --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN -p 9222:9222 headless
        
            # That's all here. Chrome Debugging interface is now listening for connections.
            # You could check it out by opening this link in your browser – http://localhost:9222.
