🦊 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")
