How To Deploy Puppeteer Script in Vercel via CLI & GitHub in 2022

This puppeteer tutorial is designed for beginners to learn how to use the node js puppeteer library to perform web scraping, testing, and creating website bots. Puppeteer is a Node library that provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs headless by default but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.

Also asking if you could look into how to do this with Node 18 / newer versions of puppeteer and chromium on vercel. Thx!

[juguetestoys]

hi michael ! work perfectly !
Your tutorials are superb

[luhuoyanshan]

Hi, node 14 is not support now, only ^18 supported, but change to 18, It can't run well now

can you make a video but with nextjs as they have the api routes that we could use, i get an error for the aws lambda like this after downloading and need help (the problem shows after copying what you did here and it just can't seem to work)

let chrome = {};
let puppeteer;
let options = {};
if {
chrome =
puppeteer = require("puppeteer-core");
} else {
puppeteer = require("puppeteer");
}
if {
options = {
args: [...chrome.args, "--hide-scrollbars", "--disable-web-security"],
defaultViewport: chrome.defaultViewport,
executablePath: await chrome.executablePath,
headless: true,
ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
};
}

export const getBrowser = async () => {

return await puppeteer.launch(options);
}

- error

Pretty nice tuto, but I've a message on Vercel that the function size is too big (52MB) and exceeds the 50 standard MB :/

[mehdiahmed]

thank you much, you saved me a lot of time and headache of trying to make this work, liked and subscribed

[KuroManX]

Thanks for this tutorial, I learned a lot of deployment, so many error. In the end vercel is not good to scrape, the basic tier have a request time of 5 seconds, that's impossible to scrape something in that time, after that the server goes to sleep mode and you get a time out error.

[akshatparmar]

I am facing an error code it is says server less function not found

Vercel, i have followed your tutorial exactly but I don’t why this issue is occurring please help

[arslanahmed]

hi micheal,
i am using whatsapp-web pkg in nodejs and this pkg uses pupetteer
in their documentaion they said they have given some command to run on linux server
how can i run that command in vercel because i want to deploy my nodejs on vercel but vercel blocks this pkg due to serverless function

[CodeConcoctions]

Please respond from the channel owner. Is it possible to publish puppeteer on render because I could not publish it?

[DreamingMaldives]

Thanks, but i believe vercel depreciated node14 from build therefore builds are failing. And this ONLY works kn node14. Correct me if im wrong? Any help appreciated.

[iyobosajefferson]

Thanks. Never knew puppeteer would be this much of a pain in the a*ss to setup. Thanks for the video!

[tausifkhan]

Sir please make video on playwright how to "deploy" playwright code on vercel or any ware so please make video on this topic sir

[abdulrafay]

if possible, please upload the repo with updated code

[dioncley]

An error occurred with your deployment

FUNCTION_INVOCATION_TIMEOUT

[rohanganatra]

Can u make a video on the best free alternatives to heroku since heroku is removing their free plans for puppeteer

[akshatparmar]

I followed your tutorial. It works amazing. But sometimes it times out the function. How can I display a error using express and not the vercel” branded error

[janis]

A bit confusing but works fine, thanks!

[KutluMizrak]

Node 14 is now discontinued, so this one fails.

[kamalkamals]

very complicated config i guess there are others example more better than this !
