What it does

Fortress provides uninterrupted browser automation by using a stealth Chromium engine to avoid being blocked by scrapers and browser agents

When to use it
  • •When web scraping or automating tasks that require a browser instance
  • •When existing browser automation tools are getting blocked or detected
  • •When developing applications that require stealthy browser interactions
Ready-to-paste prompt
from fortress import Fortress; fortress = Fortress(); fortress.get('https://example.com')
Heads up: The fortress engine requires a compatible version of Chromium to be installed on the system, and may not work with all types of browser automation tasks
