Control Chrome programmatically

Question

Is it possible to control and instantiate a Chrome browser from C#? Things like opening a new window, changing the URL, reloading the tabs, etc.

I\'ve had a look for

Answer 1

Anyone who has tried Puppeteer? Article about it here. (not C# specific)

Answer 2

Doing a quick Google search for "chrome C# api" turned up some results I think you may like to consider

I thought the following were particularly promising, if you're willing to accept the concession of using Chrome's developer tools:

• Automating Chrome Browser from C#
• ChromeDevTools; a C# Library to interact with Chrome's Developer Tools
• Chrome Debugging API

Answer 3

There is an API available for that. It's called 'Selenium', and has a Chrome-specific third party extension.

Check that link.

Answer 4

Are you looking for something like CEF Sharp?

It's an open source project that allows you to embed Chrome into your .NET application. So you can have those C# controls interact with the browser.
