Download file using Puppeteer script

This tool allows downloading files that chrome has downloaded during the execution of puppeteer code. it sets up a blank page, creates a fresh download directory, injects the provided code, and executes it. once the script finishes, any downloaded files from chromium are returned with the appropriate content-type header.

Why this helps

Research files can be buried behind navigation steps, making a short information task surprisingly click-heavy.

  • Reduce repetitive clicks to reach downloadable files.
  • Keep file retrieval connected to the page that surfaced it.
  • Make recurring research collection easier to resume.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect MrScraper and Browserless to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation or tell Notis in plain language which research files to retrieve.
  • 3Give Notis one instruction to run a Browserless Puppeteer script on each supplied page and return files downloaded during the run.
  • 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test on a page with a file you are allowed to download.

Questions about this workflow

What kinds of files can this return?

The Browserless action returns files Chromium downloaded during the Puppeteer script, with their content types.

Does this download every file linked on the page?

The script determines which download actions to perform, so the instruction should name the intended file or download behavior.
