fingerprint-suite
is a handcrafted assembly of tools for browser fingerprint generation and injection.
Today's websites are increasingly using fingerprinting to track users and identify them.
With the help of fingerprint-suite
you can generate and inject browser fingerprints into your browser, allowing you to fly your scrapers under the radar.

Overview
fingerprint-suite
is a modular toolkit for browser fingerprint generation and injection. It consists of the following npm
packages, which you can use separately, or together:
-
header-generator
: generates configurable, realistic HTTP headers -
fingerprint-generator
: generates realistic browser fingerprints, affecting the HTTP headers and browser JS APIs -
fingerprint-injector
: injects browser fingerprints into your Playwright or Puppeteer managed browser instance -
generative-bayesian-network
: our fast implementation of a Bayesian generative network used to generate realistic browser fingerprints
Quick start
The following example shows how to use the fingerprinting tools to camouflage your Playwright-managed Chromium instance.
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const { FingerprintGenerator } = require('fingerprint-generator');
const { FingerprintInjector } = require('fingerprint-injector');
(async () => {
const b = await chromium.launch({headless: false});
const ctx = await b.newContext();
const fingerprintGenerator = new FingerprintGenerator();
const fingerprintInjector = new FingerprintInjector();
const fingerprint = fingerprintGenerator.getFingerprint({
'locales': ['cs-CZ'], // setup your desired fingerprint features
'operatingSystems': ['linux'],
});
await fingerprintInjector.attachFingerprintToPlaywright(ctx, fingerprint);
// ...and enjoy your undercover browser while using the browser context as usual!
const page = await ctx.newPage();
await page.goto("https://apify.com");
})();
Performance
With ever-improving performance of antibot fingerprinting services, we use some of the industry-leading services to benchmark our performance.
The following table shows how is the latest build of fingerprint-suite
doing in tests provided by various open-source fingerprinting services.
The performace is evaluated using school-like grades (A being the best, F being the worst).
Service | Grade |
---|---|
BotD | |
CreepJS |
