# Camoufox Python Interface
|
|
|
|
#### Lightweight wrapper around the Playwright API to help launch Camoufox.
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> All the the latest documentation is avaliable [here](https://camoufox.com/python).
|

|
|
|
|
## What is this?
|
|
|
|
This Python library wraps around Playwright's API to help automatically generate & inject unique device characteristics (OS, CPU info, navigator, fonts, headers, screen dimensions, viewport size, WebGL, addons, etc.) into Camoufox.
|
|
|
|
It uses [BrowserForge](https://github.com/daijro/browserforge) under the hood to generate fingerprints that mimic the statistical distribution of device characteristics in real-world traffic.
|
|
|
|
In addition, it will also calculate your target geolocation, timezone, and locale to avoid proxy protection ([see demo](https://i.imgur.com/UhSHfaV.png)).
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
First, install the `camoufox` package:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -U camoufox[geoip]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `geoip` parameter is optional, but heavily recommended if you are using proxies. It will download an extra dataset to determine the user's longitude, latitude, timezone, country, & locale.
|
|
|
|
Next, download the Camoufox browser:
|
|
|
|
**Windows**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
camoufox fetch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**MacOS & Linux**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 -m camoufox fetch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To uninstall, run `camoufox remove`.
|
|

# Installing multiple Camoufox versions & from other repos
|
|
|
|
## UI Manager
|
|
|
|
Manage installed browsers, active version, IP geolocation databases, and package info. Basically a Qt front end for the Python CLI tool.
|
|
|
|
More updates on it will be coming soon.

|
To use the gui, install Camoufox with the `[gui]` extra:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install 'camoufox[gui]'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To launch:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
camoufox gui
|
|
```

You can also pass a specifier to pin a specific version or choose a channel to follow directly. This will pull the latest stable version from the official repo on `camoufox fetch`.
