Chrome Remote Interface v0.0.4 API Reference
Modules
Documentation for ChromeRemoteInterface
This module handles communicating with the DevTools HTTP JSON API
This module is responsible for all things connected to a Page
The Browser domain defines methods and events for browser managing
This domain exposes CSS read/write operations. All CSS objects (stylesheets, rules, and styles) have an associated id
used in subsequent operations on the related object. Each object type has a specific id
structure, and those are not interchangeable between objects of different kinds. CSS objects can be loaded using the get*ForNode()
calls (which accept a DOM node id). A client can also discover all the existing stylesheets with the getAllStyleSheets()
method (or keeping track of the styleSheetAdded
/styleSheetRemoved
events) and subsequently load the required stylesheet contents using the getStyleSheetText
methods
This domain is deprecated - use Runtime or Log instead
This domain exposes DOM read/write operations. Each DOM Node is represented with its mirror object that has an id
. This id
can be used to get additional information on the Node, resolve it into the JavaScript object wrapper, etc. It is important that client receives DOM events only for the nodes that are known to the client. Backend keeps track of the nodes that were sent to the client and never sends the same node twice. It is client’s responsibility to collect information about the nodes that were sent to the client.
Note that iframe
owner elements will return corresponding document elements as their child nodes.
DOM debugging allows setting breakpoints on particular DOM operations and events. JavaScript execution will stop on these operations as if there was a regular breakpoint set
Query and modify DOM storage
Debugger domain exposes JavaScript debugging capabilities. It allows setting and removing breakpoints, stepping through execution, exploring stack traces, etc
This domain emulates different environments for the page
Input/Output operations for streams produced by DevTools
Provides access to log entries
Network domain allows tracking network activities of the page. It exposes information about http, file, data and other requests and responses, their headers, bodies, timing, etc
This domain provides various functionality related to drawing atop the inspected page
Actions and events related to the inspected page belong to the page domain
Runtime domain exposes JavaScript runtime by means of remote evaluation and mirror objects. Evaluation results are returned as mirror object that expose object type, string representation and unique identifier that can be used for further object reference. Original objects are maintained in memory unless they are either explicitly released or are released along with the other objects in their object group
Provides information about the protocol schema
Security
The SystemInfo domain defines methods and events for querying low-level system information
Supports additional targets discovery and allows to attach to them
The Tethering domain defines methods and events for browser port binding
This module provides an API to the DevTools HTTP API
