Pyqt5 QWebEngineView and QWebEnginePage

Can Someone please explain the usage of QWebEngineView and QWebEnginePage in PyQt5. I want to intercept all the requests and thereby override the acceptNavigationRequest() method belonging to the QWebEnginePage class. But I am not using any QWebEnginePage object but directly implementing the QWebEngineView.

I have an input field and i am loading URL from that field using this method.

def loadURL(self):
    self.load(QUrl(self.URL))
    print('Loading ', self.URL)

But the links that are followed from the loaded page are what i need to handle seperately. How do i do that.

You'll need to create a sublcass of QWebEnginePage reimplementing acceptNavigationRequest:

class WebEnginePage(QWebEnginePage):

  def acceptNavigationRequest(self, qUrl, requestType, isMainFrame):
    # return True to allow navigation, False to block it
    return True

Now in your QWebEngineView assign your new class as page using setPage:

class WebEngineView(QWebEngineView):

  def __init__(self, parent = None):
    super().__init__(parent)
    self.setPage(WebEnginePage(self))
