How can use puppeteer with my current chrome (keeping my credentials)

i'm actually trying to use puppeteer for scraping and i need to use my current chrome to keep all my credentials and use it instead of relogin and type password each time which is a really time lose !

is there a way to connect it ? how to do that ? i'm actually using node v11.1.0 and puppeteer 1.10.0

let scrape = async () => {
const browser = await log()
const page = await browser.newPage()           
const delayScroll = 200
// Login 
await page.goto('somesite.com');
await page.type('#login-email', '*******);
await page.type('#login-password', "******");
await page.click('#login-submit');
// Wait to login
await page.waitFor(1000);

}

and now it will be perfect if i do not need to use that and go on page (headless, i dont wan't to see the page opening i'm just using the info scraping in node) but with my current chrome who does not need to login to have information i need. (because at the end i want to use it as an extension of chrome)

thx in advance if someone knows how to do that

First welcome to the community.

You can use Chrome instead of Chromium but sincerely in my case, I get a lot of errors and cause a mess with my personal tabs. So you can create and save a profile, then you can login with a current or a new account.

In your code you have a function called "log" I'm guessing that there you set launch puppeeteer.

const browser = await log()

Into that function use arguments and create a relative directory for your profile data:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    args: ["--user-data-dir=./Google/Chrome/User Data/"]
});

Run your application, login with an account and the next time you enter you should see your credentials

Any doubt please add a comment.
