Here we generate a CSV file and have the browser download it await page. I ultimately just need to get the data somewhere accessible by Google AppScript.Const puppeteer = require ( 'puppeteer' ) Ĭonst browser = await puppeteer.launch() My main issue is I don't understand how to actually handle file downloads in Puppeteer, I'm currently just editing the default download location for the google chrome instance puppeteer creates. So is there a way I could pass the file download in Puppeteer directly into Google AppScript somehow? Or use the Drive API to directly receive the file?

IF I were to do that, my Drive for Desktop work-around would not be viable. Thing is, I'd like this to be some type of scheduled cloud function not having to be manually run on my computer. I don't yet understand all too well how to handle file downloads through puppeteer, but I currently have a work around by setting the default chrome download path to a folder on my computer, and that folder is actually Drive for desktop, so easy way to get files directly in drive.

I currently have a Puppeteer script which automates CSV downloads into google drive which then allows me to programmatically access the data and move it into google sheets.Ĭurrently, I run this locally on my computer on VS code. Scraping Google search result links with Puppeteer shows one approach to grab the data with a simple HTTP request and static HTML parser like cheerio. When you install Puppeteer, it automatically downloads a recent version of Chrome for Testing (170MB macOS, 282MB Linux, 280MB Windows) that is guaranteed to work with Puppeteer. Would appreciate if anyone can suggest ideas:
