Description

n8n-nodes-camoufox

n8n community node for Camoufox — a stealthy, anti-detect browser built on Firefox for web scraping that evades bot detection.

This node connects to a remote Camoufox instance via Playwright’s WebSocket protocol and provides scraping-focused operations.

Operations

| Operation | Description |
|———–|————-|
| Get Page Content | Navigate to a URL and return the full HTML, visible text, title, and status code |
| Extract Elements | Navigate to a URL and extract data from elements matching a CSS selector (text, HTML, attributes, links, or table data) |
| Screenshot | Navigate to a URL and capture a full page, viewport, or element screenshot |
| Run Script | Navigate to a URL and execute custom JavaScript in the page context |

Every operation is self-contained: provide a URL, optionally configure wait conditions and pre-actions, and get structured data back.

Pre-Actions

Each operation supports optional Actions Before Extract — a sequence of steps that run after navigation but before data extraction:

• Click — dismiss cookie banners, click “load more” buttons
• Fill / Type — enter text into form fields
• Wait for Selector — wait for dynamic content to appear
• Scroll to Bottom — trigger infinite scroll / lazy loading
• Wait (ms) — pause for a fixed duration

Installation

Via n8n UI (recommended)

1. Go to Settings → Community Nodes
2. Click Install a community node
3. Enter n8n-nodes-camoufox and click Install

Via CLI

npm
npm install n8n-nodes-camoufox
pnpm (inside your n8n installation directory)
pnpm add n8n-nodes-camoufox

Then restart n8n.

Setup

1. Run the Camoufox container

See camoufox-docker for the Docker container setup (Dockerfile, start script, and docker-compose example).

Quick start:

git clone https://github.com/LPilic/camoufox-docker.git camoufox
docker compose build camoufox
docker compose up -d camoufox

2. Configure n8n

Add n8n-nodes-camoufox to N8NCUSTOMEXTENSIONS:

N8NCUSTOMEXTENSIONS: /home/node/.n8n/custom-nodes/n8n-nodes-camoufox

Restart n8n, then create a Camoufox Connection credential:

• WebSocket Endpoint: ws://camoufox:9222 — the node will auto-discover the token via the /json API. You can also provide the full URL with token (e.g. ws://camoufox:9222/).
• Ignore HTTPS Errors: enable if behind a corporate proxy or using self-signed certs

Optional proxy settings are also available in the credential.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run build    # compile TypeScript + copy icons
pnpm run dev      # watch mode
pnpm run test     # run tests
pnpm run lint     # lint
