Use await browser.targets() to list every active Puppeteer target across browser contexts. Each item is a Target; inspect it with target.type() to distinguish pages, workers, and other target kinds. To restrict the list to one context, call context.targets().

List every active target in the browser

Call browser.targets() after connecting to or launching a browser. It returns a Target[] covering active targets in all browser contexts.

const targets = await browser.targets();

for (const target of targets) {
  console.log(target.type(), target.url());
}

The example prints each target’s type and URL. A target is not necessarily a visible tab or ordinary web page, so check its type before using page-specific methods.

Choose the method that matches your scope

Method What it returns Use it when
browser.targets() Active targets across all browser contexts. You need a browser-wide inventory.
context.targets() Active targets in that BrowserContext. You need to inspect only one context.
pages() Page-oriented results; non-visible pages such as background pages are not included. You want pages rather than a complete inventory of target types.

For complete target enumeration, pages() is not a substitute: it does not include all non-visible page-like targets. The BrowserContext API documents using Target.page() to access such a page when applicable.

Identify target types

Call target.type() to inspect the documented category. The API reference lists these values:

  • background_page
  • browser
  • other
  • page
  • service_worker
  • shared_worker
  • webview

Branch on the type before assuming a target supports page operations. For example, a worker target is not the same thing as a normal page target.

Get targets from a particular context

When you already have a BrowserContext, call its targets() method rather than enumerating the entire browser:

const contextTargets = await context.targets();

for (const target of contextTargets) {
  console.log(target.type(), target.url());
}

A new context can be created with browser.createBrowserContext(); create a page in it with context.newPage(). Browser contexts have isolated storage, and a newly created browser has at least one default context.

Or skip the browser setup

If what you need is a website screenshot rather than a Puppeteer target inventory, ScreenshotNeo offers a one-request screenshot API. Replace the example URL with the page you want to capture; see the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for request options.

curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webp

  • The free plan includes 1,000 screenshots per month with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000.

Troubleshoot target enumeration

  • A target is missing from pages(): it may be a non-visible target such as a background page. Enumerate with browser.targets() or the relevant context.targets(), then inspect the target type.
  • You see targets from more than one context: this is expected with browser.targets(). Use context.targets() when you want to limit the scope.
  • Page-specific handling fails: first inspect target.type(); the result may be a worker, browser, or other target rather than a page.
  • The method or enum differs from your documentation: Puppeteer references may correspond to different releases. Check your installed Puppeteer version and consult the API reference for that version.

Version note

Puppeteer API references can vary by version. The official reference pages reviewed for this guide reported versions from 25.9.0 through 25.12.0; verify the installed version and use its matching documentation before relying on version-specific behavior.
