# Headless Chrome on Google App Engine

This sample application demonstrates how to use Headless Chrome via the [Puppeteer](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer/) module to take screenshots of webpages on [Google App Engine](https://cloud.google.com/appengine) Node.js [standard environment](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/nodejs).

## Running and deploying

Refer to the [appengine/README.md](../README.md) file for instructions on running and deploying.

## Hotel Price and Room Search

This application is mainly developed to help search for Hotels and book the best room with lowest price on the listing. There is a lot more depending on application,you can send to the database. 

```javascript 

    

    ...

        var database = firebase.database();

        // [START browser]

        const browser = await puppeteer.launch({

            args: ['--no-sandbox'],

            headless: true

        });

        // [END browser]

        const page = await browser.newPage();

        await page.setViewport({

            width: 1000,

            height: 900

        });

    ...

  

``` 

You have a browser instance that runs on the server and it's termed Headless because you don't get to see the `Chrome browser` but it will be gathering data on the background. 

You have to close the browser when you are done with the search, to reduce service costs on Google App Engine.

```JavaScript

    ...

        

     await browser.close();

    ...

```
