Instead of just automating browser actions like clicking and typing, you can also inspect what requests the browser sends, see the responses it receives, and intercept or modify them on the fly\u2014all while writing code that looks and feels like normal Selenium.\n\nThe package depends on 15 runtime libraries including selenium, pyOpenSSL for HTTPS decryption, and various compression and protocol handlers (h2, wsproto, brotli, zstandard). It requires OpenSSL to be installed on the system for HTTPS traffic inspection. The last release was in October 2022, and the repository has since been archived, meaning no new features or bug fixes are being developed.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned as of January 2024 with no active maintenance. While it has low install friction and permissive licensing, the lack of ongoing support means security vulnerabilities, compatibility issues with newer Python or Selenium versions, and bugs will not be fixed. For new projects, consider actively maintained alternatives; for existing projects, plan a migration path."},"id":"selenium-wire","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/selenium-wire","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/selenium-wire.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/selenium-wire/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-10-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"selenium-wire","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Extends Selenium to give you the ability to inspect requests made by the browser."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1102342,"position":4367,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.1.0"}
