Playwright APIs in k6
The following table shows which Playwright APIs are implemented in k6. k6 tries to match Playwright’s API behavior and signature exactly, but some differences may exist. For more details, refer to the individual API documentation page.
The status column has three different options:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| 🟩 | Implemented in k6 Browser |
| 🟥 | Not implemented in k6 Browser |
| 🟧 | k6 Browser only |
Note
If k6 is missing an API from Playwright that you need for your test, you can open an issue in the k6 GitHub repository.
