Example of how to let the browser sleep for 5 seconds:

1
2
3
4
5

from browserist import Browser

with Browser() as browser:
    browser.open.url("https://example.com")
    browser.wait.seconds(5)

Random Time in Seconds#

Sometimes you want the browser appear less like a bot by randomizing the wait interval. Example of how to let the browser sleep for a random time between 3 and 20 seconds:

from browserist import Browser

with Browser() as browser:
    browser.open.url("https://example.com")
