session.fetch(url, ...) issues an HTTP request from inside the page the session is on, through the browser's own fetch(). The request carries the page's cookies, the session's proxy and the browser's network fingerprint, which is what you want when calling a site's JSON endpoints after navigating to it or logging in.

with client.Session() as session:
    session.execute(type="goto", url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page")
    summary = session.fetch("/api/rest_v1/page/summary/Main_Page").json()
  • RemoteSession.fetch, and NotteSession.afetch / fetch for local sessions
  • method, headers, params, json, data and timeout, with the requests conventions
  • FetchResponse shaped like a requests response: status_code, ok, headers, text, url, json(), raise_for_status()
  • relative URLs resolve against the current page; cross-origin URLs are subject to CORS as in any browser tab
  • a non-2xx status is returned, not raised; a network failure raises the underlying JavaScript error

Built on evaluate_js, so it works against any API version that supports it. Docs: a Fetch section under browser controls plus the generated SDK reference pages.

Tests: unit tests for the script builder and response parsing, plus headless browser tests for same-origin, JSON and network-failure paths.

Walkthrough

The browser and remote session fetch APIs now return standard requests.Response objects. Response bodies use base64 transport to preserve binary data and declared character encodings. HTTP errors remain available through raise_for_status(), while network failures remain JavaScript errors. Documentation adds fetch examples, navigation, SDK references, and a Response page. OpenAPI generation now reuses cached sections by default and supports explicit refreshes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d88d8

This adds browser-context fetch APIs returning standard response objects, with request validation and byte-preserving response handling. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains.

Greptile Summary

Adds browser-context HTTP fetching to local and remote sessions.

  • Supports request methods, headers, query parameters, JSON and form bodies, and timeouts.
  • Preserves response bodies as exact bytes through base64 transport and returns a standard requests.Response.
  • Adds unit and browser integration coverage, including binary and non-UTF-8 responses.
  • Makes documentation generation deterministic offline while retaining an explicit OpenAPI refresh workflow.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the previous findings are resolved and no new actionable defects remain.

Query parameters are now inserted before URL fragments, GET and HEAD bodies are rejected before browser execution, and the follow-up preserves response bytes while selecting an appropriate text encoding. The feature also includes both unit and browser integration tests.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
packages/notte-core/src/notte_core/data/fetch.py Builds browser fetch scripts and reconstructs byte-preserving Requests responses; the previous query-fragment and GET/HEAD body findings are fixed.
packages/notte-browser/src/notte_browser/session.py Adds asynchronous and synchronous fetch entry points for local browser sessions.
packages/notte-sdk/src/notte_sdk/endpoints/sessions.py Adds RemoteSession.fetch through the existing JavaScript evaluation API.
docs/src/scripts/generate_llms.py Reuses a marker-delimited cached OpenAPI section by default and refreshes it only when requested.
tests/sdk/test_fetch_helper.py Covers request construction, error handling, response parsing, binary preservation, and declared charset decoding.
tests/test_fetch_helper.py Adds browser integration coverage for relative URLs, JSON, binary responses, and network failures.

Addressed both review findings in 677102d:

  • Query parameters are now inserted before any URL fragment (/items#results + params becomes /items?page=2#results), using urlsplit/urlunsplit so an existing query string is preserved too.
  • A body on a GET or HEAD request now raises ValueError before the script runs, instead of letting the browser reject it.

Both have unit tests. 307a063 adjusts one existing test that relied on a GET with a JSON body.

Switched the return type to a standard requests.Response and dropped the custom FetchResponse and FetchStatusError.

  • status_code, ok, reason, headers (case-insensitive), text, content, url, json() and raise_for_status() all behave as in requests, and raise_for_status() raises requests.HTTPError.
  • requests was already a dependency of notte-core, so nothing new is pulled in.
  • Tests updated accordingly; docs regenerated.

Fixed the failing pre-commit job in this PR.

The docs-sdk-generate hook ran make docs-llms, which rebuilds the API section of llms.txt from the live OpenAPI spec at api.notte.cc. Any API deploy between a local run and CI made the hook rewrite the file and fail, on any PR. Now:

  • generate_llms.py keeps the API section between <!-- openapi:begin ... --> / <!-- openapi:end --> markers and reuses it verbatim by default, so make docs-llms and the hook are offline and deterministic.
  • --refresh-openapi (new make docs-llms-refresh) fetches the live spec and rebuilds the section. The daily refresh-llms workflow now calls that, so its drift detection and degraded-spec guards keep working unchanged.
  • llms.txt is refreshed to the current spec in this commit (session-scoped file endpoints replace the old storage ones).
  • Tests cover the offline reuse, the refresh path, the fallback when no cached section exists, and the stub line the workflow greps for.

Follow-up on the review threads:

  • The response body now crosses the page boundary as base64 of response.arrayBuffer() instead of response.text(), so content is the exact bytes the server sent and binary responses survive. encoding comes from the charset parameter of Content-Type, falls back to utf-8 when the bytes are valid utf-8, and is otherwise left to requests' detection. Unit tests cover a binary body and a latin-1 page; a browser test fetches a PNG and checks the magic bytes.
  • The misc/response.mdx page is generated by sphinx-mintlify from requests.Response's own docstring; the generator has no way to exclude a referenced third-party class, so its truncated description and the json(kwargs) rendering are artifacts of that tool rather than something to edit by hand here.
