Libretto

Libretto is an advanced toolkit designed to enhance the process of building and maintaining web integrations. It equips developers with a live browser environment and a highly efficient CLI to facilitate numerous automation and debugging tasks. Key features of Libretto include:

• Live Page Inspection: Navigate and inspect live web pages with minimal overhead, enabling seamless access to information and functionality.
• Network Traffic Capture: Capture and analyze network traffic to reverse-engineer site APIs, providing insights into request and response patterns for better integration.
• Automation Script Recording: Record user actions and convert them into reliable automation scripts that can be replayed as needed.
• Interactive Debugging: Debug workflows in real-time against the actual site, allowing for immediate troubleshooting of broken scripts.

Libretto was developed by the team at Saffron Health as a tool to manage integrations with common healthcare software. The decision to open-source Libretto aims at empowering other teams to efficiently maintain their own browser automation processes.
