  version: '1.0.0'
  description: |
    AsyncAPI 2.6 description of Lightpanda's programmable interface.

    Lightpanda is a headless browser; it does **not** expose a REST API. Its
    interface is the **Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)**, a bidirectional
    JSON-RPC 2.0-style wire protocol carried over a single **WebSocket**
    connection. This is the same protocol Chrome/Chromium expose for remote
    automation, which is why existing **Puppeteer**, **Playwright**, and
    **chromedp** clients work against Lightpanda unchanged - they simply connect
    to Lightpanda's WebSocket endpoint instead of Chrome's.

    Two deployment surfaces share this protocol:

      - **Local / self-hosted** (open source, AGPL-3.0): start the server with
        `lightpanda serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9222`. The CDP endpoint is
        `ws://127.0.0.1:9222`. Connect Puppeteer with
        `puppeteer.connect({ browserWSEndpoint: "ws://127.0.0.1:9222" })`, or
        Playwright/chromedp via `connectOverCDP`.

      - **Lightpanda Cloud** (managed): regional secure-WebSocket endpoints such
        as `wss://euwest.cloud.lightpanda.io/ws` and
        `wss://uswest.cloud.lightpanda.io/ws`. Authentication is a `token`
        query-string parameter (`?token=YOUR_TOKEN`). Optional query parameters
        include `browser=lightpanda|chrome` to choose the engine and `proxy` to
        configure egress.

    On the wire, the client sends CDP **command** messages (each an object with
    a numeric `id`, a `method` such as `Page.navigate` or `Runtime.evaluate`,
    and a `params` object) and the server returns matching command **results**
    (keyed by the same `id`) plus asynchronous **events** (objects with a
    `method` such as `Page.loadEventFired` and a `params` object, and no `id`).
    Lightpanda implements a subset of CDP sufficient for Puppeteer/Playwright
    automation.
