The MiniWoB++ (Mini World of Bits++) library contains a collection of over 100 web interaction environments, along with JavaScript and Python interfaces for programmatically interacting with them. The Python interface follows the Gymnasium API and uses Selenium WebDriver to perform actions on the web browser.
MiniWoB++ is an extension of the OpenAI MiniWoB benchmark, and was introduced in the paper Reinforcement Learning on Web Interfaces using Workflow-Guided Exploration.
The documentation website is at miniwob.farama.org. Development on MiniWoB++ is currently ongoing to bring it up to Farama Standards for mature projects, and will be maintained long term after this point. See the Project Roadmap for more details.

MiniWoB++ supports Python 3.8+ on Linux and macOS.
To install the MiniWoB++ library, use pip install miniwob.
We strongly recommend using Chrome or Chromium as the web browser, as other browsers may render the environments differently.
The MiniWoB++ Python interface uses Selenium,
which interacts with the browser via the WebDriver API.
Follow one of the
instruction methods
to install ChromeDriver. The simplest method is to
download ChromeDriver with the matching version,
unzip it, and then add the directory containing the chromedriver executable to the PATH environment variable:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/chromedriverFor Chromium, the driver may also be available in a software package; for example, in Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt install chromium-driverThe following code performs a deterministic action on the
click-test-2 environment.
import time
import gymnasium
import miniwob
from miniwob.action import ActionTypes
gymnasium.register_envs(miniwob)
env = gymnasium.make('miniwob/click-test-2-v1', render_mode='human')
# Wrap the code in try-finally to ensure proper cleanup.
try:
# Start a new episode.
obs, info = env.reset()
assert obs["utterance"] == "Click button ONE."
assert obs["fields"] == (("target", "ONE"),)
time.sleep(2) # Only here to let you look at the environment.
# Find the HTML element with text "ONE".
for element in obs["dom_elements"]:
if element["text"] == "ONE":
break
# Click on the element.
action = env.unwrapped.create_action(ActionTypes.CLICK_ELEMENT, ref=element["ref"])
obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
# Check if the action was correct.
print(reward) # Should be around 0.8 since 2 seconds has passed.
assert terminated is True
time.sleep(2)
finally:
env.close()See the documentation for more information.
The list of the environments that were included in the MiniWoB++ library can be found in the documentation. All environments share the same observation space, while the action space can be configured during environment construction.
