Browserbase
What is Browserbase?
Browserbase is a cloud platform for building and deploying AI agents that browse and interact with real websites. It provides managed headless browsers, web search, page fetching, serverless Functions, model access, and agent identity through one platform. Developers can use Stagehand for natural-language browser control or connect Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium to Browserbase sessions. The platform targets engineering teams building web automation, data extraction, testing, and operational workflows that require JavaScript rendering, authentication, or interactive pages. Its main differentiator is combining browser infrastructure, AI-agent tooling, observability, and deployment capabilities instead of requiring teams to assemble separate services.
How to use Browserbase?
1. Create a Browserbase account, start a project, and copy the API key from the dashboard. 2. Install the Browserbase SDK, Stagehand, Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium, then create a cloud browser session and connect your automation code. 3. Navigate to a target website, perform actions or extract data, and inspect the resulting logs, live view, screenshots, or session recording.
Browserbase's Core Features
Cloud Browser Sessions: Launch isolated, managed browser instances on demand without maintaining browser infrastructure.
Stagehand AI Automation: Control pages with natural-language act, extract, observe, and agent primitives that reduce selector maintenance.
Browser Automation Framework Support: Connect Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or Browserbase SDKs to existing automation code.
Search and Fetch APIs: Find relevant web pages and retrieve clean page content without using a full browser session for every request.
Browserbase Functions: Deploy browser agents as API-invocable or scheduled serverless workflows without managing execution infrastructure.
Agent Identity and Proxies: Improve access to protected websites with identity options, CAPTCHA solving, proxy configuration, and regional routing.
Session Observability: Debug workflows with live views, logs, screenshots, session recordings, and replayable execution history.
Model Gateway: Route Stagehand requests to supported major language models through one Browserbase API key with unified billing.
