Simple to use

Browserless makes it easy to run your puppeteer scripts in an optimized way. It takes care of all the binaries and managing of Chrome so you don't have to.


It's as easy as changing one line of code.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

// Before
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();

// after
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
  browserWSEndpoint: 'wss://chrome.browserless.io?token=abc'
});

Highly configurable

browserless is highly configurable, allowing you to specify concurrency limits, session timers, queueing and logging. It also captures metrics like CPU usage, Memory usage, total requests and more.

docker run
  -d
  -p 3000:3000
  -e "DEBUG=browserless/chrome"
  -e "MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS=10"
  --name browserless
  --restart always
  browserless/chrome:latest

Truly browserless

Use the built-in REST API to execute functions using puppeteer. Keep your runtime the same while still using the best headless browser libraries.

module.exports = async ({ req, page, callback }) => {
  await page.goto(req.params.url);
  const screenshot = await puppeteer.screenshot();
  return callback(null, { screenshot });
}
