Introduction

What is Browserless?

Browserless provides managed headless browsers for automation. Connect Puppeteer or Playwright over WebSocket, or use REST and GraphQL APIs for scraping, screenshots, and PDFs. Run it in our cloud or self-host with Docker. We handle the browser infrastructure so you don't have to.

Before you start

Sign up for a free account and copy your API token from the Browserless dashboard. You'll pass it as the ?token= query parameter on every request.

Common use cases

Short, task-shaped guides. Each one ends with a working request.

• Scrape a website URL - get a token and pull data off a page, over REST or a WebSocket
• Create a browser session - keep one browser open across a multi-step flow
• Connect Puppeteer - point an existing script at a managed browser
• Connect Playwright - the same swap, in JavaScript or Python
• Create a browser agent - wire an LLM to a real browser
• Bypass CAPTCHAs on a website - stealth routes, automatic solving, and proxies

Get started

Not sure which to pick? See the API Comparison.

BAP

TypeScript and Python SDKs over BrowserQL, with built-in stealth, CAPTCHA solving, and fingerprint evasion. Best for bypassing sophisticated bot detection.

BaaS v2

Connect Puppeteer or Playwright to managed browsers over WebSocket. Drop in a single connection URL and your existing code runs in the cloud.

REST APIs

HTTP endpoints for screenshots, PDFs, scraping, and content extraction. No browser libraries required. Best for simple, stateless operations.

AI & Agent Integrations

Pre-built integrations with LLM frameworks, MCP servers, agent frameworks, AI SDKs, and no-code tools including n8n, Zapier, Browser Use, Vercel AI SDK, and LangChain.

Enterprise

Self-host with Docker or let Browserless manage a private deployment on your cloud provider, with real-time monitoring and enterprise-grade security controls.
