    From the README

    Deploy headless browsers in Docker. Run on our cloud or bring your own.

    Browserless allows remote clients to connect and execute headless work, all inside of docker. It supports the standard, unforked Puppeteer and Playwright libraries, as well offering REST-based APIs for common actions like data collection, PDF generation and more.

    We take care of common issues such as missing system-fonts, missing external libraries, and performance improvements, along with edge-cases like downloading files and managing sessions. For details, check out the documentation site built into the project which includes Open API docs.

    If you've been struggling to deploy headless browsers without running into issues or bloated resource requirements, then Browserless was built for you. Run the browsers in our cloud or your own, free for non-commercial uses.
