Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides an open-source browser API to automate web interactions for AI agents and applications with full browser control and session management.
- Eliminates the need to build and maintain complex browser automation infrastructure by handling sessions, proxies, extensions, and anti-detection internally.
- Use for building AI-powered web agents that require persistent browser sessions and stateful interactions with websites.
- Use for automating web scraping, screenshot capture, and PDF generation tasks via simple RESTful endpoints without managing browser instances.
- Use for integrating with existing Selenium or Puppeteer workflows to enhance browser automation with proxy rotation, stealth, and debugging tools.
