Browserless
FreemiumManaged headless browser infrastructure for production scraping, automation, AI agents, testing, screenshots, and PDFs with Puppeteer and Playwright.
Tool Information
What is Browserless?
Browserless provides scalable, managed headless Chrome browsers as a service so developers can run Puppeteer and Playwright scripts without operating browser infrastructure. It handles browsers, Chrome updates, anti-bot challenges, and production-scale reliability, with support for HTTP APIs, MCP tools, browser agents, authenticated profiles, and self-hosted or private deployments.
Core Features
Browsers as a Service
Managed headless browsers at scale so scripts connect via WebSocket or API without running or maintaining Chrome locally.
Puppeteer and Playwright Connect Support
One-line swap from launch() to connect() using a browserWSEndpoint with an API key; existing automation code stays the same.
HTTP APIs for Browser Tasks
Browser tasks over simple HTTP, including unblock, screenshots, PDFs, and related production APIs.
MCP Server
Browser automation over MCP so agents can search, scrape, and crawl with MCP clients such as Claude or Cursor.
Browser Agent
Managed browser agent that drives a real browser across multi-step tasks for production use.
Authenticated Profiles
Log in once and reuse authenticated sessions across runs so agents start signed in without embedding credentials.
Anti-bot and Stealth Capabilities
Stealth fingerprints, CAPTCHA solving, session persistence, retries, and anti-bot bypass to reduce blocking and proxy spend.
Screenshots, PDFs, and Downloads
Built-in APIs for pixel-perfect captures, PDF generation, and downloads.
Live Debugger and Observability
Live debugger plus request metrics and worker health tooling to debug and monitor sessions.
Self-hosted and Private Deployments
Run on your own infrastructure, license the container, or use a dedicated private fleet with custom specs.
Enterprise Customization and Compliance
Custom datacenter locations and providers, custom browser/library/concurrency settings, multi-cloud/GPU options, SSO, role-based access, SLAs, video support, dedicated technical account manager, and SOC 2 Type II compliance.
Extendable SDK and Open-source Codebase
Use the SDK to build custom features when self-hosting and extending the open-source codebase.
