What is Browserbase
Browserbase is a headless browser platform designed for AI agents and applications, that is, a browser without a graphical user interface (GUI) that can load and parse web pages, execute JavaScript code, and perform network requests and responses and other operations. Browserbase is compatible with Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium, and supports quickly launching and managing thousands of browser instances. Browserbase supports large-scale data collection, automated testing, and content scraping, among others, focusing on support and management of the underlying browser, and can handle situations in AI applications that require extracting data from complex UIs.
