Browserbase

aid: browserbase
name: Browserbase
description: >-
  Browserbase is a browser-agent platform that provides managed, headless
  Chromium browsers and supporting web primitives for AI agents and automation
  workloads. Customers use a single API key to spin up sessions, fetch and
  search the web, persist context, route LLM calls, and observe agent behavior
  across replays and logs. The company maintains the popular open-source
  Stagehand SDK, a Director UI for agent design, a Browse CLI, and an MCP
  server. Target customers are AI startups, agent developers, RPA teams, and
  enterprises running production web automation, with SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA
  options. Billing is usage-based with a free tier and paid plans on the
  pricing page.

      The Browserbase API is a REST interface for managing cloud-hosted browser
      sessions, projects, contexts, extensions, downloads, and complementary
      Search, Fetch, and Functions services. Agents and automation scripts
      connect via the SDKs or Playwright/Puppeteer compatible endpoints to
      navigate the web, capture content, and persist authenticated state.
