Browserbase is a web browser infrastructure platform designed for AI applications and developers who need to automate tasks within web browsers at scale. It offers a managed, reliable, and high-performance environment for running headless browsers, removing the complexities of managing browser infrastructure.
Browserbase is compatible with common automation tools like Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium, allowing for seamless integration with existing code. Key features include scalable infrastructure that can spin up thousands of browsers quickly, globally located browsers to minimize latency, secure and isolated browser instances, and stealth capabilities like managed captcha solving and residential proxies to prevent detection. The platform also offers observability tools such as live view, session recording, and command logging for easy debugging.
Browserbase provides an API for file uploads, downloads, and custom browser extensions, along with SDKs for Node.js and Python. The platform markets itself as a developer-first solution, providing tools like a Browser Playground and AI Codegen for easy script creation, and extensive documentation to help developers get started quickly. The service also highlights compliance with SOC-2 Type 1 and HIPAA, with self-hosting options for stricter control.
