Why people use Browserbase
Browserbase for Web Scraping and Automated Data Collection
Browserbase changes the game by giving your agent a real browser in the cloud. You don't have to set up anything on your end. Your agent just requests a session, gets a connection URL, and starts clicking. You get the results you need without the infrastructure nightmare.
What Vinkius changes
You get a scalable way to run real browsers without managing any of the underlying infrastructure.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Browserbase.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can Browserbase handle sites with heavy JavaScript?
Yes, it uses real Chromium instances in the cloud, so it can execute any JavaScript just like a human browser would.
Does it work with Playwright or Puppeteer?
Yes, it provides a CDP WebSocket URL that is fully compatible with standard automation libraries like Playwright and Puppeteer.
How do I scale my web scraping with Browserbase?
It handles all the infrastructure for you, letting you spin up many sessions at once across different regions without managing any servers.
Can I see what my agent is doing in the browser?
Yes, you can monitor your active sessions and get details on things like the number of pages visited and the total duration.
Is it hard to set up Browserbase for my agent?
It's very simple. You just need to provide your API key, and your agent can start launching and controlling cloud browsers immediately.
Can I use Browserbase for automated QA testing?
Absolutely. It's a great way to run browser-based tests at scale without having to worry about local browser dependencies or hardware limits.
How is Browserbase different from Firecrawl?
Firecrawl is optimized for content extraction. it scrapes pages and returns clean data. Browserbase provides a full browser environment for interactive automation. your agent can click buttons, fill forms, log into websites, scroll, and navigate complex single-page applications (SPAs). Browserbase gives you a real browser, Firecrawl gives you the text from a page.
Which automation frameworks are supported?
Browserbase sessions expose a CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) WebSocket URL, which is compatible with all major browser automation frameworks: Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium WebDriver, and any capability that supports CDP connections. Simply point your framework at the connectUrl returned when creating a session.
What does the free tier include?
The free tier includes 1 browser hour, 1 concurrent browser session, and 7 days of data retention. No credit card required. For production workloads, paid plans start at $20/month (Developer) with more browser hours and concurrent sessions.
