## WebSocket Connection
|
|
|
|
Single URL with all config as query params. Browser **auto-starts on connect** and **auto-stops on disconnect** — no REST calls needed to start or stop.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
wss://connect.browser-use.com?apiKey=YOUR_KEY&proxyCountryCode=us&timeout=30
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
CDP discovery is also available over HTTPS (for tools that use HTTP auto-discovery):
|
|
```
|
|
https://connect.browser-use.com/json/version?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Query Parameters
|
|
|
|
| Param | Required | Description |
|
|
|-------|----------|-------------|
|
|
| `apiKey` | **yes** | API key |
|
|
| `proxyCountryCode` | no | Residential proxy country (195+ countries) |
|
|
| `profileId` | no | Browser profile UUID |
|
|
| `timeout` | no | Session timeout in minutes (max 240) |
|
|
| `browserScreenWidth` | no | Browser width in pixels |
|
|
| `browserScreenHeight` | no | Browser height in pixels |
|
|
| `customProxy.host` | no | Custom proxy host |
|
|
| `customProxy.port` | no | Custom proxy port |
|
|
| `customProxy.username` | no | Custom proxy username |
|
|
| `customProxy.password` | no | Custom proxy password |
|
|
|
|
## SDK Approach
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Create browser
|
|
browser = await client.browsers.create(
|
|
profile_id="uuid",
|
|
proxy_country_code="us",
|
|
timeout=60,
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(browser.cdp_url) # wss://... for CDP connection
|
|
print(browser.live_url) # View in browser
|
|
|
|
# Stop (unused time refunded)
|
|
await client.browsers.stop(browser.id)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Playwright Integration
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
|
|
|
|
# Create cloud browser
|
|
browser_session = await client.browsers.create(proxy_country_code="us")
|
|
|
|
# Connect Playwright
|
|
pw = await async_playwright().start()
|
|
browser = await pw.chromium.connect_over_cdp(browser_session.cdp_url)
|
|
page = browser.contexts[0].pages[0]
|
|
|
|
# Normal Playwright code
|
|
await page.goto("https://example.com")
|
|
await page.fill("#email", "user@example.com")
|
|
await page.click("button[type=submit]")
|
|
content = await page.content()
|
|
|
|
# Cleanup
|
|
await pw.stop()
|
|
await client.browsers.stop(browser_session.id)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Puppeteer Integration
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-core');
|
|
|
|
const browser = await client.browsers.create({ proxyCountryCode: 'us' });
|
|
const puppeteerBrowser = await puppeteer.connect({ browserWSEndpoint: browser.cdpUrl });
|
|
const page = (await puppeteerBrowser.pages())[0];
|
|
|
|
await page.goto('https://example.com');
|
|
// ... normal Puppeteer code
|
|
|
|
await puppeteerBrowser.close();
|
|
await client.browsers.stop(browser.id);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Selenium Integration
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from selenium import webdriver
|
|
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
|
|
|
|
browser_session = await client.browsers.create(proxy_country_code="us")
|
|
|
|
options = Options()
|
|
options.debugger_address = browser_session.cdp_url.replace("wss://", "").replace("ws://", "").replace("/devtools/browser/", "")
|
|
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
|
|
|
|
driver.get("https://example.com")
|
|
# ... normal Selenium code
|
|
|
|
driver.quit()
|
|
await client.browsers.stop(browser_session.id)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Session Limits

- Free: 15 minutes max
|
|
- Paid: 4 hours max
