About cloud

The Browser Use Cloud skill provides comprehensive documentation and reference for the hosted Browser Use Cloud API and SDK platform. It enables developers to integrate browser automation capabilities into their applications through REST APIs (v2 and v3), Python and TypeScript SDKs, and various integration patterns. This skill covers authentication, session management, browser profiles, CDP WebSocket connections, and cloud infrastructure features like stealth browsers, residential proxies, and CAPTCHA handling.

The skill encompasses the complete Cloud API ecosystem including sessions, browser profiles with 1Password vault integration, webhook configurations, workspace management, and the skills marketplace. It provides guidance on using CDP direct access with Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium on cloud infrastructure, as well as integration with automation platforms like n8n, Make, and Zapier. The documentation covers advanced features such as live URL streaming, parallel execution patterns, geo-scraping, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) support.

This skill is designed for developers building browser automation solutions, AI agents with web interaction capabilities, and applications requiring reliable web scraping or testing infrastructure. It includes practical integration guides for implementing chat interfaces with live browser views, using browser-use as a subagent in larger systems, and adding browser automation tools to existing agent frameworks. The skill explicitly focuses on cloud-hosted solutions and does not cover the open-source Python library configuration.

FAQ

How do I authenticate with the Browser Use Cloud API?

Use the X-Browser-Use-API-Key header with your API key. Get your key at https://cloud.browser-use.com/new-api-key and set it as the BROWSER_USE_API_KEY environment variable. The Cloud API base URLs are https://api.browser-use.com/api/v2/ for v2 and https://api.browser-use.com/api/v3 for v3.

What's the difference between API v2 and v3?

API v2 provides 30 REST endpoints for direct browser control and task execution. API v3 is the BU Agent API focused on sessions, messages, files, and workspace management. Choose v2 for low-level browser control and v3 for agent-based workflows with conversation context.

Can I use Playwright or Puppeteer with Browser Use Cloud?

Yes, Browser Use Cloud supports CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) direct access via WebSocket at wss://connect.browser-use.com. You can connect Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium to this endpoint with your API key and optional proxy configuration parameters.

What SDKs are available for Browser Use Cloud?

Browser Use Cloud provides official SDKs for Python and TypeScript. Install with 'uv pip install browser-use-sdk' for Python or 'npm install browser-use-sdk' for TypeScript. Import v2 with 'from browser_use_sdk import AsyncBrowserUse' or v3 with 'from browser_use_sdk.v3 import AsyncBrowserUse' in Python.

Does this skill cover the open-source Browser Use library?

No, this skill specifically covers the hosted Browser Use Cloud API, SDKs, and cloud infrastructure features. For the open-source Python library (Agent, Browser, Tools configuration), use the separate open-source skill instead.
