Key Features:

• Instant Scalability - Spin up hundreds of browser sessions in seconds without infrastructure headaches
• Simple Integration - Works seamlessly with popular tools like Puppeteer and Playwright
• Powerful APIs - Easy to use APIs for scraping/crawling any site, and much more
• Bypass Anti-Bot Measures - Built-in stealth mode, ad blocking, automatic CAPTCHA solving, and rotating proxies

Browser Agents

Hyperbrowser provides powerful browser agent tools that enable AI models to interact with web browsers programmatically. These browser agents can navigate websites, fill forms, click buttons, extract data, and perform complex web automation tasks.

Browser agents are particularly useful for:

• Web scraping and data extraction from complex websites
• Automating repetitive web tasks
• Interacting with web applications that require authentication
• Performing research across multiple websites
• Testing web applications

Hyperbrowser offers three types of browser agent tools:

• Browser Use Tool: A general-purpose browser automation tool
• OpenAI CUA Tool: Integration with OpenAI's Computer Use Agent
• Claude Computer Use Tool: Integration with Anthropic's Claude for computer use

With Custom Session Options

All tools support custom session options:

result = tool.run(
    {
        "task": "Go to npmjs.com, and tell me when react package was last updated.",
        "session_options": {
            "session_options": {"use_proxy": True, "accept_cookies": True}

All tools support async usage:

async def browse_website():
    tool = HyperbrowserBrowserUseTool()
    result = await tool.arun(
        {
            "task": "Go to npmjs.com, click the first visible package, and tell me when it was updated"
        }
    )
    return result


result = await browse_website()

Here's how to use any of the Hyperbrowser tools within an agent:

from langchain.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate, MessagesPlaceholder
from langchain_hyperbrowser import browser_use_tool
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent

llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0)

# You can use any of the three tools here
browser_use_tool = HyperbrowserBrowserUseTool()
agent = create_react_agent(llm, [browser_use_tool])

user_input = "Go to npmjs.com, and tell me when react package was last updated."
for step in agent.stream(
    {"messages": user_input},
    stream_mode="values",
):
    step["messages"][-1].pretty_print()
