Run against Chromium instead of an HTTP fetch when page behavior depends on scripts, state, visual layout, or interactions.
Use screenshots, live viewing, and recording links to understand what happened during a run.
Browser-hour metering, concurrent session limits, viewer limits, and idle timeout make runtime easier to budget.
From browser creation to evidence.
Create a browser session with the options required for the task.
Drive the browser with Playwright, Puppeteer, browser-use, an agent, or your own CDP client.
Use viewer and recording artifacts for debugging, audit trails, and handoff between engineering and operations.
Short answers for searchers and AI crawlers.
No. Scraping is one use case. Remote Browser also fits QA, SEO audits, monitoring, agent workflows, and authenticated operations.
Remote Browser provides the browser runtime. Your script, agent, or integration decides what actions to take.
Yes. Each browser can expose a live viewer subject to plan limits.
