The platform offers REST APIs for common tasks like generating PDFs, screenshots, and smart scraping. Key capabilities include session persistence, auto-solving CAPTCHAs, and the ability to click hidden elements. Browserless ensures scalability with managed browser pools, handling load balancing and memory leaks, making it ideal for developers and businesses needing reliable, large-scale web interactions.

FAQs

What is a 'Unit' in Browserless pricing and how is it calculated?

A 'Unit' represents a block of browser time, up to 30 seconds per browser connection. Longer automations consume additional Units for every 30 seconds. Session reconnects also count as new browser connections, incurring a fresh Unit charge. Residential proxies use 6 Units per MB, and successful CAPTCHA solves cost 10 Units.

Can I use my existing Puppeteer or Playwright scripts with Browserless?

Yes, Browserless supports existing Puppeteer and Playwright scripts. You can connect your scripts by simply changing the endpoint to the Browserless WebSocket endpoint, allowing you to run your automations remotely with minimal code modifications.

Does Browserless offer self-hosting options for enterprise users?

Yes, Browserless provides enterprise users with options for private deployments or licensed self-hosting. This allows for custom machine setups, including specific GPUs, operating systems, and cloud providers, along with custom proxy limits and persistent cache/cookies.
