Search returns ranked URLs with titles and descriptions so your agent lands in the right place on the first try.
Primitives
Your agent is only as good as its context
The Search and Fetch APIs let agents see and gather context on the web before acting on it.
Web APIs built for agents, not humans.
Most agent tasks start with a question: where should I go, and what's there?
Search API
Most search APIs are designed around how people browse. Agents don't browse. They navigate, extract, and act, and every unnecessary hop costs tokens, time, and reliability.
Fetch API
Most tools return what a page looks like in theory. The Fetch API returns what's actually there. Pass a URL, choose your format, and get back clean, structured content your agent can use immediately.
Search, then Fetch, then Browse
An agent-optimized web experience.
Fetch and Fetch Extract allow you to pull content and convert to markdown or structured JSON from a provided url. Request a page, get content back.
Browse is the final step that lets you take actions on a page. Log in, fill out a form, download a file.
Integrated with our browser agent SDK: Stagehand
One API Key gives your agents access to the whole web.
import { Stagehand } from "@browserbasehq/stagehand";
const stagehand = new Stagehand({
env: "BROWSERBASE"
})
await stagehand.init();
const agent = stagehand.agent({
model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
});
const page = stagehand.context.pages()[0];
await page.goto("https://browserbase.com");
const result = await agent.execute({
instruction: "Find the latest pricing for Browserbase",
useSearch: true,
maxSteps: 20,
});
