Get started with Browserbase
Get up and running with all three core Browserbase capabilities in a single script. The Search API lets you perform web searches programmatically and receive structured results, no browser session required. Fetch grabs the content of any URL through Browserbase's infrastructure without creating a browser session, ideal for quick page retrievals where you don't need interactivity. And Browser Sessions give you a full cloud browser controlled via Playwright and CDP. No AI model required, just your Browserbase API key.
