  title: Bright Data Scraping Browser Sessions API
  description: 'Scraping Browser provides fully managed remote Chromium browsers controlled via CDP/WebSocket

    from Puppeteer, Playwright, or Selenium. The browser session includes built-in unlocker logic,

    residential proxy egress, CAPTCHA solving, and fingerprint management.


    Driver control happens over WebSocket. This REST surface exposes session inventory and lifecycle

    inspection for observability and management.
