Browserless

Browserless is a cloud browser-automation platform that runs managed Chromium, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and WebKit browsers for Puppeteer, Playwright, and Selenium clients, plus a GraphQL-based stealth automation layer (BrowserQL) and a family of REST APIs for screenshots, PDFs, content scraping, function execution, performance audits, smart scraping, search, mapping, and full-site crawling. A built-in MCP server exposes browser tooling to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other agentic clients. The company also maintains a popular open-source Docker image of the same name (13k+ GitHub stars), residential proxies, CAPTCHA solving, session profiles, recordings, and hybrid live-URL workflows. Target customers are AI startups, agent developers, web scrapers, RPA teams, QA / monitoring teams, and enterprises running production browser automation at scale, with free, prototyping, starter, scale, and enterprise plans (including self-hosted licensing).

Browserless publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Browser REST APIs API, Browser WebSocket APIs API, and Management REST APIs API. Tagged areas include Headless Browser, Browser Infrastructure, Web Automation, AI Agents, and Web Scraping.

The Browserless catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
