# Browserless

[Browserless](https://browserless.io) provides cloud browser infrastructure with a Sessions API. Use it when running agent-browser in environments where a local browser isn't available.

## Setup

```bash
export BROWSERLESS_API_KEY="your-api-token"
agent-browser -p browserless open https://example.com
```

Or use environment variables for CI/scripts:

```bash
export AGENT_BROWSER_PROVIDER=browserless
export BROWSERLESS_API_KEY="your-api-token"
agent-browser open https://example.com
```

The `-p` flag takes precedence over `AGENT_BROWSER_PROVIDER`.

## Configuration

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr><th>Variable</th><th>Description</th><th>Default</th></tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr><td><code>BROWSERLESS_API_KEY</code></td><td>API token (required)</td><td></td></tr>
    <tr><td><code>BROWSERLESS_API_URL</code></td><td>Base API URL (for custom regions or self-hosted)</td><td><code>https://production-sfo.browserless.io</code></td></tr>
    <tr><td><code>BROWSERLESS_BROWSER_TYPE</code></td><td>Type of browser to use (<code>chromium</code> or <code>chrome</code>)</td><td><code>chromium</code></td></tr>
    <tr><td><code>BROWSERLESS_TTL</code></td><td>Session TTL in milliseconds</td><td><code>300000</code></td></tr>
    <tr><td><code>BROWSERLESS_STEALTH</code></td><td>Enable stealth mode</td><td><code>true</code></td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

When enabled, agent-browser connects to a Browserless cloud session instead of launching a local browser. All commands work identically.

Get your API token from the [Browserless Dashboard](https://browserless.io).
