What it does

Browserless provides managed cloud browsers for browser automation and HTTP APIs for tasks such as screenshots, PDFs, scraping and downloads. Its hosted browsers support connections from Puppeteer and Playwright; the service also documents BrowserQL and its Browser Automation Protocol. An API token is required for hosted-browser connections.

Browserless lets teams use managed browser infrastructure rather than maintain their own browser fleet. Its hosted-browser page documents connections from Puppeteer and Playwright, while the REST API page describes endpoints for screenshots, PDFs, scraping and other browser tasks. An illustrative first task is to connect an existing Puppeteer or Playwright script to the documented hosted-browser endpoint, keep the API token in an environment variable, then request a screenshot of a permitted page. The pricing page lists a monthly allowance of 1,000 units and up to two concurrent browsers on its Free tier. Usage is measured in units per browser connection; reconnects consume a new unit, and paid tiers can charge for overage.

Evidence

The hosted-browser and REST docs establish Puppeteer/Playwright connection inputs, token use and screenshot/PDF outputs. These concrete controls support75; the screenshot sequence is illustrative and no exact connection/request/result is retained, with unit/concurrency limits explicit.

Limits: Source-researched AI assessment. No hands-on product test or human fact-checking is claimed. An additional independent score check was waived by the owner.
