Browserbase API

aid: browserbase:browser-api
name: Browserbase API
description: The Browserbase API is a REST interface for managing cloud-hosted browser sessions, projects,
  contexts, extensions, downloads, and complementary Search, Fetch, and Functions services. Agents and
  automation scripts connect via the SDKs or Playwright/Puppeteer compatible endpoints to navigate the
  web, capture content, and persist authenticated state.
