Browserbase is browser agent infrastructure that gives AI agents and applications scalable headless browsers, search and fetch APIs, and identity management to use the web like humans.
About
Browserbase is a cloud platform that lets AI agents and applications browse and interact with the web the way a human would. It addresses a common gap in automation: many websites have no public API, sit behind logins or CAPTCHAs, or change their interfaces frequently, which stops conventional scrapers and scripts. By providing fleets of managed headless browsers through a single API key, Browserbase turns the web into something programs can operate on directly.
The platform centers on cloud browsers, with supporting primitives around them: a Search API that finds relevant sites from a query, a Fetch API that converts any URL into HTML, JSON, or markdown, an Agents service for managed browser agents, Identity for authenticating agents past anti-bot systems, a Runtime for sandboxed code execution, a Model Gateway for using multiple AI models with one key, and Observability for debugging via replays, logs, and prompts. The company also maintains the open-source Stagehand SDK for browser automation. Browserbase reports that more than 10,000 companies use the platform, and its infrastructure is SOC-2 Type II compliant.

Who It's For
Browserbase is aimed primarily at developers and engineering teams building AI agents, automation workflows, or data pipelines. Typical users include AI engineers creating assistants that log into portals and fill forms, data teams extracting structured information from sites without APIs, and QA or product teams running continuous browser checks to catch broken flows. It serves industries such as AI and agent platforms, fintech, healthcare, go-to-market, and legal, supporting use cases like records verification, portal filings, document retrieval, data migration, and permissioned access to user-authorized accounts.
