Browserless

Screenshots, PDFs, and scraped content, all from one AI conversation

Stop managing headless Chrome servers. Your AI agent calls Browserless REST APIs to render pages, generate documents, and extract structured data from even the most protected websites. Team members request browser tasks in plain language and receive results in seconds.

Headless Chrome, zero infrastructure

Seven REST endpoints turn your AI agent into a browser automation powerhouse, rendering pages, capturing visuals, and extracting data without a single Chrome process on your servers.

Generate PDF Documents

Marketing needs a webpage saved as a polished PDF for offline distribution. Your AI agent calls the Browserless PDF endpoint with the target URL, configures page format and margins, and returns a print-ready document in about two seconds.

Capture Page Screenshots

QA team needs visual snapshots across deployments. Your AI agent calls the Browserless Screenshot endpoint with full-page or clipped capture options, selects PNG or JPEG format, and delivers high-quality images instantly.

Scrape Structured Content

Analytics team needs product listings from a competitor site. Your AI agent calls the Browserless Scrape endpoint with CSS selectors, waits for JavaScript to render, and returns structured JSON data ready for analysis.

Fetch Rendered HTML

A single-page app's content must be indexed or processed. Your AI agent calls the Browserless Content endpoint, waits for dynamic JavaScript execution, and retrieves the fully rendered DOM, including client-side generated elements.

Execute Custom Scripts

Complex browser workflows require Puppeteer logic. Your AI agent calls the Browserless Function endpoint with ESM module code, passes dynamic context objects, and returns custom results from managed Chrome infrastructure.

Bypass Bot Protection

Target website blocks automated requests with CAPTCHAs or fingerprinting. Your AI agent calls the Browserless Unblock endpoint in stealth mode, navigates past detection, and retrieves protected HTML content with optional cookies and screenshots.

Use Cases

Headless browsing put to work

See how teams use AI agents to automate PDF creation, visual monitoring, and data extraction from JavaScript-heavy websites through Browserless managed infrastructure.

Automated Report Generation as PDF

A sales manager requests a PDF version of a real-time analytics dashboard for a client meeting. Your AI Agent receives the dashboard URL, calls the Browserless Generate PDF endpoint with print-optimized settings, waits for all charts and data visualizations to fully render, and delivers a polished document. The manager gets a presentation-ready PDF without exporting manually from any reporting tool.

Visual Regression Monitoring Across Deployments

A QA engineer needs to verify that a code deployment did not break the user interface. Your AI Agent captures full-page screenshots of critical pages via the Browserless Screenshot endpoint before and after each release. The engineer reviews side-by-side comparisons to spot layout shifts, missing elements, or rendering errors, replacing hours of manual page-by-page inspection.

Price Data Extraction From Protected Sites

A procurement team tracks supplier pricing on websites protected by bot detection systems. Your AI Agent uses the Browserless Unblock endpoint to navigate past CAPTCHAs and browser fingerprint checks, then applies CSS selectors via the Scrape endpoint to extract product names and prices into structured JSON. The team receives competitive pricing intelligence without building custom scrapers or managing proxy rotation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent generate PDFs through Browserless?

The agent sends an HTTP request to the Browserless PDF endpoint with either a URL or raw HTML content. You can configure page format, margins, headers, footers, and print background settings. The API renders the page in headless Chrome, executes all JavaScript, and returns the PDF binary. Generation typically completes within two seconds.

Can the agent capture both full-page and clipped screenshots?

Yes. The Take Screenshot endpoint supports full-page capture that scrolls the entire page height. You can also define clip coordinates for partial captures targeting specific page regions. Output supports PNG or JPEG with configurable quality. Screenshots of standard pages complete in roughly one second.

What credentials does Tars need for Browserless?

Tars requires your Browserless API token, which you generate from your Browserless account dashboard. This single token authenticates all REST API calls including PDF generation, screenshots, scraping, content retrieval, custom functions, file downloads, and unblock operations. No OAuth flow is needed.

Does Tars store PDFs and screenshots generated by Browserless?

No. Tars retrieves PDFs, screenshots, and scraped data from Browserless in real-time but does not persist these outputs on its servers. The Browserless API returns content directly in HTTP responses. You can configure your agent to forward files to your preferred cloud storage or messaging platform.

How does the agent handle bot-protected websites?

The Unblock endpoint uses stealth browser sessions with advanced fingerprint masking to bypass CAPTCHA challenges and bot detection services like Datadome. It can return rendered HTML content, session cookies, and page screenshots. For heavily protected sites, configure wait conditions and appropriate timeout values for best results.

Can the agent run custom Puppeteer scripts on Browserless?

Yes. The Execute Custom Function endpoint accepts ESM module code with a default export function. Pass dynamic data through context objects. Your scripts run on managed Chrome infrastructure without local browser dependencies. This enables complex workflows like form submissions, multi-step navigation, and data transformation beyond what standard endpoints offer.

How does Browserless through Tars differ from running Chrome locally?

Local Chrome requires server provisioning, memory management, dependency updates, and crash recovery. Browserless provides a managed pool of headless browsers with built-in scaling, load balancing, and session isolation. Tars adds a conversational layer so non-technical users can trigger browser operations without writing code or maintaining infrastructure.

Can the agent scrape JavaScript-rendered single-page applications?

Yes. Both the Fetch HTML Content and Scrape Content endpoints wait for JavaScript execution before extracting data. Configure waitForSelector to target specific DOM elements, waitForTimeout for time-based delays, or waitForEvent to listen for page load signals. The API returns fully rendered content from React, Angular, or Vue applications.
