What it does
Documentation reference for using Browser Use Cloud, the hosted API and SDK for browser automation. Use this skill whenever the user needs help with the Cloud REST API (v2, v3, or v4), browser-use-sdk (Python or TypeScript), X-Browser-Use-API-Key authentication, cloud sessions, browser profiles, profile sync, CDP WebSocket connections, stealth browsers, residential proxies, CAPTCHA handling, webhooks, workspaces, skills marketplace, liveUrl streaming, pricing, or integration patterns (chat UI, subagent, adding browser tools to existing agents). Also trigger for questions about n8n/Make/Zapier integration, Playwright/ Puppeteer/Selenium on cloud infrastructure, or 1Password vault integration. Do NOT use this for the open-source Python library (Agent, Browser, Tools config), use the open-source skill instead.
Browser Use Cloud Reference
Reference docs for the Cloud REST API, SDKs, and integration patterns. Read the relevant file based on what the user needs.
Choose a starter
- Hosted task in, result out: use the V4 SDK
runsresource inreferences/api-v4.md. - Your existing agent needs a browser: use the V4 SDK
browsersresource or REST/CDP, then explicitly stop the browser. - Local framework development: use the open-source
browser-useskill, not Cloud SDK calls.
Eligible new Google, GitHub or Microsoft signups get a one-time $1 Cloud credit. No card required; email/password signups do not qualify. Pricing and eligibility. Use gpt-5.6-luna for the free starter; paid-only models need a top-up.
Reuse BROWSER_USE_API_KEY, or guide the user through Cloud signup and key creation. Keep keys server-side, never in prompts or client bundles.
