Cloudflare Browser Rendering

Control headless browsers via Cloudflare's Browser Rendering service using CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) over WebSocket.

Prerequisites

• CDP_SECRET environment variable set
• Browser profile configured in openclaw.json with cdpUrl pointing to the worker endpoint:

  "browser": {
    "profiles": {
      "cloudflare": {
        "cdpUrl": "https://your-worker.workers.dev/cdp?secret=..."
      }
    }
  }
  

Quick Start

Multi-page Video

CDP Connection Pattern

The worker creates a page target automatically on WebSocket connect. Listen for Target.targetCreated event to get the targetId:

const WebSocket = require('ws');
const CDP_SECRET = process.env.CDP_SECRET;
const WS_URL = `wss://your-worker.workers.dev/cdp?secret=${encodeURIComponent(CDP_SECRET)}`;

const ws = new WebSocket(WS_URL);
let targetId = null;

ws.on('message', (data) => {
  const msg = JSON.parse(data.toString());
  if (msg.method === 'Target.targetCreated' && msg.params?.targetInfo?.type === 'page') {
    targetId = msg.params.targetInfo.targetId;
  }
});

Key CDP Commands

Command	Purpose
Page.navigate	Navigate to URL
Page.captureScreenshot	Capture PNG/JPEG
Runtime.evaluate	Execute JavaScript
Emulation.setDeviceMetricsOverride	Set viewport size

Common Patterns

Navigate and Screenshot

await send('Page.navigate', { url: 'https://example.com' });
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 3000)); // Wait for render
const { data } = await send('Page.captureScreenshot', { format: 'png' });
fs.writeFileSync('out.png', Buffer.from(data, 'base64'));
