# Browserless Automação de navegador gerenciada para scraping e agentes de IA - Findings24: - Site: - Preços: Freemium - Categorias: Automação de navegadores com IA ## O que é Browserless? Browserless is a browser automation platform that provides managed browser infrastructure for Puppeteer, Playwright, REST, BrowserQL, and MCP-based workflows. It is built for teams that need to run real browsers reliably in production without maintaining the browser fleet themselves. The platform centers on a shared managed runtime with browser sessions, stealth features, CAPTCHA solving, persistent state, and regional endpoints. It supports cloud use as well as self-hosted deployment, so teams can choose the control plane that fits their workflow and infrastructure requirements. ## O que Browserless pode fazer? ### Multiple ways to drive the same runtime Use BrowserQL, Puppeteer, Playwright, REST APIs, or MCP against the same managed browser runtime, depending on the workflow and the amount of control you need. ### Managed browser fleet Run against managed Chromium, Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit instances that are kept patched, isolated, and ready to launch across the platform’s supported regions. ### Session persistence and authenticated profiles Keep browser state across requests with persistent sessions, authenticated profiles, cookies, local storage, and indexedDB so repeated logins are not required every run. ### Anti-bot and proxy controls Use built-in stealth features, CAPTCHA solving, and residential proxy routing to handle blocked pages and anti-bot checks from the runtime layer. ### REST tools for common browser tasks Generate screenshots, PDFs, and content extraction results through REST endpoints, including paths such as \`/screenshot\`, \`/pdf\`, \`/crawl\`, and \`/smart-scrape\`. ### Flexible deployment options Deploy in managed cloud or self-hosted mode, including open-source and licensed enterprise builds for environments that need their own infrastructure. ## Casos de uso ### Run existing automation in production Connect existing Puppeteer or Playwright code to a hosted browser runtime instead of maintaining your own browser servers, updates, and scaling layer. ### Handle one-off scraping and page rendering Extract content, take screenshots, or generate PDFs through REST endpoints when you want browser output without adding a browser library to the calling service. ### Support browser-based AI agents Give an AI agent a browser that can keep state across turns, sign in once, and work through multi-step tasks with MCP or agent-oriented browser access. ### Reuse login state across sessions Use authenticated profiles to store cookies and other authentication state so repeated automation runs can start already signed in. ### Run browser workloads in self-hosted environments Deploy on your own infrastructure when you need data sovereignty, air-gapped operation, or tighter control over browser execution. ## Perguntas frequentes ### What does Browserless do? Browserless provides a managed browser runtime and APIs for tasks such as scraping, automation, screenshots, PDFs, and AI-agent browser access. It also supports self-hosted deployment for teams that need to run the same APIs on their own infrastructure. ### Does Browserless have a free plan? The source shows a free plan with 1,000 units per month and no credit card required. Paid plans and enterprise pricing are also available, with enterprise options for private deployments or licensed self-hosting. ### Do I need to rewrite my automation code? Yes. The platform is designed to work with existing Puppeteer and Playwright code through connection-based workflows, and the site also documents REST APIs and MCP-based access for other use cases. ### Can I self-host Browserless? Browserless offers managed cloud, self-hosted, and enterprise deployment options. The self-hosted path is intended for teams that want to run the same APIs inside their own VPC, on-premises, or in air-gapped environments. ### How does unit-based pricing work? The pricing page defines a unit as a block of browser time of up to 30 seconds per browser connection, with longer runs using additional units. Reconnects count as new connections and incur a fresh unit charge. ## Informações rápidas - **Category**: Developer Tool - **Primary use**: Headless browser automation and scraping - **Platforms**: Managed cloud and self-hosted - **Supported browser runtimes**: Chromium, Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit - **Source domain**: browserless.io - **Pricing model**: Usage-based plans with a free tier and enterprise pricing
