Installation

Getting started with Browserable is straightforward. The quickest way is to use the npx command, which guides you through the setup process and ensures all dependencies are met:

npx browserable

After running the command, visit http://localhost:2001 to configure your LLM and Remote Browser API Keys.

For a manual setup, you will need Docker and Docker Compose. Clone the repository and start the development environment:

git clone https://github.com/browserable/browserable.git
cd browserable
cd deployment
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

Remember to set your API keys for an LLM provider (Gemini, OpenAI, Claude) and a remote browser provider (Hyperbrowser, Steel) in the Browserable admin dashboard.

Examples

Browserable provides a JavaScript SDK for easy integration into your projects. Install it using npm or yarn:

npm install browserable-js

Or with yarn:

yarn add browserable-js

Here is a simple example demonstrating how to create and run a task:

import { Browserable } from 'browserable-js';

// Initialize the SDK
const browserable = new Browserable({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key'
});

// Create and run a task
async function runTask() {
  const createResult = await browserable.createTask({
    task: 'Find the top trending GitHub repos of the day.',
    agent: 'BROWSER_AGENT'
  });

  // Wait for task completion
  const result = await browserable.waitForRun(createResult.taskId);
  console.log('Results:', result.data);
}

runTask();

The project also showcases impressive demos, such as searching for specific products on Amazon, summarizing research papers on Arxiv, and finding courses on Coursera, all powered by AI agents.
