Browser Use is the open-source browser agent (Python and TypeScript), a $0.02 per browser-hour cloud browser with stealth, CAPTCHA solving and residential proxies, and a hosted agent API.

Which Browser Use do I need?

• Path 1: Fully Hosted Cloud: Scale up with a fully hosted agent and browser.
• Path 2: CLI: Automate your own browser tasks.
• Path 3: Python Library: Run the open source Browser Use agent locally from your own code.

Quickstart

Path 1: Fully Hosted Cloud

Scale browser automation with our hosted agent, stealth browsers, and infrastructure for profiles, recordings, and data policies.

Get started with the API ↗

New Google, GitHub, or Microsoft signups get $15 cloud credit.

Path 2: CLI

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, or your favorite agent.

Install or upgrade browser-use to the latest stable version with uv using Python 3.12, run `browser-use skill install` to register the skill, and connect it to my browser. If setup or connection fails, follow https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness/blob/main/install.md.

Path 3: Python Library

Run the Browser Use agent locally from Python, with your choice of model and a local or cloud browser:

1. Install Browser Use (Python >= 3.11):

With uv installed, run uv init --python 3.12 first if you're starting a new project.

uv add browser-use

2. Add your OpenAI API key to .env:

# .env
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key
# BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=your-key  # Optional: BU2 model or cloud browser

For either optional Browser Use service, get a Browser Use API key.

3. Save this as agent.py:

import asyncio

from browser_use import Agent, Browser, ChatBrowserUse, ChatOpenAI
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

async def main():
    llm = ChatOpenAI(model='gpt-5.6-luna', reasoning_effort='xhigh')
    # llm = ChatBrowserUse(model='bu-2-0')  # Use BU2 instead; requires BROWSER_USE_API_KEY
    agent = Agent(
        task="Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo",
        llm=llm,
        # browser=Browser(use_cloud=True),  # Use a cloud browser; requires BROWSER_USE_API_KEY
    )
    history = await agent.run()
    print(history.final_result())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

To use BU2, replace the ChatOpenAI line with the commented ChatBrowserUse line. The cloud-browser option works with either model.

4. Run it:

uv run agent.py

The agent opens a browser, looks up the repository, and prints its answer.
