Connect your favorite library in one line

Puppeteer

If you're using puppeteer's launch method, simply change it to connect and specify it to use browsercloud.

Selenium

Use libraries like selenium, webdriver and capybara with browsercloud.

REST APIs

Use our own REST API to get screen-casts, generate PDFs and more, or write your own with functions

const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
  browserWSEndpoint: 'wss://chrome.browsercloud.io'
})

const page = await browser.newPage()
await page.goto('https://browsercloud.io')
await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.png' })
browser.close()

// Specify browsercloud for the server
const driver = new webdriver.Builder()
  .forBrowser('chrome')
  .withCapabilities(chromeCapabilities)
  .usingServer('https://chrome.browsercloud.io/webdriver')
  .build();

// Take screenshot of results page. Save to disk.
await driver.get('https://www.example.com/');
const base64png = await driver.takeScreenshot();
fs.writeFileSync(
  '.no-git/screenshot.png',
  new Buffer(base64png, 'base64')
);
driver.quit();

// Automatically responds with a PDF download
$ curl -X POST \
  https://chrome.browsercloud.io/pdf \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --output site.pdf \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com/"
  }'

What Clients Say

Extremely useful service for rapid development and testing. Thanks for responsive support

Anne Warmack

Lead Engineer, Upleap

BrowserCloud is a great tool to perform automated browser tests quickly, we're very happy with it. We used to spend roughly 30 minutes running all tests, it's much easier now to use one endpoint to parallel them all

Christian Grigorjevas

CTO, Appbooster

After switching to BrowserCloud.io, it already helped us quite a lot in preventing bugs to be released

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not a developer, how can use this service ?

BrowserCloud can be used to automate all things which you usually do with browser, we can describe the most popular scenarios among our current clients:
- Parallel launch QA tests for websites and applications.
- Any kinds of data extraction: competitor’s prices monitoring, any microdata, images, URLs.
- Automated screenshots from any URL, or image generation from HTML (for example: automated banner generation).
- Mass generation of various PDF reports / invoices built on data from any URL.
- Shortified/referral/affiliate links validation, redirects counting.
- Site logins and form submitting automation.
- Video capture from the browser, especially when we can't just download a file, eg. online streams

We don't use Node.js on our side, how can I use the service?

BrowserCloud provides REST API functions which allow to make screenshots, PDF, video capture. You can also run your custom javascript code. This doesn't require make changes on your side.
