Browserbase Node SDK

The official Node.js/TypeScript SDK for Browserbase, the headless browser infrastructure behind Stagehand and many web agents. It wraps the Sessions API: create cloud browser sessions (with region, proxy, and fingerprint options), get a CDP connect URL, then drive the browser with Playwright or Puppeteer via chromium.connectOverCDP(). The SDK is a thin, typed REST client (@browserbasehq/sdk on npm, Apache-2.0); the heavy lifting — stealth browsers, residential proxies, session recording — lives in the Browserbase platform itself. Node 18+ required. Note: the deprecated browserbase/js-sdk repo is archived — use sdk-node.

```bash

npm install @browserbasehq/sdk playwright-core

```

```ts

import { chromium } from "playwright-core";

import { Browserbase } from "@browserbasehq/sdk";

const bb = new Browserbase({ apiKey: process.env.BROWSERBASE_API_KEY });

const session = await bb.sessions.create({ region: "us-west-2" });

const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(session.connectUrl);

const page = browser.contexts()[0].pages()[0];

await page.goto("https://example.com");

// ... use page ...

await browser.close();

```

Create sessions close to the point of use — an unconnected session terminates after 5 minutes.
