Documented steps

  1. npm install puppeteer-core (the browser runs remotely on Steel, so the full puppeteer package's bundled Chromium is unnecessary)
  2. Create a session via the Steel SDK or POST https://api.steel.dev/v1/sessions (header steel-api-key)
  3. Connect: const browser = await puppeteer.connect({ browserWSEndpoint: `${session.websocketUrl}&apiKey=${STEEL_API_KEY}` })
  4. Automate with standard Puppeteer calls (page.goto, page.evaluate, ...)
  5. Release when done: await client.sessions.release(session.id)
  6. Docs: https://docs.steel.dev/overview/guides/puppeteer
