Documented steps

  1. bb = Browserbase(api_key=os.environ["BROWSERBASE_API_KEY"])
  2. session = bb.sessions.create(region="us-west-2", keep_alive=True, timeout=3600, project_id="your-project-id")
  3. Set custom viewport inside browser_settings: browser_settings={"viewport": {"width": 1440, "height": 900}}
  4. Valid regions: us-west-2, us-east-1, eu-central-1, ap-southeast-1
  5. timeout is in seconds, valid range 60-21600; keep_alive=True keeps the session live after your client disconnects
