Documented steps Set BROWSERBASE_API_KEY in env; npm i playwright-core @browserbasehq/sdk 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(); const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(session.connectUrl); const defaultContext = browser.contexts()[0]; const page = defaultContext.pages()[0]; await page.goto("https://...", { waitUntil: "domcontentloaded" }); const debug = await bb.sessions.debug(session.id); console.log(debug.debuggerUrl); // live inspector await page.close(); await browser.close(); // release the session Docs: https://docs.browserbase.com/welcome/quickstarts/playwright Known gotchas Use playwright-core (not full playwright) when you only drive remote browsers; it avoids installing browser binaries. The response shape via REST has connectUrl and seleniumRemoteUrl; use connectUrl for CDP. Release sessions when done (page.close + browser.close) — you are billed by browser minutes.
