Bypass bot detection with the Browserless /unblock API and get back content, cookies, a screenshot, or a live browser endpoint

Documented steps

1. POST https://production-sfo.browserless.io/unblock?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN&proxy=residential with Content-Type: application/json (add &proxy=residential or &proxy=datacenter to route through the built-in proxy pool).
2. Body: { "url": "...", "content": bool, "cookies": bool, "screenshot": bool, "browserWSEndpoint": bool, "ttl": <ms> } - set only the fields you need to true to cut execution time.
3. content:true returns the post-unblock HTML string; cookies:true returns cookie objects (name/value/domain/path/secure/httpOnly/expiry); screenshot:true returns a base64 PNG.
4. browserWSEndpoint:true (with cookies:true and a ttl) returns a wss:// endpoint plus cookies so you can puppeteer.connect()/chromium.connect() to the already-unblocked live browser - append ?token= to the returned endpoint and inject the cookies before continuing.
5. Decode/parse each returned field per its type and continue your automation from the unblocked state.
6. If the site still blocks you, switch to BrowserQL's solve mutation which auto-detects/solves reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare, and other CAPTCHA types. Ref: https://docs.browserless.io/rest-apis/unblock
