Documented steps

  1. Get your API key from https://www.browserbase.com/settings (starts with bb_).
  2. Send every request to https://api.browserbase.com/v1/... with the header 'X-BB-API-Key: <api-key>' (case-insensitive).
  3. Example: curl -X POST https://api.browserbase.com/v1/sessions -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-BB-API-Key: <key>' --data '{}'
  4. API keys are project-scoped: the project is inferred from the key, so Create Session can omit projectId.
  5. List sessions: GET /v1/sessions with the same header. Get one: GET /v1/sessions/{id}.
  6. Docs: https://docs.browserbase.com/reference/api
