Documented steps

  1. Generate an API key at https://www.browserbase.com/settings.
  2. REST: send the key in the X-BB-API-Key header against base URL https://api.browserbase.com, e.g. 'curl -H "X-BB-API-Key: $BROWSERBASE_API_KEY" https://api.browserbase.com/v1/sessions'.
  3. SDK: pass api_key=... (Python 'Browserbase(api_key=...)') or apiKey (Node 'new Browserbase({apiKey})'); alternatively set the env var BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and instantiate without args.
  4. Find your Project ID on the right side of https://www.browserbase.com/overview (displayed next to the API key).
  5. Project ID is optional when creating a session - it is inferred from the API key when not supplied.
  6. Docs: https://docs.browserbase.com/welcome/getting-started , https://docs.browserbase.com/reference/api/sessions
