Documented steps

  1. Install `puppeteer-core` (not the version that downloads Chrome).
  2. Create a Browserbase session to obtain a connectUrl (see create-session route).
  3. Connect using the WebSocket endpoint: `const browser = await puppeteer.connect({ browserWSEndpoint: session.connectUrl });`
  4. Get the default page: `const page = (await browser.pages())[0];` then use normal Puppeteer APIs like `page.goto()`, `page.click()`, `page.type()`.
  5. Close the browser when finished: `await browser.close();`.
