π€οΈ Want to skip the setup? Use our [cloud](https://cloud.browser-use.com) for faster, scalable, stealth-enabled browser automation!
# π€ LLM Quickstart
1. Direct your favorite coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, etc) to [Agents.md](https://docs.browser-use.com/llms-full.txt)
2. Prompt away!
# π Human Quickstart
**1. Create environment with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (Python>=3.11):**
```bash
uv init
```
**2. Install Browser-Use package:**
```bash
# We ship every day - use the latest version!
uv add browser-use
uv sync
```
**3. Get your API key from [Browser Use Cloud](https://cloud.browser-use.com/new-api-key) and add it to your `.env` file (new signups get $10 free credits):**
```
# .env
BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=your-key
```
**4. Install Chromium browser:**
```bash
uvx browser-use install
```
**5. Run your first agent:**
```python
from browser_use import Agent, Browser, ChatBrowserUse
import asyncio
async def example():
browser = Browser(
# use_cloud=True, # Uncomment to use a stealth browser on Browser Use Cloud
)
llm = ChatBrowserUse()
agent = Agent(
task="Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo",
llm=llm,
browser=browser,
)
history = await agent.run()
return history
if __name__ == "__main__":
history = asyncio.run(example())
```
Check out the [library docs](https://docs.browser-use.com) and the [cloud docs](https://docs.cloud.browser-use.com) for more!
# π₯ Deploy on Sandboxes
We handle agents, browsers, persistence, auth, cookies, and LLMs. The agent runs right next to the browser for minimal latency.
```python
from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent
import asyncio
@sandbox()
async def my_task(browser: Browser):
agent = Agent(task="Find the top HN post", browser=browser, llm=ChatBrowserUse())
await agent.run()
# Just call it like any async function
asyncio.run(my_task())
```
See [Going to Production](https://docs.browser-use.com/production) for more details.
# π Template Quickstart
**Want to get started even faster?** Generate a ready-to-run template:
```bash
uvx browser-use init --template default
```
This creates a `browser_use_default.py` file with a working example. Available templates:
- `default` - Minimal setup to get started quickly
- `advanced` - All configuration options with detailed comments
- `tools` - Examples of custom tools and extending the agent
You can also specify a custom output path:
```bash
uvx browser-use init --template default --output my_agent.py
```
# π» CLI
Fast, persistent browser automation from the command line:
```bash
browser-use open https://example.com # Navigate to URL
browser-use state # See clickable elements
browser-use click 5 # Click element by index
browser-use type "Hello" # Type text
browser-use screenshot page.png # Take screenshot
browser-use close # Close browser
```
The CLI keeps the browser running between commands for fast iteration. See [CLI docs](browser_use/skill_cli/README.md) for all commands.
### Claude Code Skill
For [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code), install the skill to enable AI-assisted browser automation:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/browser-use
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/browser-use/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/browser-use/browser-use/main/skills/browser-use/SKILL.md
```

# FAQ
What's the best model to use?
We optimized **ChatBrowserUse()** specifically for browser automation tasks. On avg it completes tasks 3-5x faster than other models with SOTA accuracy.
**Pricing (per 1M tokens):**
- Input tokens: $0.20
- Cached input tokens: $0.02
- Output tokens: $2.00
For other LLM providers, see our [supported models documentation](https://docs.browser-use.com/supported-models).
Can I use custom tools with the agent?
Yes! You can add custom tools to extend the agent's capabilities:
```python
from browser_use import Tools
tools = Tools()
@tools.action(description='Description of what this tool does.')
def custom_tool(param: str) -> str:
return f"Result: {param}"
agent = Agent(
task="Your task",
llm=llm,
browser=browser,
tools=tools,
)
```
Can I use this for free?
Yes! Browser-Use is open source and free to use. You only need to choose an LLM provider (like OpenAI, Google, ChatBrowserUse, or run local models with Ollama).
How do I handle authentication?
Check out our authentication examples:
- [Using real browser profiles](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/examples/browser/real_browser.py) - Reuse your existing Chrome profile with saved logins
- If you want to use temporary accounts with inbox, choose AgentMail
- To sync your auth profile with the remote browser, run `curl -fsSL https://browser-use.com/profile.sh | BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=XXXX sh` (replace XXXX with your API key)
These examples show how to maintain sessions and handle authentication seamlessly.
How do I solve CAPTCHAs?
For CAPTCHA handling, you need better browser fingerprinting and proxies. Use [Browser Use Cloud](https://cloud.browser-use.com) which provides stealth browsers designed to avoid detection and CAPTCHA challenges.
How do I go into production?
Chrome can consume a lot of memory, and running many agents in parallel can be tricky to manage.
For production use cases, use our [Browser Use Cloud API](https://cloud.browser-use.com) which handles:
- Scalable browser infrastructure
- Memory management
- Proxy rotation
- Stealth browser fingerprinting
- High-performance parallel execution
**Tell your computer what to do, and it gets it done.**
