Overview
The node interacts with the BrowserAI API to manage and retrieve tasks related to browser automation. Specifically, the "Get Saved Task by Name" operation fetches a saved task using its unique name identifier. This is useful when you want to retrieve predefined automation tasks stored in BrowserAI for reuse or inspection.
Common scenarios include:
- Retrieving a saved automation task configuration by its name to review or modify it.
- Integrating BrowserAI saved tasks into larger workflows by fetching their details dynamically.
- Automating task management by querying saved tasks without manually searching in the BrowserAI dashboard.
Example: You have a saved task named "DailyPriceCheck" that automates price monitoring on an e-commerce site. Using this node operation, you can fetch the task details by specifying "DailyPriceCheck" as the task name.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |

Output
The output is a JSON object representing the saved task data returned by the BrowserAI API. It contains all relevant information about the saved task, such as its configuration, instructions, scheduling (if any), and metadata.
The node does not output binary data for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the BrowserAI API.
- The node sends HTTP requests to
https://browser.ai/api/v1/. - Proper network access to the BrowserAI service endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid API key: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
- Task not found error: If the specified task name does not exist, the API may return an error or empty response. Verify the task name spelling and existence in BrowserAI.
- Country requirement: Although not directly required for this operation, other operations require a country property. Make sure to use the correct properties for each operation.
- Network issues: Check connectivity to the BrowserAI API endpoint if requests time out or fail.
