Overview

This node integrates with Browser Use, a service for automating browser interactions using AI. It supports multiple operations such as running new browser automation tasks with natural language instructions, retrieving task details, checking task status, pausing, resuming, stopping tasks, listing tasks, and fetching media (screenshots, videos, PDFs) captured during tasks. It can connect either via a Cloud API or a locally running bridge service, making it flexible for different deployment scenarios. This node is useful for automating web browsing tasks like data extraction, testing, or repetitive web interactions without manual intervention.

Use Case Examples

1. Run a task to navigate to a website, perform searches, and extract data automatically.
2. Retrieve the status or detailed information of a previously run browser automation task.
3. Fetch screenshots or videos recorded during a browser automation session for review or documentation.
4. Pause or resume a running browser automation task as needed.
