Overview

This node integrates with the Browser Use service to automate browser interactions using AI. It supports multiple operations such as running new browser automation tasks with natural language instructions, retrieving task status, stopping tasks, pausing/resuming tasks, fetching task media (screenshots, videos, PDFs), and listing all 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 monitoring web pages without manual intervention.

Use Case Examples

1. Run a task to navigate to a website, perform searches, and extract data automatically.
2. Check the status of a running or completed browser automation task to monitor progress.
3. Retrieve screenshots or videos captured during a browser automation session for review.
4. Pause or resume browser automation tasks as needed during workflow execution.
