Overview

This node allows users to interact with the Browser Use service to automate browser tasks using AI. It supports operations such as running new tasks with natural language instructions, pausing, resuming, stopping tasks, retrieving task status, media, and detailed information, and listing tasks. It can connect either via a cloud API or a local bridge setup, making it flexible for different deployment environments. This node is useful for automating web interactions like data extraction, navigation, and session management, which can be applied in scenarios such as web scraping, automated testing, or workflow automation involving web browsers.

Use Case Examples

1. Run a browser automation task to navigate to a website, perform searches, and extract data.
2. Pause a running browser task temporarily to manage resource usage or timing.
3. Retrieve a screenshot or video recording of a browser automation session for review.
4. List all browser automation tasks to monitor and manage ongoing or completed tasks.
