Start using Agent Browser

A beginner's guide for purchasing and using Oxylabs Agent Browser to automate browsing for AI agents and web scraping.

Creating a Agent Browser user

1. Create a dashboard account and navigate to Pricing.
2. Choose a pricing plan that fits your needs. Every new account also gets a welcome credit to spend right away. See How pricing and billing work for details.
3. Create an Agent Browser instance in the dashboard. You're required to name the instance before you can confirm it.
4. Your username and password are generated automatically and can be viewed anytime in the instance settings.

Making your first request

You can connect to Agent Browser using Playwright, Puppeteer, or any tools that support the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). Additionally, you can integrate directly with AI applications through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling full automation of your browsing workflows.

Let’s try a basic connection to the Agent Browser using Playwright.

Playwright example in Python

Install the Playwright library through your terminal:

pip install playwright

Use your Agent Browser credentials and run the code:

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

username = "your-username"
password = "your-password"
endpoint = "hb.oxylabs.io"
browser_url = f"wss://{username}:{password}@{endpoint}"

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.connect_over_cdp(browser_url)
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto('https://oxylabs.io/')
    print(page.title())
    browser.close()

Playwright example in JavaScript

Install the Playwright library through your terminal:

npm init -y
npm install playwright

Enter your Agent Browser credentials and run the code:

const { chromium } = require('playwright');

(async () => {
    const username = 'your-username';
    const password = 'your-password';
    const endpoint = 'hb.oxylabs.io';
    const browserUrl = `wss://${username}:${password}@${endpoint}`;

    const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(browserUrl);
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto('https://oxylabs.io/');
    console.log(await page.title());
    await browser.close();
})();
