Hyperbrowser

Hyperbrowser runs cloud browsers and sandboxes for AI agents, web scraping and automation, controlled through an API, SDKs or Playwright.

Hyperbrowser is a cloud service that gives AI agents and automation scripts real browsers to work in. Developers start browser sessions through its API or Python and Node SDKs, and can connect existing Playwright or Puppeteer scripts to them. Stealth mode and proxies help sessions get past bot detection, and a Web API turns pages into data for scraping. It also hosts browser agents, including its own HyperAgent, Browser Use, and computer-use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others, plus sandboxes for running code that are managed from the terminal. Pricing is credit based: 1,000 credits cost $1, a browser hour costs 100 credits and a scraped page 1 credit.
